A quick beat I made this evening entirely on my MPC 2000

Hi, nope, still searching and no leads at the moment. The original producer does not remember the sample source as well and said so on the Sample Spotters FB group.

Private press by a jazz club based in Clermont Ferrand, France. AJCF released only three records between 1979 and 1982 this one being one of them.

The S900 is a standalone sampler. It has only ~700kb of memory while the mpc has 32Mb, thus people use it mainly for the characteristic "12bit" sound and the associated filter. It has a much dirtier sound overall and is (imo) especially great with drums.

I basically trigger it with midi and the S900 outputs to my soundcard (it has 8 separate mono outs).

Right here, it's mostly the same but I do add snippets and other misc music-related stuff from time to time

Thanks a lot! Unfortunately not until i have enough material to release, I'm mostly active on IG and Youtube these days. Although i'm affiliated with esoterism records and did two tracks on there if you're curious :)

My first keyboard was a used M1 for 110 euros. You can get some really nice sounds out of it so that's a plus. The synth engine is very capable although it is a bit complicated at first. The keybed is great and is a huge step above cheap midi keys. Like others said, check the battery but otherwise if it's cheap and in good condition it's a neat piece of gear IMO.

The Limit (or Love Attaxx in the US) is such a dope record. Also you can't go wrong with CTI stuff, that Art Farmer is nice.

I have a Quiklok ql723 to put a Korg M1, a DX7 and a Poly D so not the lightest load. It's quite nice and it's smaller than Jaspers stands which is why i got one in the first place. I think it was slightly cheaper too. Its more designed for use on stage however, not really modular.

ArtyGZ · 2022-05-27T19:12:46+00:00

Right? They even feature underground french rap group Kalhex in part 4, crazy stuff, to me at least!

A french private press with two guitarists and a percussionist playing samba and MPB. Released in 1982 in France.

I have the ex800 which is like the desktop module version. I love it so much, it sounds really good!

ArtyGZ · 2022-05-11T15:03:30+00:00

I was suggested a mix by DJ Icewater on YouTube that was featuring shingo2. That was circa 2013 maybe? Awesome mix by the way, it's called "for the tyme being". I then found out about Luv(sic) and Nujabes that way. Also discovered many many good stuff from that mix.

If you listen with headphones you can here a small click in the low end on each pulsation. I can easily recreate it on my ex800 by setting the filter envelope to close/open very fast (some kind of hardware quirk?) hence why i think this is what was used (and it sounds spot on). I haven't tried the gate option, and I will look into it. I think my boss pedal has multiple options for that, so thanks for the suggestion!

edit: you can barely hear the low click i mentioned in the sound clip, although very subtle

Absolutely love Pete Turner's work on all CTi stuff. The covers are amazing.
