Nowadays, I use SPs like a DAW. 3 hours of sampling time is alot to play with, so I use the polyphony as tracks. 8 polyphony is 8 DAW tracks in my world now. I even record verses to a pad. I kick myself for buying so much shit when a single SP can do it all. Still, can't have enough SPs though
how did the MV lead to that change for you?
Late reply, but thread was old.
The MV is a DAW/sampler/synth in physical form to what you have in software today. Everything is there but the recording felt like sampling because I was chopping up my own tracks and rearranging them and I thought "Shit! I can do this in any sampler with resampling and copy and paste features!" Then for one track I connected the preamp and mic to the 606 and recorded (actually sampled) a verse and sync'd and chopped it up to beats. Then I made an album within the MPC500 only as well and I will continue this tradition of samplers and albums.
I've only had this guy for like, two days, and I can't stay away. I've run my synths through the effects processor, I've been sampling all sorts of shit like my gameboy and earlier I took it to the library to brainstorm and start looping for an arrangement. 10/10 I dig this thing.
SP202. To give them grit and warmth to what’s sampled. I don’t have a memory card so I pretty much have to back it up to an Akai S20 to downgrade it further.
SP505. Kinda my mini Daw. Just a sketch pad for ideas, but it’s also a great fx box.
SP404og It’s my go to unit for making long loops go glitchy. Love to let it capture something I made on a synth & just sound like it’s gonna break down. Don’t really do much beat making on it though. I’m not that much of a finger drummer.
