I could've made a video for each one of them. I knew Samplers would not get the same attention as Synths. But they deserve as much credit (if not more) than Synths. These machines really defined the sound of industrial music. I also just wanted to take the time to thank everybody that subscribed and interact with my content. It's REALLY appreciated and I love how Industrial music still resonates with people in 2024. THANK YOU!! 🤘
yeah dude, don't EVER sell that haha computers just can't mimic that sound...I mean you couuuuld technically but it'll never be the same. It's just ''too clean'' haha
I was never that found of Industrial music, but the way you have been putting its history throught its hardware really instigate curiosity. I was really missing out.
wow thank you 🙏🏻 I've always been that gear nerd that is like "did you know that they used this to do that etc etc.." haha I thought that combining the things I love would maybe resonate with people, history/gear/music. Industrial is full of history, I feel like it makes the music even better when knowing all that haha thanks again, your comment made my day 🙏🏻
The available VST plugin alternatives of these samplers are: - "CMI V" and "Emulator II V" are "Fairchild CMI" and "E-MU Emulator II" emulations made by Arturia. - "Morgana" is an "Ensoniq Mirage" emulation made by 112db. - "RX950 Classic AD/DA Converter" is a filter made by Inphonik which simulates the "Akai S950" sound grain.
I have been watching your channel for a good few months but just realised it might be my favourite... there is not a video I don't watch, I grew up on EBM in the early 2000's and is my inspiration for producing in the first place so this is really the only channel that explores origins/writing of that kind of music. Thank you please never stop! If there is ever a request: Show us the sampling techniques of Velvet Acid Christ?
hey thanks alot man :) I also grew up with that music. I think it has sooo much history that deserves to be shared. I remember VaC used to have a website/blog where he was sharing a LOT of stuff in the early 2000's. Maybe it's still online somewhere.
I own a Mirage, which might seem unusable today, but it’s just too much fun. Moreover, by using the alternative operating system Soundprocess, the Mirage becomes a wavetable synth. It’s not just vintage fetishism; it’s truly a beautiful instrument. 😅
Another incredible video! I'm hoping to get an Emax one day! The DSS-1 is also incredible but it doesn't seem like it was as widely used. Also I used to have a Mirage but the sound was actually tooooo dirty for me - which is crazy to type rn.
hahaha thanks man :) yeah I allllmost added the Emax in there, I love it. I agree the Mirage sound is ''dirty'', but I guess it depends on what type of music you want to do. I would totally buy a Mirage just to re-sample stuff with it haha
Adrain Sherwood used Fairlight all over Twitch album. You can find the ROMs of the original sample library easily on the internet, and loading up the percussion with a little pitch shifting, you basically have Twitch's percussion (just add some saturation)
@ also it was the closest to a fairlight, as far as the video editing capabilities. You could hook up a screen to the Sampler and you could visually edit all your samples and sequence your songs as well all visually.
@ the S750 was a powerhouse of a sampler!!! A good friend of mine had the S750 , but it did have a learning curve. But in my opinion it was one of the best samplers for it price range!
I had a Yamaha A3000 sampler back almost 30 years ago. I feel like nobody knows about it, yet alone had one. It could do a nasty/crunchy/gritty sound that I loved for `industrial` like sounds. Also, you could take a drum loop, and it had a slicer and randomizer that could rearrange a beat into dozens of great variations. (It was random, so of course some just sucked, but with a bit of patience you could find yourself some random `gold`.) Floppy disc transferring samples from your computer to (any) sampler back in the day stunk. With the A3000 (probably other samplers as well), you could replace the floppy drive with a ZIP drive (or something like that) and that helped, but the floppy drive was just a limitation of the times.
Haha well I'll take that as a compliment. I'm almost 40 years old. We used those disks at school and also the home computer had that haha The sound that they make when you put it in lol Engraved in my head.
@ I have an Ensoniq EPS 16+, a Kurzweil K2000, E-MU E5000 and a Akai MPC One. Each has a distinct flavor. They are not used much any more but I can’t bring myself to get rid of them! (Okay… I maybe could get rid of the mpc one 🤣)
The big one missed out here are the Kurzweil K2000 series. Again, heavily used by NiN and several other Industrial acts. It's engine is able to really screw around with the samples, plus it had a great effects engine built into it. A pain to use though, but it's great for sample mangling.
hey! agreed! I had one around 2009. Great machine, huge synth haha I sold it because of what you said. Hard to use and integrate in a ''modern'' setup. But it really is a classic.

You should do one just for nine inch nails.
@@peiwei3873 that is actually a really good idea. Noted :)
That's why I still hang on to my maxed out E-mu E4X and my Kawai R50e. I just love that vintage sound.
yeah dude, don't EVER sell that haha computers just can't mimic that sound...I mean you couuuuld technically but it'll never be the same. It's just ''too clean'' haha

Hey! thanks man. I didn't know the last one about the Akai S950. I'll check that out foooor sure haha
Orchestral sample reminded me of Twitch by Ministry, I believe in a title track.
haha yeah 100% that album is FULL of fairlight samples. Probably my fav Ministry album along LORAH
that was a game changer for me, when I realized that all my favorite industrial bands used sampled guitars; great video as always
Haha same! yeah a lot of late 80s early 90s industrial is all sampled guitars. Live they would play them, but in the studio it's all sampling haha

Exactly! that's exactly what I did this morning haha maybe a video about it would be cool :) That first track on Twitch is a Fairlight showcase lol
One sampler that I used and hardly no one mentions it, is the Roland S-50. 12 bit sampler it kicked major ass back in 1986!
Interesting! I don't know much about it. I'll check that out for sure.
@ also it was the closest to a fairlight, as far as the video editing capabilities. You could hook up a screen to the Sampler and you could visually edit all your samples and sequence your songs as well all visually.
I had an S750 in '94. Hell of a thing - great filters, envelopes. And a VGA monitor. Pissed all over my S1000.

There's an awesome video about how the Terminator soundtrack was composed on the Fairlight floating around TH-cam somewhere
I THINK I might've watched that a long time ago. I don't remember the channel though
@@Tonepusher th-cam.com/video/nnpYowxlwsU/w-d-xo.html ?
Great Video. brought back a lot of memories!!!! I do think you are too young to remember those 5 inch discs. LOL.
Haha well I'll take that as a compliment. I'm almost 40 years old. We used those disks at school and also the home computer had that haha The sound that they make when you put it in lol Engraved in my head.
Just the video I have been waiting on!!!
haha 🤘🏻 had a lot of fun making it. Can't talk about Industrial without talkig about Samplers!! hehe

Al Ministry from Jourgensen is now canon
HAHAHA 🤪
T2 was made on a fairlite.
yeah it was made almost entirely on the fairlight

loll in my head, that image has a sound
