I always found it funny that a high school kid had like a $10,000 sampler in his bedroom. Bueller had bread like that, I guess. 😂

My trick for sample time was it digital mixer. That is sp12 had a lot of tricks up its sleeve. You turned it off it is still had memory without the floppy disk. The lithium battery to last about five years. You also could save sounds of sequences on cassette tape or disc drive if need be. You could also swap out the ROM sounds and have complete 32 sounds in the unit. Very versatile machine and easy-to-use. My point was tho about the digital mixer was that I was just empty out the samples and then go to the next track on the digital mixer and just sample again. You couldn't do that with the analog mixer. Unless you had tape. Track tape that is.

I did save to tape once but never again I thought it was a waste of tape just saved to floppy, I did use FSK to sync now and then.

Classic!

I know him too worked on a session for a girl on his old label he was there doing a verse.

SP-12 1.2 seconds of sample time SP-12 Turbo 5 seconds of sample time in two 2.5 second blocks. SP1200 four 2.5 second blocks!

Hey Doc, wasn't that bassline you let loose at 7:19 from tv? I seem to vaguely recall a depatment(Bloomingdales maybe) store commercial that used it, and also used for a tv network bumper for movies. Maybe channel 5 in NYC. Am I right?

Thanks, and that's just how I feel.

I had several SP12 Turbo's in early 90's, but when the MPC 60 MkII then later MPC 3000 I switched and never looked back...the stability, sample time and sequencer were simply too much.

I had 2 then sold one to get a 1200 most fun to run them with s950 back in the day.

@@SampleKingsVideos Yeah I used to run an S-950 sequenced by a TR 909 with my SP12 Turbo from drum duties. Then switched to an MPC 60 Mk2 with the 950. Then swapped out the above for a Roland S-750,760 then Emu E4xt along side an MPC 3000.

I wonder, What if the New MPC's give you everything, but rob you of the limitations you need to be creative ❔❓

My first sampler was an S950 with 12 seconds of memory. I did more with that than my current MPC Live with tons of memory and an SSD installed in it. The limitations of the S950 helped frame what was possible. The MPC Live has limitless options and a touch screen that makes me freeze and gives me a sore head!

SP1200 was awesome but the following year 1988 the MPC60 was released they work together well.
