Chromatic sampling is so addictive!

- In this video I explore the odd and wonderful MicroSampler sampling keyboard from Korg. This keyboard which is basically a simplified Ableton Simpler in a box enables you to sample and with one button press put the sample chromatically over the keyboard! It has a lot of built-in effects and even a sequencer. Time stamps below!

this is a sneaky fun piece of gear, if you're cool with quick and dirty getting right down to creativity and not powerful editing, it's rad
Right! Quick and dirty for sure
This is a fantastic video - thanks for sharing these tricks
You’re welcome!
Love my Korg MS1!
Subbed for more.
I kinda always wanted one of these
I got a yamaha djx which does something "simpler"/similar, and i don't use it often enough. If i really want to sample an instrument, i use the mpc one.
Are you able to turn the input volume knob up or down (if thats a thing) while recording a sample in order to make the click go away? Also, would you do a video sampling in drums and using the sequencer to make a rhythm?
I have to check if that works.. thanks for the video idea, let’s see 😉
@@klankenkabaal Been curious about getting one myself. Clicks arent a huge deal, but if a manual fade in/out works that would be neat
Pretty wild that you can get a Korg DSS-1 for way cheaper and it’ll give you control of most any parameter you might want, analog filter (digitally controlled), great sounding dual delay lines, and a whole lot more. Granted you need to have the space, but seems like a no-brainer if you do
Haven’t used that one, looks nice though
i dont think you can get it cheaper than microsampler. Used Microsampler are now somewhere between 300-350 us dollars. and the storage its totally different - 256k in dss1 vs 180mb in microsampler. That's a huuuge difference.
@@keyhoarder You don’t have to take my word for it. Look on Reverb. The cheapest Microsampler rn is $275. There’s a DSS-1 on there for $165. That’s cheaper. I got one for $175 a few months ago that has 2MB of RAM and a Gotek drive for storage. Yes there is a huge difference between 2MB and 180MB still but a samplers value (monetary or practical) isn’t determined by amount of RAM. Look at the MPC60, SP1200, etc- these are universally accepted as two of the best samplers ever made and have hardly any sample time. I maxed out the RAM in my 60 recently at 1.5MB, so *less* than the DSS-1 but worth literally 10 times more.
My point was that the DSS-1 can be had cheaper and is much more powerful. Both of which seem to be true currently 🤷🏻♂️
the tick in the cross fades can be eliminated if looped properly.
Indeed, gotta loop at a zero point crossing ✊☺️
Just recently got an OP-1 and the sample trimming has this feature where you can also adjust the loop points and it makes it so much more pleasant for sampling chromatically on the synth engine.
Right, however it’s tricky to get the loop right since you have to manually adjust it and there’s no waveform display, good point though!
@@klankenkabaal if you have an ipad or sp404 to connect in front so you can sample more accurately then send that to the microsampler…. I have not used the microsampler a lot cuz I hate the dials and display. I also replaced the washing machine knobs for proper big nice knobs.
Good one! Agree on the knobs, they’re quirky for sure
Can you save a bank of samples onto it?
There are 8 banks with 36 sample slots, and each bank can hold up to 160 seconds
