You assign them to the same Mute group on the S2K. And I'm not sure what you mean by your first question, but editing samples is a lot easier to do with a wav editor. Then you can just transfer them with MESA.

I was pitching the sample on the S2K...just using a knob on the RM1X to control the S2K's pitch.

And I could've got an MPC2K maybe...but that has no keygroups, so I couldn't have made this beat with it. If you didn't notice I use "multi-samples" in this vid, which the MPC2K cannot deal with. Plus, I try to stay away from cliches.

[Stray411]

Not really. The keys on the RM1X aren't velocity sensitive or very responsive and easy to break. Since they're used for other things, like track selection/muting, using something else as a controller is safer IMO.

Having a problem with comments on this vid.

Pugg...no, it comes with Reason Adapted, which is missing a lot of features.

And Awake303 wrote that the beat was boring. No need to apologize for having an opinion though.

i would have adjusted the tempo to match the sample, because you're sample is now most likely out of tune with A440. digitaly pitch-changing or shifting is destructive and can cause artifacts as does time-stretching, unless you use a high definition sample and shift or stretch it with a good algorithm, like "pitch n time" by serato. the higher definition you use to capture sounds (from an analog source) the more room you have to adjust pitch and time without artifacts

[Stray411]

Serato is a $700 program...this vid is about a budget set up.  And, in this case, the sample is in tune with A440...how do you think I was able to add a bassline?

Dope Beat, Bro! Thanks for the Vids. I'm subscribing.

well from that money u spend on the equip u can actually efford an mpc

[retroferret]

how do you get the samples on the s200 to cut each other off on the KP

[retroferret]

i have an s2000 and padkontrol and i cant figure out how to make it so when i play a sample and then another one in succesion the first sample stops playing.???

[retroferret]

can you edit samples waveform on the s2000 ?

[triplenippel123]

i dont really understand how u can stretch the tempo of the sample down from the rm1x , didnt used a s2000 tough but shouldnt that be done on the s2000 itself?

Nice job. I HATE hip hop music (I have to, I'm a Trance artist hehe), but I really enjoy your vids! Great work with the hardware, those things are so confusing.

I have done cool stuff with reason.

I now have more expensive gear (mpc 60,sp1200 etc,,) but it really doesnt matter what you use.

Some of my favorite techno (schranz) is done mostly with fruity loops (and most reggaeton is too btw)

anyways good stuff keep it up!!
