r/Samplers

Am inexperienced with physical drum machines/samplers, but recently got a KO2 and am having a blast. I'm curious what the easiest way to do the following is:

1. record and loop electric guitar parts, ideally in sync with the sampler

2. export guitar parts to Ableton for serious songs; I'm already pretty happy with how the KO2 can do this

I still plan on doing most serious editing in Ableton, so this would be for creativity and practice primarily.

Thanks for any help!

Hello everyone
I am trying to get into music making more so as a hobby and stumbled upon samplers and it looks like everything i want. The only thing is it looks really complicated, and i have no prior experience in music or theory except for playing the drums for a bit. What i saw online is that the roland p6 is pretty cheap for its capabilities? correct me if im wrong. My question is how REALISTIC is it for someone without experience of anything to buy and learn to work with this instrument, considering i have a lot of time to work on it (vacation)? Thanks in advance and please, ANY advice can help!

I've just released my first P6 beat tape.

Four tracks of raw instrumental hip-hop made on the Roland P-6.

I thought some of you might enjoy seeing a longer P6 performance.

Feedback is always welcome.

Another rather calm beat I would say. As always: Please let me know if yall like it and leave perhaps Feedback, I appreciate it. Thank you

Considering it because I only use the MPC for playing loops on individual tracks then use track mute to bring the layers in and out. No plug-ins, no playing on the pads, no midi-controlled external instruments. Some basic FX.

Problem with the MPC is I need to load up one song (project) at a time and there’s a 15 second gap between songs while it loads up. Sound like the BlackBox II streaming feature could allow me to load up a hundred or so samples into one project and group them into songs (tracks/scenes?)

One day i was remaking a random tyler song/beat but i didn't have/know where to get them, so i made my own file full of sounds, i used (lalala ai) to extract the drums from the music. they sound really shit but it works and its great (INCLUDED DRUMS: TAMALE, RADICALS, SANDWITCHES, BUFFALO, SMUCKERS, DICKS -LOITER SQUAD, SAM (is dead), TOILET MILK/ASSKMILK 2 -WOLF 2010, TRANSYLVANIA, WOLFSWAG)

In this video I use a set of 303 bass sounds (sampled from my 303) all on the same pitch but with different settings, then process each one with FX focused on stereo width and tone, and sequence them on the SP-404MKII to get an acid-style line that’s way more varied and interesting, even over short loops.

It’s a simple but amazing trick to bring your grooves

to life.

Enjoy!

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. For the past few weeks I’ve been watching and reading a lot of tutorials on how to work with various different samplers (Mostly Roland SP family), so now that I am interested enough and have my spare 300€ what should I buy from your experience or knowledge? By storming many sites with used electronics I understood that in my budget there is not much to choose from: Roland SP404 OG/SXA and also I have found a very mint condition SP808Ex, but there is also one samplers that fits in my budget and it is much more modern, I’m talking about Teenage Engineering ep133 KO. So what I get?
Big thanks in advance to whoever reads and responds to this
I want to make something in the style of flying lotus/FlyLo FM, if that information is necessary.

For me personally thid might be the most favourite beat ive created. But Id like to know what yall think. Something i could add or fix? I appreciate evey comment.

Beat 1 or Beat 2 the best ?!?!

For the MPC & SP-404MKII people out there, is there any technical difference in audio quality when sampling via USB-C or Stereo inputs? What are they? Which do you use and why?
