@@stekker1 This is actually huge. Essentially it's not really an emulation at all then right? Except for what I would assume some Amiga filter or DAC emulation?
@@atetraxx no exactly it's not meant to be a 1:1 emulator but just as close as possible :) there is some DAC going on but the stuff like samplerate actually changes the sample itself its not an audio FX applied to clean sample like a fake thing ( which most suposed sampler plugins do )
wow! amazing video! was so much fun programming this over the past 2 months 😁. Seeing everyone’s lovely words in the comments is crazy to see ❤️. thank you all for enjoying the Amigo. big love
This is one of the best VSTs! I've been looking for something like that for years. To simulate that AMIGA crunchiness in DAWs I had to sample from ProTracker and even then it didn't work properly. You and Stekker are original badman!
@@fartbox8956 Redux has been around for years. This plugin is trash. Slicex is superior in everything. Plus it’s not a gay trap, what straight man wants to buy and Amigo Plug in? That’s the most homosexual shit I have ever heard. You homos need to get your attitude checked.
Urban Shakedown - Some Justice & Early Omni Trio vibes. My mate had the sampler for his Amiga back in the early 90s. He made some tunes and older lads played them at a club. We put a tape together with Amiga tunes and then halfway through I recorded a childrens record "All Aboard". The tears of laughter when "My Boomerang Wont come Back" kicked in over the system and everyone stopped dancing looking around confused. You know the score 😂
very true, and something extremely overlooked. lot of people go into autopilot mode when using tools like this (this is how you chop a break, this is how you process a chord, etc...) - but experimenting, screwing with settings, going outside typical production "conventions" is how new things are discovered and you end up with something unique in a track
This is PURE nostalgia. I suddenly feel transported back to the very first raves back in the 80's. Only this plugin is SO much easier to find than the warehouses and fields they were held in! Thank you so much for uploading this!
I still have my Amiga 1200 and haven’t switched it on for so long it probably won’t ever start again (I fitted a hard drive in it!). Hearing the crunch of the sample really reminded me of a (very!) long time ago. I go all the way back to zx spectrums, bbc micro etc. This plugin is going straight in my studio! Who’d have thought just how powerful computers would be when we were back in the 70s(!!!). Even then, the stuff was way better than using paper cards to store programs on :D
i LOVE this, used to make amiga and fasttracker tracks back in the day. timestretch, chord memory, this is the first vst i’ve seen in a long time that feels like it was made by actual electronic musicians who know their history
ableton redux or just any other good bitcrusher does a similar thing with the sound. i work in ableton and even some of the stretching modes sound similar if you tweak them a bit. then if you need you make the sound mono and yeah. although sound may be similar the feeling of having a separate plugin to do all this seems cool
I love this thing, made working with samples in a DAW so much more fun. Please make a tutorial on how to make 90s breakbeat rave/hardcore, Amigo Sampler is so perfect for that genre :)
Blown away by how good this is for just 13 bucks. Really quick and fun to use and fantastic sound! Could get the same results through other means but it wouldn't be anywhere near as fast or as musical. Having the "Akaizer" built in it's a game changer for me. And a fun chord memory mode built in?? 10/10 full stop.
This looks super cool and came out just in time for me to make my Autechre-inspired techno and ambient album...I even got a Realistic Concertmate-500 (the Radioshack reskin of the Casio Sk-1) to do it!
Bought this at the weekend, and have enjoyed it a lot - it does everything I hoped. I do have my old Amiga (and software) in my loft, but I can't see it ever being used again, so this plugin was a great option for me. It sounds great!
This is great, as an amateur bedroom producer who had a secondhand S950 and an old MSQ700 trying to make rave music in the 90's recording onto my stereo VCR not doing that great at it, only wished I had known about making this music on Amiga's with trackers and samplers as I guess that is how many did it back then, still would love to try this out.
I had an Amiga a bought a sound interface for it. I overloaded it the first week. My dads mate who designed electronics for weapons technology fixed it and added overload protection. Still miss that crunchy percussion.
To clarify the slight puzzlement to the why there would be an "Akai" timestretch. It wasn't just Akai's that did this and was why everyone making hardcore/jungle back then had a copy of AudioMaster IV for their Amiga. If Amigo emulates the way Audio Master IV timestretches, I'd say that's a major deal for the emulation of the "Amiga sound".
the stretch on Amigo Sampler is akai style :) but you are correct how most amiga sampling softwares had a form of stretch effect too! or how u can kind of "fake" a stretch on trackers using the sample start offset command
@@stekker1Fair enough, the OctaMED fake tracker stretch wasn't that good imo. AudioMaster IV timestretch can be heard on quite a few tracks by Aphrodite & Bizzy B btw, I'm also pretty sure it's used for DJ Taktix - The Way. it's easy to confuse with the Akai one as they both sound similar for the most part being that it was such early days for that sort of thing, but there's that extra crunch to the AudioMaster IV one.
My 8bit ad box was so noisy i used it as a noise generator in combination with an eq and reverb delay on the mixer for some wicked 90tees stoner sessions😂
TAL-Sampler is a big more feature packed overall, really emulating a larger breadth of sampler technology and workflow from the 90s. Amigo is much more lightweight (not a bad thing) Example: TAL-Sampler lets you map samples across your keyboard manually and provides extensive controls / options around the keygrouping process. Amigo automatically maps things starting at C3 and you cant control that. Both are amazing tools & it's worth having the two in your toolbox, imo
Dope video for a cool AF looking sampler VST. Can the reverse function be automated and does it function like tape or vinyl reversing at current play position (like a spin back effect or scratching like Renoise can)?
@@Thought-Forms For real! The whole tracker experience and amiga experience as a whole has been a blast. Big up ya chest tho. Defo gonna get this man. Love to see the old school jungle sound being made more accessible!
@@thegeforce6625 You know that!! Load of classics. Monkey island, lemmings.. Love the big boxes too!! Xbox dont even come with manuals these days hahah. Gotta get to my mates house soon cus hes got a micro in his attic for me! looking forward to playing elite on original hardware. big ups da floppy disk kruuuu
This is the plugin I live for. I have already purchased it.😊❤ Not only can it be used beautifully for some Amiga Jungle/Rave stuff, but it's also great for emulating that amazing "crispy" sound that's absolutely stunning for example in "Namco System 22" arcade games. An example for all: ruclips.net/video/OZvu3J4__KM/видео.htmlsi=jQrHUCs1g94bOHHi
Probably a really stupid question but… HOW DO I ACTUALLY USE IT??? I don’t like using the piano roll to play specific chops is there any other way to use it? I can’t figure it iut
I have this on a track in Reaper with a sample loaded in but I can't figure out how to trigger the sample on my macbook with no midi keyboard. It played the sample once and now I got nothing. Pressing play in Reaper does nothing, help!
Bought this today, great piece of kit, cant figure how to automate parameters in FL Studio though with this in the way i would with other vsts, anyone know please?

If Renoise didn’t, then I doubt this will.
@@Myexpectationsarerealistic renoise isn't a plugin bruh the effect is different.
@@fartbox8956 turn the interpolation off in the sampler and use the cheap timestretch in Renoise combined with Akaizer and you get similar results.

Just when I thought I don't any more plugins...

didn’t
Oh no, the correction police are after me
Fart into your mic, press record, stay safe.
You ALWAYS need more plugins 😁
As someone who has started of his music production obsession using octamed, this is definitely my cup of tea!

you just need a proper bit crusher and sample rate reducer mate, D16 Decimort is excellent for that type of sound
@@Mia1Goth been using ableton redux and haven’t really been happy with it. I’ll try out the Decimort plugin, thanks for the rec

That's so Flipping cool!
Great video mate, getting nostaligic❤
Will be making a lot of neo soul & boom bap with this.
gg
Can't wait to use this :)
🔥🔥
Funny, i just got back into using music trackers a few days ago. I love that crispy sampled sound!

this is so coooollll
this is awesome, sounds great on drums.

You're going to love it, such a solid tool at an insane price

love thiss im gonna get it!:)

LOL love it. I bet that Amiga was a weapon itself after that
@@Thought-Forms sound tracker and later octamed. Pro sound for editing then musicx when I got a midi keyboard

Pretty cool vst idea
Fantastic!

This the sexiest fucking VST I ever seen!!
Hello Amigo! Many thanks for sharing this!
ooooh shit the STREEEEEEEEETCH sold me... yeesh
awesome plugin! such a cool vibe
This is great! Just what he doctor ordered. Why do I have a felling that we will see Pete Cannon using this in the near future.
There's a short quote review on the VST website from him
ah that Amiga DAC sparkle!
Very Nice thanks !
Sweet
dude was having to much fun with the stretch
LOL had to cut a bunch of footage just messing around, got sucked in 😎
The aliasing gave me flashbacks :D
welp. guess i'm getting it!
Budget vst love it
fun :)

Check out Stekker's tunes. Rude Amiga junglism at it's finest!!!
damn, and for 13 dollars? instant cop, thanks for showing this off!
Need that
I notice a folder "Uncanny Dreams - Ambient Sample Pack 2", is that a pack that is coming?
🤫
Just bought it 😊
Thanks for video. I wish this plugin was standalone (TAL too), it's easier for DAWless jams with a computer
Could you use a vst host that is stand alone? Maybe the Bluecat stuff would work?
This is a brilliant idea!
Well done fella.
I still regret selling my S 1100 (for $300) 20 years ago. I have yet to find something that makes drums sound as good.
