This was my first sampler I ever bought, back in 95 if I recall right. Strange to see it again after all these years. I didn't use this thing to it's full potential but I had a good time with it. Great to see Marlow Diggs doing a review of this.👍

You made it sound great!

Great bit of kit. 😊🔥👊🏾

It sounds fantastic

that’s dope ! 👏

worked with this back in -2k - mostly tape introes still got it DJ's dream

A big strength of the JS-30 is the ability to tape save everything onto another sampler or DAW. And it can play back samples polyphonically, for chords and stuff.

This was DJ Paul's go to sampler. Years of hit making underground and commercial. I love digging through those old tapes for legacy tracks. I'm surprised noones made a 3-6 iceberg video by now. Peace!

Also my first sampler my mom purchased this for me wish I still had it I didn't get the full use of it but just for basic sampling it was awesome

Had one of these in around 2000, was my first sampler. just before the 2000xl came out. I just used to loop beats and pitch them down, couldn’t do much else at the time. No KZread in those days had to read the manual, same way I learnt the 2000xl. You should get a eps16 plus, they’re amazing lots of options for changing the quality of the samples, I think it’s the perfect sampler for exploring crushing samples and getting really nice artefacts

Nice to see another js-30 video. Not many good videos out there on the js-30. It was my first peice of gear. Bought it back in 2000 and it didn't come with a manual. Hopefully you release some more videos on it in the future. If you haven't read the manual I recommend that you do. Performances can be assigned to a pad so you can play it that way instead of having to press play.

Old Roland gear give me nostalgia. Thanks man. I used a Roland W30 for a while in maybe late 90 & 91. Loved the sound of the sampler, but the sequencer made no sense for Hip Hop. Actually, it just made no sense at all on that tiny display. I seem to remember Dream Warriors used to record their verses onto a Roland rack sampler at 22khz. Early “tapeless” music production!

Some tips to make your videos nicer to watch: a bit more lighting would be nice and it would be nice if you won't use jumpcuts every few words. Maybe practice what you want to say a few times so you don't have to edit everything out. I have a really hard time watching this video, although the subject, this sampler, really interests me. I hope my tips can help you make the videos nicer so even more people love them.

@@IanJamesBeats Yes, these machines are specialized computers. Yet, they often use long-lost source code and no longer made converter chips. The sound is much more than the software or even the converter chips. The analog implementations of the older chips and the sometimes analog filters are much of the sound, which software can't get next to. People want to fantasize that easier-to-use and less expensive software can duplicate what hardware can do, but that's plain silly.

That's a debate. Some people say that and of course memory expansion only expandes memory but from what the manual says and what I see in the screen on the actual machine is that it is in 8bit. Idk but I stick to what I see saying on the screen on the sampler 8bit.

three of you made youtube videos. Prices doubled in half a year.

from what I heard from the video it isn't an original classic. cause it just sounds weak like when you go and edit your sound to sound worst to make it older , but classics just have their own sound that you can't imitate it at all for that electricity thing

It’s native 16-bit. It’s not a true 8-bit sampler.
