  • A viewer (bourgeoiscaesar) asked me how to chop samples and not just an unknown sample...no....he asked for the most famous 6-seconds drum break, the Amen-break. You will see it being sampled and chopped in this short tutorial.
    You will learn how to chop it in two different ways, manually and with the clipboard.
    Also you will learn how to create mute-groups, to put the samples to 'drum'-style and to set the general tempo to the sample's BPM to create time synced delays.
    Wait! I'm not the perfect finger drummer! This to protect myself ;-)
    The sample is taken from the incredible documentary, which can be found here: • Video explains the wor...
    Due to the increasing number of tutorials I’ve decided to use color coding for the type of videos.
    This to make it more easier to get a good overview.
    Red = Sampling
    Green = Effects
    Blue = Synthesizer
    Orange = System
    Yellow = Recorder

      bourgeoiscaesar thanks to you!! One of the most famous breakbeats needed to taped. It was a real pleasure to grab. More because of the original sample and not an already processed one.
      I’m not the finger drummer, as you have noticed, but man this was fun! ✌🏼
      Now 🙏🏼 for a lot of subscribers and views, AMEN! 😁

    Hey Roger, are you able to use the sp808 wave converter software with modern operating systems? I'm thinking about picking up a zip disc usb reader, but don't want one if I can't use it with my sp808.

    • @theMIDImaniac
      @theMIDImaniac  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi!
      The wav-converter will work with Mac when you can install WINE.
      With windows I don’t have experience at this moment.
      If the price is ok then I would buy the usb reader. Then you will be able to make backups.
      Good luck!

    The SP-808 is so nice to work with,...The zip disk is the only drawback,... Peace

    • @theMIDImaniac
      @theMIDImaniac  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree totally on both points ;D
      Try the Track-to-Pad function. With this feature you will never have the Zip-Drive error.

    how hard is the learning curve for the sp-808 would you say? thinking of getting one as the grooveboxaddict i am!

    • @theMIDImaniac
      @theMIDImaniac  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      We Island good and difficult question.
      I bought mine in middle 2017.
      I noticed that my knowledge about beats/bpm helped me and that the SP-808 super logical is.
      My advice when exploring is decide which part you want to discover because it offers a sampler, an effect machine, a synth, a step modulator and of course a multi track recorder for internal AND external usages.
      90% of the users complain about the Zip drive. But it also it’s charm IMO.
      It settles that area when Zip was hot.
      Don’t get overwhelmed about the possibilities. Step by step and for sure you have your first results in a day. Just sample looping with the track to pad mode is already cool.
      Do you have a PC + external USB Zip drive? Use the application to move your favourite wav-files to the disk and the fun can begin.
      Good luck on your decision.
      Grtzzz, Roger

      Acabo de ver este mensaje. Yo también tenía una unidad que rechazo discos. Pero cuando puse mis dedos para no rechazarlo, el disco se quedó adentro y el SP-808 empezó a leer el disco. Que pasó, una capa del lector estaba rota y por eso el disco no se quedó adentro. Utilicé loctite para poner todo en su sitio y ahora funciona. A ver si tu también puedes esforzar el disco quedarse adentro. Salu2!

      Daniel Featherstone What do you mean? To choose between? This one or the 404?
      Well...both are samplers but with a totally different workflow.
      I had the SP404A but couldn’t work with it. But on YT I see people doing incredible stuff with it.
      I’m more old school, I guess...😅
