I really need to get a dedicated sampler. Ive been cautious as I struggle to learn new tech, especially with drop down menus. Problem I have is I use plundertronics, vinyl, old cassettes, open reel, banks of pedals, its a lot of kit for a gig, especially if you're performing in another town, cant get a vehicle to the venue or park it. I could run an open reel backing track through a few delay pedals and have all the ambient drones, indusrtial sounds in a sampler. The beauty of old tape and vinyl is theres so much out there in junk emporiums, spoken word, sound effects as well as music. You never know what ypu'll get on each recording, and it usually has inbuilt, genuine lo-fi, down to the condition, original recording techniques and condition/quality of playback device. You can create genuine flanging and also make loops. Its hands on heaven. Until you run out of the necessary storage space lol.

sick, love the innovation!

Outstanding technique.

omg love this, good work man🫡

This was fantastic!!

great lofi, creative and cool thx for sharing

Beautiful!! Great work man! Big love and new sub from Argentina 🙏🏾😊

Absolutely beautiful! Been thinking of grabbing an SP404MKII and cassette player & writer for a while and using it in this way opens me up to a lot more opportunities, cheers man! Defo sold on this idea.

Thank you! I highly recommend it. It's a great machine and actually really easy to use. If you do get one I hope it serves you well!

Try koala sampler first

Very rad.

And now I’m calling my parents to see if they still have old cassettes laying around somewhere. Look what you’ve done!

That is a cool technique. I do the same with my SoftPop2.

this is so sick

Glad you dig it dude :) I knew this would be up your alley!

Awesome man this is great. Im finally using my 404 mk2 as an all in one versus just an effects box, ive been doing everything with my mpc live 2 for a while now but i just loaded all my samples, chops, and random sample packs to the mk2 from my live.

Thank you so much! Yeah, it's such a workhorse and can do so much. Being able to utilize all it's live power is a great move. Best of luck with your performances!

Great exercise. Now regret throwing out all my old tapes years ago...

If it weren't for finding all my tapes by accident I wouldn't have any myself! I just got real lucky!

Cool stuff man! i have been recording old horror and scifi movies from KZread using a screen recorder program.

I was sure you were a vampire until I got a good look at your left hand and realized no, you're a guitarist... or half vampire.

We prefer the term "day walker" actually. Or "guitarist" your pick ;)

Awesome! What cables do you need to hook this up to the MK2??

A simple aux to stereo cable should do just fine!

What is the storage situation on the SP404?? Can it store complete tracks?

@NikBartunek

10 ай бұрын

It's got 16gb of onboard storage, but you can also load up an external SD card as well. It can definitely store entire tracks. I've seen it used live in this way to simply trigger entire songs while the musicians sings on top or performs with an instrument.

@@NikBartunek cool thanks for the info

hey, what's the name of that cassette player?

@NikBartunek

The brand is listed as Rybozen, but you can find all kinds of similar if not comparable cassette players on Amazon. I tried to find one that wasn't too expensive at had a decent rating. Good luck if you take the plunge!

Very nice. BTW it's not the "Fidelio Overture" it's the "overture" (the opening piece) from the opera "Fidelio".

@RichardMcRichard

Yes, so it's the Fidelio overture, Op. 72. That is what it's called. Just like his Coriolan overture, just like Wagner's Faust overture, just like Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Fantasy overture. What do you think it's called? 😂

Hes a guitar player, notice the other hand has short nails.

Christ.

you need to use a better quality cassette like a sony pro come on ?

Wolfgang Voigt of Gas (Kompakt Records, Cologne, Germany) did this 30 years ago and many artist before him in the 60's. You didn't make this technique up guy.

Credit where credit is due! Good to know! Definitely didn't mean to imply I invented this technique; this was merely to show how I create these pads for my live sets. Thanks for clarifying!
