@alexriesenbeck well I like the sk-1 but they are overpriced right now because they are so popular with circuit benders, I want to bend one but I'm not paying 50 bucks to do it lol. I can get vss 30's cheap
i've had this ever since i was a little kid, but i never knew it could do all that!! We (my sisters & I) mostly just used it for stupid stuff, like sampling fart or burp sounds or 'scary' sounds. all these years i've been wanting a 'real' instrument, but i never realized that this thing was so great (until recently).
Does anyone know of a modern sampler or VST sampler that has a Reverse button similar in function to the VSS 30? (or button that is easily assignable via midi cc messages) See starting at 0:58 in the video. I have been searching for years for something that can do this but would also like the option of a higher bit rate, sample memory and other modern features.
I know the MicroSample has a reverse button but I am not sure if it behaves the same way as the VSS. Any info is much appreciated.
Can you imagine if Yamaha build something like that nowadays? Maybe with Midi (or USB Midi), the virtual filter section of the AN1x and an SD card storage function? That would be great! But what do we get? The MicroKorg...the MicroSampler...the MicroStation...all from Korg. Yamaha is sleeping! Please bring back the PortaSound series of keyboards! We don't want to step through several menus...we don't want anymore boring General Midi stuff...we want some small "WYSIWYG"-keyboards!
@sauermusicDE I really think someone could make a fortune if they used todays technology to create hybrid wysiwyg keyboards like these. If I had to stay just Yamaha, I would really want a VSS 30 + VSS 100 + VSS 200. If we could cross-breed the 4 sample banks of the SK 5 or SK 8, mix it with the VSS 30 effects, and have selectable live samples (with a manual switch, not software); I would be in heaven. Always thought of opening a SK and adding another memory chip/switch/battery.... THANKS dude!
This thing is my favorite. Out of all the samplers I own currently, this one tops the chart. Even it's bigger brother (VSS-200) doesn't compete with this little baby. Show me your stuff!
@alexriesenbeck yes, indeed, I also had the VSS-200 and the VSS-30 sounds much better and looks nicer. It sounds even better than a Casio SK-1 in my opinion. It also doesn't power off after 7 minutes.
this is so much better than that rat shit casio sk-1

@HarryCaseyKid I used a standard 1/8-inch male-to-male audio patch cable. It can be stereo or mono.
