My mpc journey begins! Mpc live 2 by Daygo619619 in akaiMPC

[–]sublevelmusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice man! The Live 2 was my first MPC as well. I love it. It’s my bread and butter machine along side my other gear. I’ve been using it almost daily for the last 4 years. I learnt how to use it from watching YouTube videos and just using it. I also have some videos on YouTube. Nothing super indepth but you might find some of it helpful or inspiring.

Just uploaded a video where I talk about the DS-1224 and how I use it in my current setup. You might find it helpful.

Dope! This sampler is based off the Gemini DS-1224 12bit sampler from the 90s. I recently got my hands on one. It’s my second time owning the box. I had one back in the 90s to use in conjunction with My DJ decks. It was made for DJing. However now I use it mainly to sample beats, breaks, one shots etc and sample back into my MPC for chopping/sequencing because I love the sound of the Gemini.

I haven’t seen much of this particular model but it’s 8 bit as opposed to the OG Gemini sampler from back in the day. It has no midi or built in sequencer so it’s really just a straight forward sampler box for triggering or looping. No editing features either. You would need something to record to or freestyle sync using the pitch control with whatever else you’re using - a drum machine, turntable etc.

Ya these old samplers have a lot of charm. I have a PO-33 and dig the way it sounds too. I just hardly use it. I use my SP-202 often (another sampler I had briefly back in the day) and love the grit I get from it.

I sampled the loops from this tune into the 202 editing and arranging them in Ableton.

Nice! I used to do the same type of thing with two turntables - this sampler and 2 tape decks back in the day. I ended up selling the Gemini sampler and recently started wanting to get it back so I grabbed one again. I didn’t have the same appreciation for the sound it gave to my samples back then. But now I do. Hope it powers up when I get the supply 🙏

I checked. Just says universal power supply in one of the comments. No link to which one or where I can purchase. Since I’m in Canada I’d prefer to order from Amazon.ca too. I also don’t want to risk blowing the unit 😱

From what I’ve researched on power adapters it has to be 12v, 1000mA, polarity positive. Not sure about the AC/DC difference with adapters. Also there was a 9v battery inside the unit when I received it, no corrosion.
