how many old school samplers are in that machine? or you just chop? and where do you get all sounds from?. want to buy this machine
i think these things are hard to find nowadays in my opinion get a mpc
Damn, did are those plastic pads??
very nice video man..
for sure.
haha the tune turned out really good too
dude I’ve been hanging around in the underground and 21 trains passed and no-one handed me a roland sp 1200. Am I at the right station?
i agree 100% with you
Scorpion King, you shoul get an MPC2500
The MPC is a badass machine, but it really pales in comparison to the sound of an SP. Nothing really can get that “tone” of a dedicated 12 bit sampler. If you just dig the drum sounds the YAMAHA RX8 is a 12 bit drum machine that can still be had for hardly any money. I have both the SP1200 and the Yamaha RX8 and I use them almost exclusively when making urban electronic music. The AKAI is really a great machine, probably the best out there today, but I’m not giving my old stuff up for anything.
Thanks for a great vid. Keep the old stuff out there. Limitations make for really great music.
two of the best pieces of equpitment I’ve ever owned is the Sp1200 and the ensoniq ASR 10. nothing but Gritty , Thick, warm sounding sampling! I work with reason 4.0 mostly now… but, I still give props to the old school gear!
now thats a dirty beat right there.
Nice introduction, gives a good look into the SP1200
thats sum solid shit you done there…wouldve like to see the finishin product…real hip hop shit.
its the 12 bit sound. gives it that grime.
just resample ur drums in the mp to a 12 bit sound
so how do you save a beat ? like if you have tweaked the shit out of the horns?
How many bits is the mpc?
seems to be a nice machine but who the fuck made these “pads”? those are buttons thats a joke
That machine came out in ’87, that’s what pads on drum machines were like at the time.
hey how do u get those
My thoughts exactly.
You don’t know shit about the sp1200 do you?
What’s the MIDI integration like? Is it an either-or thing when using the internal sequencer? For example, at the same time can you do both A) trigger programmed drum patterns via midi, while B) playing a sound in multi-pitch from a controller keyboard?
great! big props from dj vinch
That beat is still hard!!!! I need to get myself an Emu-sp1200
