Basic sampling the mpc60 takes me about 3-10 seconds per, and the s950 takes me 5-20 seconds per sample (since there is the extra "program" step in the S series) pretty darn quick I must say.īUT, there is still something I haven't done yet, am brainstorming and figuring out how to do - Sampling/recording/resampling LIVE while the mpc60 sequencer is playing and also midi-playing all my other synths, and/or Multitracking or looping live elements while the mpc60 is playing (rhodes, Vox, acapellas, clavinet, non-midi synth, mic'd percussions or aucoustic instruments, etc., etc). Sometimes I can punch in the numbers/dials without even looking at every menu screen. I've gotten so quick at sampling this way it almost becomes subconscious. Whenever I need to put some samples into the mpc60 or s950, I just use my laptop as a piece of hardware/tape player/turntable/etc - open it up in Audacity, trim/chop it, and just plug in the outs of my Firebox into the inputs of my mpc60/s950 and sample away. Then archive the tape into laptop, through Firebox and into Audacity.įor my typical sample workflow, I just have a bunch of samples in my MBP, boths drums, fx and also from my vinyl collection which I archived into digital into the mbp. Started with all hardware and plan to keep it this way. I've aways wondered others' workflow with limited old samplers, and also if that's their only option being 100% hardware/otb. I'd love to have Silent Way or Volta to sequence the analogs in real time, but for now sampling/realtime playing will do. How are you using your hardware sampler in conjunction with your analogue gear and what have you found to get the best results? Of course I'll be continuing to experiment and see what works best for me, but curious to see what others are using a similar setup and how you go about constructing your tracks. I've struggled to get chicken systems working. There are 2 solutions for this that I can see, use Chicken Systems or just record the out from the DAW through the Rosetta and into the ASR. Gotten really great results with sampled Drums completely ITB but would love to have them in the ASR and get em tight together by recording through the signal chain above. I use ableton for some midi sequencing, tracking/arranging and various VST plugs for FX and some subtractive EQ. I've been lucky in being able to acquire a mostly hardware setup now featuring: Hey ya'll, been making electronic music for 10+ yrs and until the past few was mainly ITB.
