I STILL GOT MY GREY COVER SP1200 SINCE 1992 THAT SHIT STILL WORKING HOLLAAAA

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Damn that's real ,I've never seen one that broke unless the owner was careless.

[@XanderEwald]

Watching the old masters at work with their SP1200 always gives me goosebumps.

[@I_like_turtles_67]

That biggie I'm going back to Cali is a fire ass beat and I never realized it was done on a sp1200 s950 combo.

I ordered a sp12 a few days ago. Man im so excited

[@MOIRECREATIVEPARTNERS]

They need to make the E-MU story into a Netflix series. Ends with Pete making the beat for They Reminisce Over You.

Word!

[@jamesmock2109]

@@SampleKingsVideos do you need a turntable to use this machine or can you make beats just using floppy disks do the disks have melody or just drums

[@jasonwilliamson1396]

I sold my Sp12 in 2000 for 500$. Thought I made a great deal. I was wrong.

[@SampleKingsVideos]

I hear you Jason, it's amazing how older samplers have gone up in value.

[@Beamerverleih2012]

I bought 2 of them around 2002 for 600€ each and i thought it was pricey.. 😅

[@ashfaq1999]

I remember seeing them in music magazines here in the uk selling for about £500 back in in 1991. But the 909 was the drum machine that was in demand because of the techno rave & new dance music that was dominating the club scene.

I would love to see the SP1600 drawings based on the SP1200.

The day I saw the SP1200 at Sam Ash, I knew that it would take over Hip Hop

Nice series my dude.

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Bass_Levelz]

I didn’t realize how much I love the SP-1200 until recently. It’s literally the soundtrack of my childhood. I’m happy I picked up my ASR-10 this year but now I might possibly have a one more dream sampler to get one day.
I just don’t know how I feel about buying a drum machine that’s the price of a used car lol. I guess the RX-1200 #iphonik will do for now. It’s crunchy

[@SampleKingsVideos]

That is a hard decision.

[@rorz999]

Check out the Isla SP2400

[@HarryLoveTV]

I started out on an sp12 which came from Phil Collins/Genesis and had their own mods… I regretfully sold that after getting a 1200. glad to have never gotten rid of that one and recently got a rossum which, to my delight, is an incredible upgrade built all out of solid metal with much nicer components : pads and sliders are buttery then theres the double memory and filter controls. Its so true that emu really missed out on a huge load of sales. What a machine

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Right all they had to do was listen to Marco Alpert he was there man on the road selling gear he saw everything first hand.

[@jermaineinoue4919]

Seems like some of these American companies need to take notes from Roland . Rolonad diversified and made regular consumer products that kept them afloat, right ? They knew not to lean of one thing to keep them afloat, right ?

[@SampleKingsVideos]

EMU got brought out by Creative Labs and they are the ones who did not want the sp1200. It is kind of crazy that no one was doing research on the numbers or they didn't want to be associated with those Hip Hopper guys and there music......LOL.

1:28 Sorry, but there's no Fairlight CM1. It's CMI (Computer Musical Instrument). This is fairly basic knowledge - I can't believe you got it wrong.

[@SampleKingsVideos]

Yes, I read it wrong.

Project 2025 will bring back the SP1600. Believe.
