The sound and groove of the SP1200 is great. But I hate the feel of it. All plastic and hard. Much like the MPC with the pads better

[TheSinghFIRE]

im kind of new to making music, but how would you put a drum break in time with the metronome would you have to chop it up. or do you have like a time stretch process?

[TheMembraine]

man thats old school

SP1200 4 Life...

[fortgreene31]

That was one of the first drum machine i bought, back in 95. I bought it brand new and sold it after a few months. Just didn't have the patient to learn it. Than years later i bought a classic triton 61 or 64 key. I had that for about a year and change and sold it. Now i work with all Propellerhead programs, Reason 5 and reason record 1.5. The kong drum machine sounds gritty and rugged like the sp1200. Trust me with some good speakers and interface mac computer it's over. Reason Rule. Peace

[glict]

I love the sound and groove of the SP1200 but god is it ugly and weird lookin hahaha

[henryvrgl]

For a minute, I thought I was buggin' out....but the sync is way off in respect with the audio to the video.

[tygaelement]

In your example all your sounds are triggered on the "one " which sound robotic.

Have you tried looping on the snare ? I always start & end the loop on the snare as its more accurate & less predictable on the ear as its harder to detect the joins..It will obviously depend on the sample but its better & sounds more natural especially if your triggering additional sounds.

you may have to mess about with your one shot triggering but its worth the effort.

sly stones got breaks 4 days

[ceetheproducer]

amazing set up! probably the greatist combo of all time, im lookin to get an sp n 950 just 1 question before i do kud i midi up the sp????????? kuz those buttons dont look so great to play, if not i will ruff it out tho.

@frankone702 fuck yeah, i started to get into his stuff around 14 years ago (?) but i had to wait until these last 2 or 3 years until i finally got to see him and it was so worth it! wish he'd tour out more often. ROCKETS ON THE BATTLEFIELDS, BITCHES!

[noezelaya7]

umm its alright. i wanna see how pete rock used to flip his joints on the sp

[clonekillerz]

Lol whenever I watch this guy or hear his voice I get angry! Mad nice setup though dunny

[sixthsense3]

pardon my lack of knowledge but can the s950 be used to make beats on its own? Im just curious cos i always see guys who have an s950 have a sp1200 as well, like thats the only way to use them? Is this the set up Large Pro used to use? I hear him mentioning the s950 some times. Anyway thanks for the cool video.

[unclegusyo]

From what I've gathered no. If I'm wrong please correct me on this, but you use the s950 to sample because it has a longer sampling time and nice filters and whatnot, but you need a sequencer of some sort to trigger these samples when making your beat. Hence the SP + 950 combo.

[drumatic]

the clicking during beat making drives me nuts sometimes... tap tap tap, click click click... we're working on inventing rubber SP1200 pads... we're working on it... ++ DRUMAT!C

[digitalcp01]

Its fantastic how incredibly cool music was done with only 8 voices of polyphony, makes me happy when i listen to it.

[pmsan29]

How much sampling time does the s-950 have?

[nptrock]

ya damn right son....

[illjin78]

SP 1200 and S950..Game over!

[azabee1]

Do you wanna marry me...& play with your TOYS?!

Please!

The loop is cool. Remember "Because I Got It Like That"? Classic Jungle Brothers track.

The sound of the vid is out of sync though. Can you fix that?
