    Ay son! This is why the SP is the greatest sampling instrument of all time. It's so easy to use and sounds amazing. And most of all it's fun.

      I dunno if I discovered this by accident trying to emulate the SP to the best of my ability on the MPC 2000XL but all I would do was resample my main sample to 12 or 8 bit and just mess with the frequency. Definitely sounded like I was messing with an SP

    All samplers are digital, that's in their nature. The SP sounds different because the sample and bitrates are low. You could probably make the case for the AD/DA converters colouring the sound in a certain way - but it's not magic; just soundwaves being manipulated in different ways (of which there are endless).

      Thank you. This "warmth of analog" junk is hilarious. The SP1200 sounds the way it does because it's a 12-bit DIGITAL sampler that uses older AD/DA converters. You can't even sample in analog. That shit cracks me up. I have reproduced the sound of the SP1200 using FL Studio & Serato Studio. Using the proper filters & being a producer or engineer that knows what they are doing can recreate the sound of any old sampler. PERIOD.

    Bottom line, we are the fans of a analog, old heads. But the fans only care about the end products. They wouldn’t care analog, digital, hitting spoons on trash cans, as long as it creates a feeling, they vibing. all us old heads care to much about that past sound quality. If the fans say they want analog, then we can talk. All the fans want is food with salt and pepper. All that extra stuff will have you in the lab a year with nothing to stream but conversation.

    I love Sp1200 but it's funny how he called it an analog device "better than digital" when SP has one of the most digital sounding devices, it's famous for its "ring" which is a result of the low bitrate digital processing and quirks in its chips.

I had to figure out what side to put the Side A & B on by ear, 7 months before the LP came out... With Finnese & A.G. going back & forth on some real Monster Truck BX sh!#*, I wonder if Slo Mo told him He was the best He heard in the studio at that time too? He also told me to run out the building once I get down stairs because the MF's from Wild Pitch would try to sign me & give me the same foul azz contract they gave everybody else at the time... 😜😂😜 Ha hahahaaaaaa...

      Capacitors, transistors, resistors are analogue components which is what these machines were made with. Open one up and have a look. The final processing may be on a chip but with these circuits you can push the levels and the sound in a way that you can’t with modern digital machines. They also have their own character.

This doesn't define a sound my guy everything is digital and you have no idea wtf your talking about at all. Any stand alone machine equals to the stand alone for that era but basic components to a machine doesn't dictate sound. Actually the transistors and capacitors are bigger and have probably already been changed because of the caps swelling years ago, so they would still be newer capacitors resistors and transistors.

      Hip-Hop mentality is not simply about dropping beats, it is a culture, it has roots so if you just want to make beats, I can't guarantee you that a sampler will give you any benefits
      But if you are in a real Hip-Hop thing you'll gotta learn about the classic workflows, not only modern emulations ! And it will benefit you overall, since Hip-Hop is a whole culture. I'm the type who would say that even learning breakdance would improve your sound !
