Dude, you inspired me to buy one of these things. I'm currently trying to figure out how to work it. I have one question. How did you apply the delay to the horns? The delay on this thing supposedly only works on all sounds/parts in the pattern and not individual sounds/parts.

@wallen72 It is not delay, it is just the horn sample sequenced like delay. I used "Motion sequence" with trigger hold. Check out my "T.R.O.Y" remake on ES-1 also.

I'm an ol' skool hip-hopper and I'm no ways offended by this version of the instrumental....I view it as a rock guitarist covering Hendrix or Clapton songs and believe you me...you not only opened up a can of whoop ass on haters...but you've ushered in a new era...to keep it classic so to speak haha lol.

@ruffdraft07 Thank you for your comment. I think it is a great way to learn how to use samplers. (In fact, I cannot think of better ways to learn.)

@MrHotthandz YouTube critics (AKA trolls) have been really hard on me these days... At least I am making something, instead of spreading negativity. Plus, I've been uploading original beats lately though. BTW, I am NOT going stop remaking classics (because it is fun!)

i was just peepin videos....good work and dope video!!!!

[LatigidGolana]

Nicely done! What haters do not realize about sampling, is it inspires one to find the original record or song of the artist which brings attention from new blood to that classic group. Without modern sampling, generation to generation people would lose intrest. Sampling helps keep classic music alive by breathing in it new life and attracting a new generation with each rearranged hit...Again great job!

No doubt, unlike any trolls (or fuckheads as I prefer to call them....they'd be fuckheads on the street - I see no need to call it any other way when they sit on they ass at home being offensive and cowardly to strangers at a safe distance - pussies -instead of getting their ass to a gym), I've been heavily into Hip Hop for over 20 years and have a profound respect for it.

This is immense!!! Well done dude! ;D
