For up-and-coming groovers!

The EG-101 NAMM demo, found it in the Perfect Circuit demo playlist.

I'm a fan of a specific early 200s Roland demo, trying to track it down now

Akai Dan is pretty legendary

I love akai dan

nd the engineering department got wind of the name and unironically liked it, so they used it.

According to the guy I knew, the whole series started as an in joke between product testers. They were trying to outdo eah other coming up with the worst possible product names and nobody could top Thythm Wolf (I think it was that one, maybe it was Timre Wolf but I' pretty sure it wasn't a pun, jsut ripping on the trend for giving gear and bands animal names back then)

even if I sample stuff on the MPC and then move it over to a computer it still has that sound, so I think it's probably at least as much to do with them cutting corners in the analog signal path compared to the 3000

love that timbre wolf

get more cheese than Doritos, Cheetos or Fritos

An old friend of mine was a product tester for Akai for the first half of the 2010s (the really bad, Rhythm Wolf years) and he heard that from one of the old engineers, but I have no real proof it's true.

I've used a few other late 90s/early 2000s Akai samplers that work at the same bit/sampling rate and they don't have the sound.

Nah, it's 16/44.1

anything you sample on it sounds like it's straight off the Madvillain album.

it's probably a lot of things tbh

i thought it was bitrate

Apparently the MPC2000 sound is a bug in the OS that makes the filter stay slightly resonanyt even when the resonance is all the way down.

I'm not finding any sample packs either, but I bet you could get away with samples aimed at, like, EBM or synthwave or maybe even dubstep, so that could at least widen your search.

it can add real cool grit to stuff

MPC2000xl is so cool

Nice. I've been using an Octatrack for a few years but I got an MPC2000xl for $100(!) quite a while ago from a producer who thought he had broken it trying to replace the data slider and didn't have time to get it fixed because he usually made 8 beats a day, so every day without an MPC he was losing potential income (plus it was in the early 2010s so an MPC2000xl was only worth about $400 to begin with) and that's still the brain fo my whole setup (but the Octatrack is the master clock because it really doesn't work well if it has to sync to something else)

i use a few elektron things, it's the brain of all of my other stuff

it's probably my desert island synth box

lol i live in atl

Nice. How do you like the Digitakt? A friend of mine has one but he moved to Atlanta before he got it and I'm in New England so I've never tried it.

i wanna see if i can perform a solo set on a digitakt without having to add extra gear

Let me poke around, now i'm curious

lol /shrug

Oh, OK

then maybe it would be easier to make them yourself and export them as audio

i'm looking specifically for bass synth samples

Do you mean, like, drum loops, or other stuff? If it's drum loops

I'm not familiar with midtempo as a genre, but expressing solidarity because I'm doing something similar but with shitty, early 2000s big beat right now.

don't wanna pay them

I've checked archive.org and google. through my searches i've found a lot of people shilling patches they made in serum but not much more.

i'm not a huge fan of the genre but i'm trying a proof of concept

do you have a source that i can download some midtempo samples?

weird question but i know some of you make electronic music

Yo

The only reason people download them is that they spent all their money on the original disks and carts and now they can't afford to buy backup devices. It makes perfect sense.

it's true i am very rich and have bought every multi hundred dollar gamecube game that i have on my pc

Everyone who downloads ROMs owns the original media anyway. They're just legitimate backup copies.

I would never illegally download anything. : )
