Today I got my zoom sampletrak and I was able to make my first pattern thanks to this video. Thank you very much for the tutorial. Greetings from Argentina. Maradona's land.
2nd drumloop is that "I'm lookin at the front door" track ;) btw, you propably know this already, but you can also isolate drumhits way faster, by just letting it play and then hit "loop" the moment your prefered sample appears. same with the endpoint. To undo the start/end point just hit the currently edit pad again. peace n thx for the good tut!
Wow 2015?! It’s 2020 and I just cleaned off the dust in mine and ready to start makin Beats again! Thank You for going thru the steps to help me remember! Peace and Blessings, fam! Ray in RVA
Honor and respect to you King I really appreciate you taking the time to thoroughly explain this machine!☺ cuz of that I felt confident enough to purchase one hopefully I can acquire the same level of efficiency that you displayed in this tutorial! Bless...
Much Respect Dennis! It's a good machine that I think people are starting to recognize it's value! I'm glad you got something from this and after a while all this will be second nature to you! Please keep me posted on your progress would love to hear some of your work with the Sampletrak!
What's going on King I finally received my zoom sampletrak and my zoom R8 sampler the other accompanying equipment that I have is the zoom sb-246 Street box and the motif 6 I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate all these pieces of equipment to make different recordings than what I've usually done my usual MO is to layout of beat on the street box then layer it on the track machine one track at a time playing the beat than the bass than keys or whatever affects. how do I incorporate the sampletrak? Any advice?
@@denniscampbell9376 Wow! You got some good gear there! There are a couple of ways you could go about it. The first thing I'm curious about is what Daw are you using? The second question would be are you using an interface to record your gear. I ask because depending on how you are tracking it you could layer tracks starting with the drums for timing. If you were using an audio interface with midi you could sync your gear to the DAW and record like that. With that said the zooms midi has a History of not being the best. Let me know what you are working with for DAW and interface and get back to me. I'll help you the best I can.
I just scored one for $170 and in my country thats a great price, normally it would be about $250. (what a development compared to when you posted the video :) ). I cant tell you how thankful i´m. you did an outstanding job in explaining and entertaining me at the same time.
I keep coming back to this video because of the vibes. I like the hands on approach and it warms me up for another session with the sampletrak. Just bought some extra smartmediacards because they fill up fast. The effects are really great and although mine is really beatup and has only 1 original knob left i give it lot's of love.
I used to use a smart media card floppy reader and later a smart media USB port and transferred the files onto my desktop... the I can empty the card n start fresh
@@rnmultimedia7162 I have two workstations with a smart media drive. I just don't want any computer in my studio so having a couple of disks works out best.
dude! i have been wanting to learn to sample for ages. i had an eps and it was too complicated. i'm gonna just get one of these. you seriously convinced me to get one . i know it's not "proffessional" or what ever, but watching you do it so smoothly and hearing the results makes me want one
It can be as professional as you want it to be my friend. People make banger's with limited gear all the time! Why not do that with the sampletrak? To this day I'm still surprised why it's not as respected as the SP404!
I've had one of these for years and not used it much. I'm trying to get back into it and this video is *super* helpful. Thanks! Hope you make some more SampleTrak vids. This one was fun to watch.
This is a weird comment. Why would you assume beatmaking isn't for me based on not using a SampleTrak much? Seems super random. I like using the SampleTrak to chop dirty samples on to use on other gear, and I've played with one live.
This video made me by a Zoom ST-224 - The best video on YT about this machine. Zoom should release an updated model and pay you to make the videos for them. Thanks for this video - it made learning to use the zoom so much easier.
Thanks for that comment!! I would definitely do it if they asked! There is a nice group for Sampletrak users on Facebook that you should definitely join.
i have one and I've had for about 10 years but I got a short in power jack so I haven't used it in years but great tutorial. great refresher! and those break beats were used by ODB & WYCLEF.
big ups Ki' of NC!! this video has been incredibly helpful for me, pairs very well with the pdf tutorial for the sampletrak...im working on sampling records then porting the samples into my mpc renaissance, as i find the workflow on the ren to be superior...but nothing can touch the st-224 in terms of lo-fi!!!!!!!
+Hasset Bound I totally agree with you because I own the MPC Studio. Even though I am still learning the Studio it's simple one of the best samplers I've owned in modern times and I always keep the 224 around in case I want to make some quick lo fi dirty goodness though!
+Ki' of NC right on! mpc workflow just clicks with me...but it's sad, samplers lost their character when they all went completely digital, makes everything sound sterilized...surprises me no company has tried to make a sampler that can sound like an sp-1200/other 12-bit samplers but with a modern workflow/capabilities (usb, for example)
+rorz999 right?? especially considering that starting prices on ebay for a decent condition USED 12-bit sampler is usually around $1000...and an sp1200? shit, those are listing between $3-4000!! PROOF that there is a real demand for 12-bit samplers...and if a company could make one with updated tech like you said (usb, etc) they would sell like crazy! im half tempted to start a petition!
NOt sure if anyone else mentioned this but when selecting START/END points of your samples you can make single increments by using the + and - buttons. You can also hold the + then the - to make increments going up by 10. By pressing - then the + you make increments going down 10. AND if you press the SPECIAL button while in START/END points you can increase or decrease by 100 (or maybe more, I'm not sure). This also benefits when using the mod wheel for tighter editing.
Thanks man. Idk if youre still on this thing or not but I have mine coming in soon and this is the best tutorial Ive seen on this machine as well as any other cuz you went right to the point and didn't deviate. Peace. Nice beat too.
Really awesome tutorial. I'm seriously thinking of buying one of these beasts. Looks like a versatile, inexpensive piece of kit. So yeah thanks for posting. Cheers from Australia mate. Subbed.
bruuuh just picked on of these up for lil less than 21 bucks here in Japan...great vid i love that i can fine tune samples too. gonna go great with the 404sx!! thanks for sharing cuzzo!! beat was flames!!! gritty as hell too
Good tutorial but how do you actually save your samples to the backup/internal memory? when I erase the stock samples and record my own, and try to save them, and then turn the machine off and back on again all the samples I recorded are lost and it just reverts back to the stock samples. I cant seem to find this in the manual either
Are you trying to save to the internal memory or card ? if its failing recording to the device its probably cos the internal memory/battery thing needs replacing.
My sampletrak freezes after powering on with "st 224" on the screen. Holding save while powering on there's 'init' on the screen but the reset apparently doesn't work. When I push exit 'st 224' is on the screen. Does it work without smart media card? Any help is appreciated:) Peace, Dom
bro, great vid! I've been tryin to find this out about the sampletrak. Can you resample through external effects? like play a sample from it out the output, thru a pedal and back into the input? The problem on a lot of samplers is usually that it creates a feedback loop. Can this be done on sampletrak?
+vforvillain77 Yea you can do that villain. That's why I love it..its such a versatile little sampler. You can resample with the eternal effects without degrading the quality of the sample and the same can be done with external effects units if your wiring and loop/ground is done well. That's not something I do often, but I've definitely tried it before with no problems. A really dope feature of the sampletrak is that you can actually run outboard effects through it and change them in real time with the eternal effects. Endless possibilities! I see now that I am going to have to do a follow up video to explore these options.
Yeah man! Can you go into how to resample thru external effects? I'm thinking that you'll have to pan the sample pad, say, hard right and then bring the input back in on the left channel so it won't feedback...BUT if you sample the sound coming back in in mono maybe it will feedback anyway because it sums to mono? sending it back out both the left and right outs? (Maybe right and left need to be reversed? i dont know, im just throwing this stuff out there) Anyway maybe the input would have to sampled in stereo so the new samples' left channel is quiet....problem is you'd have half a stereo sample....if so, THEN internally resample the stereo sample into a mono one (assuming that resampling in mono will sum the stereo sample to mono, instead of just record the left side) Lemmie know and lemmie know if you make a vid, I d love to see one!
They are very similar machines, but I think the 404 is better for live performances and it has better storage capabilities over the sampletrak. I think the zooms strongest point is it's ease of use and programming.
When I try to sequence a beat it plays every other sample while trying to lay some drums how can I delete the whole track or any other way to fix this?
No. the knob jumps huge numbers all the time. The two tricks around this is to alternate between the start and end points. Example. Adjust the start point to as close as you want it on the chosen sample then switch to end sample and adjust it. Keep repeating this process until the sample its tight. ALTERNATIVELY you can use the trick I teach on the part two video with the LOOP/MARK button. Tap it as soon as you hear the part of the sample you want to start from. Check the video for more details.
Genial hermano, recién adquirí esta máquina pero no logro importar mis drums de la tarjeta externa, también me instale el zmf de Windows pero no sirvio
picked one of these up a few months ago and i love it! i had a question about editing start and end points though-the wheel seems to be real sensitive when scrolling and i've been having trouble editing the start and end points of 2-4 bar drum breaks-it either cuts off too early or too late. any tips for being able to make clean edits?
Another trick is to detune ur drum break which makes it easier to hit the exact spot u need w/ the loop button. Then after u get your loop running clean tune it up to normal or wherever u need it
Not to sound like a hater, but these things SUCK when it comes to tracking your beat out into your DAW. Volume comes out very low even when using the output gain switch. Think twice before getting one of these!! i highly reccomend a sp 404!
Oh man, don't know if you still have it, but you might have had one or more output capacitors go bad. An electronics hobbyist could diagnose the problem for you.
I'm new to this so my question might be phrased wrong, or very simple. How would I record a sample on to the ST-224 if I didn't have a phono plug running from a mixer into the ST-224. Let's say I had something playing from youtube on a set of speakers, and I wanted to record it on the sampletrak? How would I do that?
My question to you is what is powering your speakers? Whatever is powering the speakers is your sample source. Sounds like you are using a computer and If you had audio coming from a computer you could actually run an 3.5mm jack from the PC audio out to a 1/4 phono jack into the sampletrak. You would have to adjust the volume of the signal to avoid distortion, but this would definitely work. By the info you are giving me it sounds like you need this cable to sample. tinyurl.com/pjdpo6b
Yup, that's the setup I was thinking. Thanks for linking me to what I need! One more thing though! Could you give me some quick pros & cons of using vinyls to sample vs. sampling sounds from youtube videos?
I'm running a 3.5mm jack from computer audio to 1/4 phono jack into the samplertrak, but no sound is coming from the computer? I don't have any monitors either though
@@SaintThomas13 did you use the old sampletrak software to do that? I'm pretty sure the samples have to be a certain bit rate and frequency for it to read them.
You should be able to run a tape deck in no problem! It would have to from stereo RCA to a single phono cable. Then run the output sound to the Guitar Amp. That way you can sample into the deck and hear everything without a feedback loop. Check my 2nd sampletrak tutorial video out. Im pretty much doing what your describing in that video by running a keyboard to sample into the sampletrak and running my sound output to my focusrite interface for playback.
Stacy Fountain Of Youth Bailey You CAN or CAN'T? I just ordered a lightly used ST-224 for $180 from Japan. still looks new. Should be here next week. I ended up buying an Olympus digital camera for $4 from another seller on eBay cause it came with a 16MB Smartcard. Can't wait to dig into this thing though. It sounds dope!
if you press source + edit 1 you get smaller edit range for the sample start and end point. Like this you can do a finer adjustment.
This tip right here just uped my game 1000%
Wow this is the only tutorial on ANY gear that isn't totally grating to my ears. So chill of you to show us how it's done.
Glad I can help! As someone who needs step by step instructions at a moderate pace.. I get it. So glad this appeals to you!!!
I keep coming back to this tutorial when I forget how to use this thing. It's a lifesaver. Great tutorial.

alot of the overall methodology in this video can be transposed to every sampler, master level!
One sign of a good beat maker is if they can figure out a way to work the same way, on any machine.

I'm new to this so my question might be phrased wrong, or very simple.
How would I record a sample on to the ST-224 if I didn't have a phono plug running from a mixer into the ST-224. Let's say I had something playing from youtube on a set of speakers, and I wanted to record it on the sampletrak? How would I do that?
My question to you is what is powering your speakers? Whatever is powering the speakers is your sample source. Sounds like you are using a computer and If you had audio coming from a computer you could actually run an 3.5mm jack from the PC audio out to a 1/4 phono jack into the sampletrak. You would have to adjust the volume of the signal to avoid distortion, but this would definitely work. By the info you are giving me it sounds like you need this cable to sample. tinyurl.com/pjdpo6b
Yup, that's the setup I was thinking. Thanks for linking me to what I need!
One more thing though! Could you give me some quick pros & cons of using vinyls to sample vs. sampling sounds from youtube videos?
I'm running a 3.5mm jack from computer audio to 1/4 phono jack into the samplertrak, but no sound is coming from the computer? I don't have any monitors either though
Michael Ekwuaju how about you find that question yourself by experimenting between digital and vinal idiot.
Word.
Yo Ki, for some reason I can't load from my SD card. No clue what I'm doing wrong
So you can save to the card, but can't pull the sessions back up??
@@kiofnc I loaded the card with sounds from the computer. I can't get the individual sounds to load to the sampletrak
@@SaintThomas13 did you use the old sampletrak software to do that? I'm pretty sure the samples have to be a certain bit rate and frequency for it to read them.
Google "Sampletrak ZMF Producer"
@@kiofnc Awesome... I will check that out rite now... I appreciate you
Might have to cop1!
Dion Brown these are shit tbh save your money for a 303 or 404
can you do a Video on using playlist mode please! :
amazing...errr, can you recommend me a vinyl player? i want to get into this boom bap business dear sir. :D
Can I sample from.a tape deck then plug into an guitar amp to hear my sample
You should be able to run a tape deck in no problem! It would have to from stereo RCA to a single phono cable. Then run the output sound to the Guitar Amp. That way you can sample into the deck and hear everything without a feedback loop. Check my 2nd sampletrak tutorial video out. Im pretty much doing what your describing in that video by running a keyboard to sample into the sampletrak and running my sound output to my focusrite interface for playback.
Thnx. I really appreciate help. Your videos r a God sends. Much thanks.
Can you pitch samples in this machine sir?

Stacy Fountain Of Youth Bailey You CAN or CAN'T? I just ordered a lightly used ST-224 for $180 from Japan. still looks new. Should be here next week. I ended up buying an Olympus digital camera for $4 from another seller on eBay cause it came with a 16MB Smartcard. Can't wait to dig into this thing though. It sounds dope!
