I have one I put back in it's box and haven't used it for several years. The effects controllers are quite fiddley I think. I might get it back out and play with it for awhile.
Fantom Aeronautics uses Microsampler. Do not be afraid of the Microsampler. It is a device that will make you think and learn, it will bring creativity but not on a plate.
Jason Jones and the robots nice price! grats! pawn shops are dead in the states for any gear now, they scan ebay for everything nowdays :( i dove on the first that came up for 450$ which i guess isn't too far off after currency conversion :) the previous one sold for 200$ but was a while ago. nice find!
thx... 2020 just ordered mine lol. was not impressed when this came out, ...was waiting for something as perfect as the asr-10, but just faster smaller and updated. but it STILL hasn't happened to this day! going back and appreciating this machine so much now! i hope the software runs on win10 lol
Gearfacts oh haha you did? it so funny i'm not kidding how many years i waiting for replacement for asr-10 hahaha. this has so many sacrifices but the essence is as close as it has come....lstill in 2020 even with octatrack and all that. ugh :( i'm sad you sold it too but they come up it seems from time to time. i was shocked to see ZERO in the states on reverb and ebay.,.,,,all feom japan. i am guessing they did not sell well here? or people really holding on to them that tight? anyway, was a good sign for me, and a few days later one popped up for a decent price. :) a few days more delay because of covid mail but yeah.....thanks for this vid!
Hey mate, I have a newer MacBook and the software (sound librarian) is too old to open. Any idea if there's an updated version or a third party program? thanks in advance!
Hello. Thanks for the vid. Wanted to ask if you know how to load multiple samples at once from your computer onto the software and create a bank without having the keyboard connected. Is that possible? Appreciate the help. Rock on.
Do you mind making a video showcasing the sample parameters? Especially the semitone adjust or time stretch. Thinking of getting one due to the ease of chopping samples. The only drawback I see using the micro is when triggering samples, they won’t cancel each other like an mpc or with choke groups. Thank you for the content!
@@gearfacts i see, no worries! I wish Korg would eventually release an MS2 with updated features like sd card memory haha. That would truly be a surprise.
Thanks, this was really helpful. One question: are you not able to choose the sampling type in the editor? I can't find it as an option anywhere, unless I'm missing something. When I transmit samples to the Microsampler, they seem to all be in "gate" mode, but I need some of them to be in "one shot" mode.
Great question and I wish I had an answer... but this Microsampler left the Gearfacts studio a couple of years ago. Do any other viewers seeing these comments have an answer for Greg? :) #gearfacts
@@gearfacts Actually, I think I figured it out. Well, a workaround, at least. If you turn the decay and release all the way up to 127, the sample plays in its entirety at full volume, as if it were in "one shot" mode. Thank you, though!
God Flow agree. but DO look at the teenage engineering PO-33 ....i actually ordered that also. it is amazing for a lot of real time jam tricks and streamlined essential sampling fun! the korg volca sample COULD have been the ultimate ultimate real time jam sampler but dealbreaker buzzkill fail ruined it.....the lack of ability to actually "sample"!! D: WTF! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ mega fail with no sample input :( i was heartbroken for realz. if you cannot afford the microsampler, or cannot find one.....the PO i think is still currently second best. good luck! i hope u score a microsampler! 🙏🏼☺️❤️
Top vid Mr G, I am quite sure there are plenty of people this tutorial will help

'Fiddly' is the right word, and it's a big design problem in this otherwise excellent unit.

That's the best kind of device :) #gearfacts
well said! cheeeers man ✊ (as with all capable samplers! ❤️ no matter which workflow you can tolerate haha)
Just got mine , loving it so far, your videos are helping a lot
Thanks for watching man! And please say Hi to the robots for me :) GF
Hey bud how much/where’d you get yours from?
God Flow I got it from a pawn shop in Nottingham mate . Paid 170.00
Jason Jones and the robots u loving it?!? almost a year later! :) time sure flies ;)

I'm wishing I never sold mine :)

I don't know, sorry. All I can suggest is facebook forums (there must be a Microsampler group) or the Korg Website.

Hi, no you have to have the keyboard connected to load sounds. The only other way to add sounds is to record samples.

Hi JM, sadly it's gone now, like so many other devices that I'd like to forge a deeper relationship with :(
@@gearfacts i see, no worries! I wish Korg would eventually release an MS2 with updated features like sd card memory haha. That would truly be a surprise.
Junk Mail will never happen, this product was considered a fail by korg so why release another one
Those itty bitty teenie tiny keys though ...
Yep. I think it has to be viewed strictly as a sampler with 37 buttons rather than a chromatic instrument :)
those ugly weird squishy recessed buttons tho haha. it so freakin ugly but i am in love!

Wow if you ever sale yours please sell it to me, I’m obsessed with this little gadget, I can find anything like it anywhere

Never anything about the multi-timbrality and it’s use....great demo on loading sample tho ☝🏼😁
Thanks for watching! Gearfacts
KarzenX drop me a few tips here please :) 🙏🏼 mine arrives in a few days!
Can I import files from my smartphone? Also, does the microsampler save what it has in its banks when it is turned off?
I am only aware of PC software that does it. There might be a smartphone app but I've never seen it.
@@gearfacts Ok, as long as I can load the samples, turn it off, and then play those samples later when I turn it back on
I can't seem to install the software needed
It's pretty buggy, I had various problems too
@@gearfacts I think it's cause it's outdated for my computer
@@jakehart-kirby5401 yeah I think it depends heavily on your version of windows
@@gearfacts I've got Windows 10 and I downloaded the windows 10 version just can't seem to install it
Hey, friend! This video is from 2019? Did you still recommending this Sampler?
Yep I still recommend it, I think it's a great sampler going for really decent prices these days :) gf
@@gearfacts but and what about this very very low data capacity? :(
If you ever find a link for one please send it to me, Thankyou a lot
God Flow keep an eye on ebay and reverb for one to come up in your shipping area :)
Do you have any of these for sale?
No sorry. They have become rare and a bit expensive, sadly
