Floppy disks, Radio Shack, you speaking a foreign language to these folks 🤣
Lol.
I hope Pete Rock backed up those fuckin radio Shack floppies lmfao
Most people who still own these install a floppy emulator. But it's a bitch converting your archive of floppies over to the sd/USB drive.
Miss those days!!! Then running to Kmart or Electronics Boutique/Babbages to find more lol
@@customerservice9602
Not really, I have a 1200 with a SD reader. But I put a switch on it so i can go back and forth between it and the original floppy drive💾...
In '87, people had flat-tops instead of laptops!
I damn sure had one, and I am from Alabama!
Lmao!
They're wearing FLAT TOPS AGAIN!!
“THE SP 1200 IS THE EFFECT!!”
Lmao!
This bought tears to my eyes. I still have my S950/MPC60 combo. I still want a sp1200. When I was younger we went to Calliope Studios where Gangstarr recorded Daily Operationthe same year they recorded it. Best moment ever.
Oh ok Nice.
That's a devastating combo
How can something so informative, be so FUNNY?!! Thank you, for always making us laugh, and putting a smile on our face. Who knew, one could make comedic skits about “vintage samplers”?
Thanks bro..I try lol..I appreciate it.
I came to learn about the sp 1200, I stayed for the enthusiasm in his voice
Lol Thanks.
There were thousands of classics made on the 1200 with only 10 seconds of sample time a machine from the 80's , it is now the year 2021 and we have daws with endless sample time , tons of software, limitless storage and there are no more classics only viral hits
The biggest viral hit last year was COVID 19...
I'm still amazed that POP stars made ( or used a sidekick ) hits with the SP like Phil Collins / Peter Gabriel / Talking Heads / R.E.M
I feel u.
There are definitely classics being made in 2021, you just not listening to the right stuff
@@hip360hop ...I agree there are tons of really good music these days, but no classics, no trail blazers , no leaders , no originals nothing to pave the way , the way hip hop did in the late 80 ' s and early 90's
Still got my SP1200 and 10sec is enough...It brings out you creativity ✌️🤣 🎧
Your a lucky man..Dont sell it.
@@DyReckProductions Thanks and Never Will...Hip Hop 4 Life ✌🏾🧔🏾🎧
I got now the Teenage Engineering OP-1 First Gen ( 12 sec. )...but is is really a ( digital )TAPE maschine. ( Ping Pong Sampling )
@@DyReckProductions Yes...or give it away. #StreetCreditPoints
@@hiphophobbyklub Alot of folks loved the OP-1
10 seconds when you're someone who works on music is as close to an eternity as it gets.
My first studio was in my pops shop. I had an 8'x8' control room and an 8'x8' vocal booth with bed foam for insulation. In the control room we had 2-Gemini 1800's which ended up 2-Technics 1200's, a 4 track cassette recorder, a rack mount 8 bit Gemini sampler and a Roland Dr-5 drum machine which gave you 4 tracks. 1 was drums and the other 3 you could place any sounds, fonts, etc. This drum machine taught me how to make my on sounds with panning, decay, volumes, whatever. The sounds you get outta the hardware hits way harder than that the software. I was blessed to work for an NFL players studio in the 90's and I'm still seeing young men in my area post up. Yung Bleu is just one. Love Hip Hop til this day!
Nice alot of music production experience..And its good your a working producer.
I have boss dr 5
You are right when you said “The SP1200 is the effect” lol. It wasn’t too long ago that I saw somebody compared the sound of the SP1200 to the MPC X’s SP1200 emulator and man let me tell you..As old as the SP1200 is, it still sounded way better than the MPC X’s emulation of the SP1200 lol. That trips me out just thinking about it.
Yeah man the SP 12 is an effect within itself.
@@DyReckProductions Yup...make your own EFFECTS with the SP. ( like PAUL C. )
Dyrek you are inCREDIBLY entertaining!! Props for this.
1993 my boy came over with his SP 12 , blew our minds off our heads !
for real, dat guy tellin youngsters "oh so you wanna make beats huh"....Lol
'Kid, back in my day all we had was a music theory book and some rocks. But you just want to waltz in here and take it all huh?'
Just think, in 1995 , you could get a used Sp1200 for about $300-$350. They were giving them away in the mid-90s. Who would have known??
Thats crazy.
Wow. Nowadays I see people selling them from 4 to 5 Gs smh
I have the MPC Live and it's great - but now I wanna try out this Dinosaur. 🖖😉
Lol. I feel u.
The SP-1200 is the definition of the Golden Age of Hip-Hop. Just mad that Emu doesn't do anything music-related (closed that division in 2002-2003 apparently).
They got bought out by creative and creative basically took all of e-mu's technology and put it into their sound cards that they have been making for the last 25 years. The last emu system was a sound card. E-mu 1616m
I love this series. Lots of great information and so funny too! The SP-1200 looks so simple and stripped-down compared to a lot of other machines of the time. Prices on eBay look absolutely insane though 😳
Yeah the prices are crazy..Rossum released a new one and those prices are crazy too Lol.
I love your comedic and thorough breakdown of this Classic beatmakin Monsta that I still own since '92 ....PEACE !!
This guy's energy is dope
Im watching all your vids man, great work!!
in order to save space for sampling, there was very common practice to record the sample or loop in higher speed and then slow down in the sp, that adds an extra grit to the sound.
No doubt fam..I appreciate the support!
Wow 🤩 You went HARD on this video! I must’ve rewinded six times so I would not miss something!
Lmao! Thanks.
The SP 1200 is the effect 🤣🤣
Awesome work sir. 💪🏿
So much musical magic made with this machine, it literally created the soundtrack to my youth. Love the footage of Cube, Jinx and Sista Dee from "Pump It Up"! Rumor has it that Dr. Dre and Sir Jinx actually shared that same SP-1200 in their early days of producing, and influenced each other's sound.
Oh ok Cool..Yeah the SP really did help shape the sound of hiphop.
Really? Shout out to Jinx
@@DyReckProductions With Paul C.
@@hiphophobbyklub I feel u.
@@hiphophobbyklub 💯
@7:50 thanks for explaining that - I didn't know 4 faders were involved but I knew they did adjust the slice - great control.
Soooo dramatic 😂😂😂 I love it!!! Please make another video on the new sp1200 rossum…
Thanks bro!..I got one on the Rossom..th-cam.com/video/6ntaA5zExlk/w-d-xo.html
I wanted one for years. Now a few days ago I ordered a sp12. Man im so excited
I was wondering when you were going to get to the S950. It was a studio staple. The way we got around the 10 seconds was to play the record at a faster pitch and then slow the sample down in the SP. We did that to all hardware samplers back then fr fr
I feel you .
You're in luck! th-cam.com/video/CKZP04jOzWA/w-d-xo.html
Every song I ever made from 1989 to 1998 was made on a SP-1200
Wow...Thats dope!
Low hiss has an emulator for the sp-1200. It’s in beta still so not complete yet but it is still a very accurate digital version of it. Which means it’s easier for someone like me to get my hands on it, but would still love to get an analog version some day.
Oh ok I got to check that out.
"It's four more bits!!!" 🤣
10 seconds of sample time in 1987 was like christs second coming. Sp 1200 + S950 = Perfection
I often hear about this combo. I have 0 experience of hardware. Why do they work so well together and what's the benefit of using both?
@@tomburton5500 Because youre gonna get more sample time and The s950 has a cleaner sound so many prefer do do their samples and melodies on the s950, and use the sp for the dirty drums. Thats how i always used them. Sometimes for things like strings or pianos, id find the sp too crunchy for them, the s950 solved that big time. Also, s950 has timestretch which was a big deal. And its not "regular" timestretch like we use today, it had its own algorithm, its pretty technical but id look into it its fascinating.
@@jonathansoko1085 thanks mate. Nice explanation 👌
Muggs, Madlib, Lord Finesse, Showbiz, Mr. Mixx and many others rocked the SP 1200 too.
Yup.. Alot of legends.
Beatminerz especially
EMU made great stuff. I love their romplers.
Just want to drop this here, the NES was an 8 bit machine but the triangle, and two pulse wave channels were only 4-bit! It had one sample channel that was also 1-bit, how crazy is that? The vast majority of the drums for the NES were made using the noise channel of the ricoh 2A03.
Oh wow! cool.
The car keys jokes is crazy! 🤣🤣
What had happen was , I stumble onto a channel discussing gear I've always been interested in. Subscribed man, good content.
thank god for this video! i been flooded with Kwame Brown videos for the last week...
Lol..I feel u.
I'm still using & loving E-mu SP1200.
OG: "if you use the SP, what key will you be playing in?" Young'n response: "I have my car keys." Amazing. And so true. My father raised me on the 4-Track, Roland D-50, etc, so I'm real good with vintage going back further than most ppl my age (33), but when I unearthed his Sony "Portable" Reel-to-Reel tape recorder I couldn't for the life of me thread the tape through the mechanisms, even when I looked it up online - it took my father like 10 seconds to do it with 1 hand, almost no fine motor skills (stroke). Also I was stupid cuz I had this idea that it could fatten sounds I run through it? Sounds like AM radio but even more stunted hi frequency.
Yeah its not as easy at it looks..I saw a guy try to thread the tape and it took him a min to get it right.
Yeeess!! this machine was my childhood. i heard about the sp-1200 and the technic 1200 back in old hip hop
Yeah man legendary gear.
11:24 This story sounds more personal than hypothetical. 😂
Lol..Im a little younger but close lol.
@@DyReckProductions I look forward to your videos. I always learn new stuff and enjoy venting with you. lol! Pro Tools sooon?? Maybe??
@@ransmomebloke1949 Lol. Your reading my mind.
Another dopppppppeee video! Sheez. To this day I still cannot afford the sp1200! I wanted one back in the day so bad.
On the real I am a vintage gear user and collector since the late 90s. When you told the story about the youngins coming to the studio welp you are correct!! That is how it was in the 90s when I was learning and now I'm that guy saying "go back to your laptop and FL Studio"
Last but not least shout out to Dee from Pump it Up!! Watched that religiously. Man o man.
Again video is so entertaining and well put together.
Thanks bro..Yeah Pump it Up was the joint!
The EM-U Sp1200 and the EM-U Emax 2 keyboard 16bit stereo sampler with 8 megabytes of RAM combined Together was a Beast...Don’t sleep on EM-U Equipment✌🏾🧔🏾🎧
Yeah that company had some nice stuff.
Hip hop needs more SP 1200 beats in 2021.
I feel u lol.
The sp1200 was made for rock drummers to create backing tracks it was never intended for hip hop , remember hip hop was at its infancy in the 80 's , what direction would have the hip hop movement would have taken if that machine were never invented there were other samplers but the sp1200 is the foundation of hip hop
Yeah, you hear the same re: the MPC 60. I wonder how Hip Hop would have developed had sampling technology not advanced around that time. Maybe it’d have been more ROM-sounds, so electronic sounding like Kurtis Blow/Bambaartaa, and less funk/soul/jazz based (cause the latter was all sampled records).
I’ve pondered this as well
I love your energy. Your knowledge is dope
Thanks fam!..I appreciate it.
@@DyReckProductions absolutely 💯. Keep doing your thing
I never knew that story about the In Living Color theme. Makes sense w/ Heavy D rapping on it. Thanks for the knowledge drop💯
No doubt fam..Yeah his Dj Eddie F used it.
R.I.P To The Legendary Heavy D!
@@DyReckProductions Urban Mythe : The ( first ) SP of Pete Rock was the SP of Teddy Riley...Rumours goes that the SP later was passed on to DJ SPINNA.
@@hiphophobbyklub Oh ok cool.
Best sketch show ever. Chapelle before Chapelle.
chopping on the sp is a joy new jacks will never understand
I feel you.
I own both the SP1200 and the S2400. The 2400 is dope but it’s not a clone. I have a couple of videos on my channel.
Oh ok got to check it out.
You went crazy on this video bro
Thanks fam!..I appreciate it.
Love these videos, salute
Thanks fam.
My brother stole mine back in 2002 and we still don't speak because of that
You should've sued him.
Thats crazy
@@MEETMagazine maybe I should because it's worth 6k now smh
@@djrek521
Look again at what price people are asking. I'm seeing 10k and up. YIKES!!! I got mines for $2500. Last year because someone lost their job in the plandemic.
@@thadirtyabbott33 hey you said plandemic you know the know
Ced-Gee from UltraMagnetic MC's pionered the SP12 first in 1985 in Claremont Housing projects in the South Bronx. He was before everyone you mentioned in this video! Ced-Gee was the 1St chopping samples crazy on the machine. He and the rest of UltraMagnetic MC'S innovated on both the SP12 & SP1200. Ced taught DJ Scott La Rock how to use the SP12 and he use to trade notes not in the manual with Paul C. Mckasty such as the fast truncation and the delay aka fake echo up @ Studio 1212 in Queens. Chopping samples and layering grooves with multiple changes. Criminal Minded album by Boogie Down Productions and Critical Beatdown by UltraMagnetic, Tim Dog "Penicillin On Wax".
Also, Marley Marl didn't use the SP1200 on Eric B. & Rakim's "Eric B. For President".
I said Marley used it ??..I remember he said he used two korg delay racks. Dope info on Ced-Gee btw!
i went to some cats house to buy his ASR 10 and he had one other piece of gear in the room. yup... this one. i asked if he wanted to sell both to me and he said helllllllllll nah. haha
DOPE VIDEO -LOL THE SP1200 IS THE EFFECT - FACTS
like the hit from Audi Two - Top Billin'
You didn't even mention one of the main techniques behind using the sp1200 and the 10 secs sample time. Dudes would switch off their turntable and spin the record forward really fast while sampling it, so they could slow it down and sample wayyyy longer, it also lowered the resolution doing that which gave even more of a crunch to the sound, which is heard on countless records.
Yeah I was gonna mention that and more but the video would have been way to long lol..Had to cut out some stuff.
Yeah, good point. It's called aliasing... It's the magic ring sound notoriously known on the 1200 from the Curtis Chips!👍🏾
For better timing, I just played it on 45 or 78.
78rpm = make a SP beat = tape it to Reel 2 Reel tape = Re-Sample ( PingPong Sampling )
@@DyReckProductions that;s why the MYTHE's are still a SP gap.... #ShareTheKnowledge
SP 1200 was released in August 1987.
2022 ebay: $15,000
lol the Radio Shack employee impression, I'm dead
Lmao!
Serious historical facts in this vid. Learned a lot of isht I didn't know. Good look, my G!
No doubt thanks fam.
Thank you for this 🔥🔥 I use my 1200 daily and couldn't imagine not having it 💾. Love the stories of old school producers teaching younger ones. A close family friend was one of the first producers in LA back then, and taught others who went on to do big things.
No doubt fam thanks.
Nice video, alot of cool insight on the SP 1200 👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks fam.
I still have my SP1200 and I used to run it with an E-MU EMAX rack mount sampler when it came out to get more sample time.
Nice!
Lord Finesse! Diggin In the Krates
I love your commentary on your vids 😂👌
Thanks bro!
My First Machine. Copped mines in 97. Nothing f’ing with it till this day. The sound is unmatched.
I feel u.
These videos are dope . Thanks for this
No doubt bro Thanks.
1:00 The entire chorus of “It’s Yourz” by Wu Tang Clan!!!
Yup.
That old head talk half way through the video had me rolling.
Lmao!
Like the ensoniq EPS looping was fun really missing that hardware , back then DAW was new to the game . Quite frankly 10 seconds for my work is to this day more than enough time as a sampling slayer . I had the ensoniq eps workstation with the expansion pack RZA produced most of not all of 36 chambers but it was stolen in a break in, broke my heart so I just continued with DAW I Had acid pro . Never got the Sp1200 but now it’s on my Christmas list
Oh ok..Do you still use acid?..Sucks about the break in.
Whats good bro..... can you do what has happen was on the Roland QY 10 ?.....keep up the great work
The Yamaha joint ? Ima check it out.
Since 1990 I've owned 2 1200's and 4 SP-12'S including the one I currently have in my setup I've owned pretty much everything from the asr , eps , eps 16 plus , mpc 60,60ii , 3000 mv 8000/8800 sp303 sp 505 but I kept coming back to the SP because of the sound and simplicity of use I can get into funk mode asap . So for me hands down this is my all time favourite joint next to my mpc 3000. One thing I will say is when you midi that SP up to another sampler like the 950 , asr 10 , eps 16 , emax 1 or 2 rack or my favourite the emu E6400 I call that the Lewis Parker Special than its game over .
Wow you owned all the Dope Legendary pieces..I know your studio was probably booked all year around.
@@DyReckProductions I still have my SP12 & mpc 3000 le #0009 . Funny thing is D i never opened up my spot to the public I mainly was just working on stuff for myself and would let a few close friends use my setup .
@@philtyrich1 Oh ok I feel u.
@@DyReckProductions D in hindsight I should’ve opened it up to the people and charged I would of probably been able to cop more equipment.
You definitely snapped on this one 🎹🔥
Lol Thanks fam.
I thought you did this classic already. Although I worked alongside producers who used it, I never used one myself. Not using that and the ASR10 are my biggest regrets
Lol. I feel u..There both crazy expensive on Ebay now.
aka native shades! i love this series.
Thanks fam!
I really be loving your series DyReck. Its a thing of nostalgia and education. So when exactly did the SP1200 die and what was its replacement?
People who wanted more started copping the Akai MPC 60. It was kind of like having an SP1200 and S950 combined... (but not exactly 🤷🏽♂️)
@@TapeWormOfficial Sampling Time = MONEY
@@TapeWormOfficial Yeah pretty much.
Dope Video as always
Thanks fam.
What had happened was is it came back in 2021 and I got the new Rossum SP1200 which is 🔥🔥 as is my ISLA S2400.
love it!
I was waiting for one on this
Lol.
ayoo have you/what have you personally produced dude?? you know so much about the entire world of hip hop. big fan love watching these
Whats up bro.I made a couple rap albums. Didn't go nowhere..But stingy producers got me into making my own beats lol..I been around alot of gear and used alot..Might put up some of those album tracks.
"WOW!!!!! TEN SECONDS!!!!!!"
- Native Shades
Lmao!
11:12 you're right. I was in 5th grade in 1987
Lol No doubt!
I did have the SP12, slept on the 1200 for the MPC60, still looking for one, Rogue Music had one but someone purchased it. Radio Shack lol true that swcurity stopped following around the store, when you purchased over $100 in disks.
DJ Nasty Nell had one and he did club bangers with it. The machine is a CLASSIC.
Droppin knowledge...grateful...
Thanks bro.
dope vid bro...subbed and liked!
Thanks fam.
you could straight up design a whole beat in a few hours and give your emcee some fire to work with. this machine is classic. When the dr sample came out , the sp-808 by boss?, i teamed up the much smaller box that had big ass sd card that was like 16 MB, with my turn tables and thats really when the creativity was unleashed. Id say circa 1993.....
I feel u..My boy stayed using the SP 808..It has a very good deep bass sound.
Maaaan!!! I just went on Ebay to see how much the SP 1200 are going for, and they want $8,0000 to $15,000 for one. Those beat machines are like comic book collectibles now. Wow!!
Dang! 15,000!
“Beats knock redundant off that SP1200”
Mannie Fresh bought the new 1200 and set up next to the old 1200 he used to make 400 Degreez🔥💣
Oh ok dope!
I always thought the emax keyboard would make a great companion
Probably.
Had the emax 100
other legends in tennessee like smk (originally from new york) taught dj squeeky how to make beats on the sp1200 and likely taught dj paul from three six mafia (he gave him samples and drums). even juicy j was using it too. dope video btw homie
Thanks fam I appreciate it.
Gotta get the SP1200 clone. Have you ever seen it?
Overpriced and not the same, just looks similar
Yeah..And heard alot about it..gotta really check it out though.
No ... How much is it going for.. what are they calling it?
@@ericdunn7521 If he is referring to Isla S2400, it is not a clone. It simply captures the same 12-Bit 26Khz bit and sample rate. But with modern features. It's better than that overpriced piece of s%$%$ SP1200. I paid under $800 for mine. But I preordered mine a few months after the preorder option was available. Now it's $1500.
@@UncleBenjs $1400 is overpriced? Have you seen the prices of the original? They do sound very similar
Dude be getting excited 😆 good content
Lmao! Thanks fam!
😂😂😂
Fun fact... Rza used the ASR-10 to create triumph not the 1200. But still you've created a dope mini doc for the SP 1200
it was the asr, an mpc , a nord lead and a yahmaha keyboard that he used on triumph he said it on power 106
Thumbs up for the Handsome Boy Modeling School pic!
Lol thanks.
Sp +950. Must have for NY producers. The combo just worked. Too many hits. For that it deserves full respect.
Word up.
Fam the programming was like Chinese math..it was so hard. That is why mine is still in the closet hahaha
Now Rossum makes a return with a new unit
Yup.
I just got my car keys
Lmao!!
That machine is responsible for so many classics.
Word!
