Multi Sampling synths in Akai S-3200XL / S3000XL / S3000 Part 2

It might take a while but ok lol I’ll try to do something on those lines
and sequence it with the MPC. This will no doubt make you happy but my
first adventures into MIDI and synths was using an Atari 1040st runing
Cubase back in 97/98 lol Thats what my school music departament had untill
they upgraded to pc’s with logic audio..The DX-100 they had (Bass for
Orbital’s chime) I nicked it and the rest is history lol

Here is a video I made on how to make a drum kit on the Akai S5000, my
first tutorial video. Cheers and long live old school hardware.

Heres a challenge for you. How about making a little demo tune just on the
3200XL. Nothing else allowed. Only Samples you make and built in FX,
filters etc. (Of course you can sample FX/Filter sweeps like you did in the
good old days) You up for it? Not bothered if the tune is great or not.
Just more into hearing a tune done exclusively on the Akai S3200XL for
nostalgic reasons. Go on fella, make this old school hardware nut from back
in the day who hates all this software crap happy 🙂

When setting envelopes at multi-sampling it’s a good idea to use Edit mode
“All”. Remember to turn it back to “One” in the SMPL screen though, or it
will mess up your individual Keygroup settings 🙂

Great tutorials mate!!!ya one in a mill..literally. im in my 20s and i rock
the s3000xl and mpc 2000..its a sick combo.. you shud do a tutorial about
using the s3000xl or s3200xl to sample and create programs and using the
mpc to sequence.. .. .help the kids out all they know is fruity loops these
days.

Yeah man George is still going but he moved out of the UK few years
back..but then no surprize really. Yeah when I got into making music people
still did it this way so this is what i’m used to. My first synth was that
DX-100, a Korg ER1 drum machine, Bass Station keyboard and a bastardised
tape machine that I ripped the erase head from so you could endlesly over
dub…crude but fun

Nightmares on Wax?? Are they still going. Used to have a huge rave tune
back in the day called aftermath. Think that was just before the S3000’s
days. I used to love home studios. Mixing desks and racks of equipment.
DAWs just dont excite me the same way. I feel getting exited about what you
do when creating anything from a painting to music (whatever the genre) is
a key element to achieving your best. Just noticed, your quite young to be
doing all this “the real” way. Good stuff 🙂
