Emu sp1200 and house

i think this is the perfect machine to do simple groove house... something related to the first period of house...
then of course u need to add synth or pass all the groove into a sequencer and bring all to an upper level... here is the groove... let's see what will come out...



sorry for the audio quality

I am starting to think that these machines are being overhyped nowadays. I have hardware samplers and there is a certain something in the sound but once you use something like Kontakt, the ease of use and flexibility far exceeds any benefits that hardware has to offer. Combine this with 12bit libraries like Goldbaby 808 and MPC etc, and there is little reason to go hunting for this sort of kit. I don't like messing with floppy, zip, scsi or working with a small screen either.

I love the SP 1200!!

I had to sell mine because most of the buttons were about to die and I couldn´t pay the repair...

The funny thing was that I had a MPC60mk1 with all the upgrades before and tried to sell it again, because I decided to stay with my 4000, but nobody wanted to buy the 60!

Then someday I found a guy who traded the SP 1200 with the bad buttons for my 60,

and I got hundreds of requests from people who wanted to buy it immediately.

@VincentsVideoVisions well said mate, i feel tired and lethargic trying to write trax on a computer, it's whatever works for you

@VincentsVideoVisions Hi, I have two hardware samplers, a Roland S750 and Akai S5000, both technically and sonically great, I've also had a Casio FZ1, Akai S950, Roland DJ70 plus a few classic drum machines. I keep the hardware samplers because they look good and the sound is nice but even though I'm connecting them with scsi it is a PIA compared to software. The Akai even has usb which is cool but I've hardly touched them sadly. I will keep them though as they are classic.

@maccagrabme You're always trolling hardware videos, which makes me think you're jealous or something. I will admit that computer software like Kontakt is very powerful and easy to use, but what it comes down to is what inspires people to actually make music. Sitting in front of a computer screen is hella boring, but if it works for you, great. That means there's less people out there buying gear. More for me.

[francaisemusique]

how do you convert sounds onto a floppy disk from say another synth onto this machine ?

@Jazzybreaks i find the SU700 to be very sp1200 like in it's design and work flow.

[d3mrp0]

not bad!

[triggerhappytube]

where do you got this chords samples from? love this kind of deep sounds!

[squeakyfromme69]

nice!

[elijahmomomo]

possible, it should go to Google and type "hxc emulator" then order the emulator and settle in machines compatible. otherwise he must go on "audiofanzine.fr" the blog explains everything but everything is in French. peace

@rayss02815 I'm not knocking the historical importance or sound, I love that. What I am saying is that today's sound libraries and software can do 95% of what these machines can do and its so much easier. How many times are you going to sample an 808 or 909 when you can just pickup the Goldbaby library that has already been put through one of these samplers? I have hardware classic samplers but their days are numbered and they are collecting dust. Look at Ebay for proof.
