The sp1200 was not made for hip hop it just was a drum machine the people from the hood made this machine hot flipping sample and got real create after we made this sapling machine hot this machine sold like hot cakes thanks to mr Rossum for the development of the sp1200 you made a lot of bother's rich. Like I said this machine was jut for bands who didn't need a drummer but remember the hood made this machine good🤑!
Thanks to *CED GEE from Ultramagnetic MCs* for popularize the SP-12 in their singles "Ego Trippin" and many of BDP debut ("Criminal minded" album 1986).
it only takes 10 minutes to save on the 12 via commodore, loading is a little faster. sorry i love the 12 so i had to stick up for it. great interview! thank you to dave rossum!!!!
Great interview! I think the remake of SP1200 with original circuits and stuff would be something that would totally sell nowadays, especially if you're monitoring prices of SP1200 for past few years. The demand is huge, so are the prices. Is it even possible to start talking with Dave about crowdfunding this project?
I only wish they would have touched on how hip-hop producers used the 1200 for more than just drum sampling as it was intended; or how bass filtering was invented using the filtered outputs, etc. But Dave Rossum didn't seem to be aware of much more than the importance of the machine to hip-hop--understandable, of course, considering his age. Little did he know that J. Dilla--one of the greats on the instrument-- was the artist whose beats were released with a cardboard SP-1200. And the interviewer was so excited to even be interviewing the guy that he probably forgot a lot of questions he would have asked if he were more composed. I can just see him kicking himself on the way home. All that said, this was an incredible interview! Two real Menches!
Good interview. Good enthusiasm. I was hoping for more technical detail questions but it seems the SP-12 schematics are out there and someone has reversed engineered the Z80 code already? Any good clones, alternatives?
I disagree w the r8 comment lol that thing grooves like a motherfker. I sequence the e-mu p2k w it and it’s phenomenal. It just goes to show…it’s not what you use it’s how you use it.
@@robertcrystals yeah that aged like milk, but who knew 5 years ago we would end up with several choices to feed our SP1200 cravings - What a wonderful time to be alive in.
SOMEONE SHOULD MAKE AN E-MU SP1200 LIKE MACHINE!!!! THERE ARE OTHER REPLICAS OF OTHER OLD AWFUL MACHINES OUT THERE..So.. WHY DONT THEY MAKE SOMETHING USEFUL!!! Geez...
thx to isla instruments for realising the S2400 and dont get me wrong but fu mr rossum for not manufactoring a SP1200mk3 but selling renewed SP1200 for moon prices (7500$). money greedy guy...jus my opinion.
+Andrew Piatek I have to agree with Hans on this i'm afraid. When the R-8 came out I was recoding an album and the producer/studio owner loved it. In my track it sounded like someone banging on Tupperware , all the sounds in the mix sounded over bright and some how flat at the same time. I got into a massive argument and I lost a week of recording time over it .. In the paraphrased words of Brian Eno it will aways be an antediluvian piece Of junk. If you love it yourself then do something great on it .. more power too you:)
Mr. Rossum genuinely seems like an awesome guy. Huge fan of his work for 30+ years 👍🏻
5 years later....THANK YOU, MR. ROSSUM!!!!!!!!!!!

WAS THINKING THE SAME THING, especially when he mention dilla at the end.
"sample is good... SAMPLE IS GOOD!...yes... I like that"
would be GREAT if it ever got reissued!!
Emu need to rise from the ashes

And he said MP3 2000! 😆
super interview, danke!
So yes… he is bringing the 1200 back.
To the great creator pleeeeeease resurrect it!!!! SP forever!

Very interesting and good in depth interview. Thanks for your work.

Coolest sampler,atemporal machine...
Mein Held !!! I LOVE THE EMULATOR'S :)
The Linn9000 is 8bit Dave, not 16bit
who is the interviewer?
Notice to Europeans: Americans dont like being so close to other dudes when talking! U can tell hes weirded out
Lol he's so close. That would be cool if emu did a Phoenix
So very, very cool.
I disagree w the r8 comment lol that thing grooves like a motherfker. I sequence the e-mu p2k w it and it’s phenomenal. It just goes to show…it’s not what you use it’s how you use it.
Why not ask his advice for sp2400 being made?
love this!
Sehr interessant. Sample good!
Salute!
please bring back the machine SP 1200 rules! !!!!
please please please.:)

Must be relaunched a new version of the *SP-1200 with a Micro SD target input* .. floppy disk drives dont exist now
the item cost to much for what it actually does. compared to a 700-800 mpc but it looks vintage cool

awesome

It's def expensive but only $4000 which is less thn the original market of 5-10k for originals.

What is with the idiots playing terrible music in the store during a historic interview, making it unlistenable?
somewhat annoying interviewer... it shows that Dave is uncomfortable with him
