This is stuck in my head to this very day.

Thanks guys. The microsampler seems interesting, though the keys seem a bit of a pain for drums, that's just me though. The s20 seems pretty cool as  well, and it's dirt cheap. The mpc500 is always an option, but it's a bit on the pricey side, anyone used one of those?

I have a Sampletrak. It's a lot of fun and imparts a gritty lo-fi-ish quality to samples. I've never used a 303, but the Sampletrak is easy to use.

Yeah, I heard good things about it's workflow. Are the effects up to snuff? I really don't care about them that much, but it's a nice touch.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with samplers. I was researching around, and narrowed my results down to either the Zoom Sampletrax or Roland SP 303. I don't know which to buy, having never really used a hardware sampler. So what does cm.o prefer?

Doesn't Roboctopus sample guitar chords in one of his songs?

I do!

I recorded myself playing the chord progression, chopped it up, compressed the hell out of it, EQ'd, etc, and loaded the samples into LSDJ.

It's pretty noisy, but they do play in tune. I just think of them as a little more punk. I use some piano chords on another track on that EP.

If you're cool with bitcrushy fuzz, then sampled chords work. But it takes a lot of EQ/tweaking to get them to sound okay. They're really fun to use R and P commands on.

That's actually really cool, I wonder how sampling a bass would go. I'm pretty sick of triangle bass.

You write the kind of music I wish I could write.

I learn so good from this.

I clicked on this thread with the sole purpose of redirecting you to the introduction thread, but then I listened to your music, and it's far superior to the usual "my first l̶s̶d̶j̶ fakebit," so I changed my mind. Welcome to cm.o

Also, I'd love to hear some more reggae chiptunes if anyone knows of any. I vaguely remember a piggy tracker dub set, but I can't seem to find it.

Remember me guys? I'm proof of all the negativity of this place. I made a shit peace of shit and didn't realize it last year and put it on this site because I was told it was a great place to get started,learn, and because it was "a good idea" and then i got cursed at,falsely accused(was it trolling?) and discriminated. Been lerking and practicing ever since,because,basically,aint no body got time for dat shit.I laugh at it now though,but since then,all I believe there is here is a bunch of jerks with useful information....the worst kind of jerks. hmm

I remember that thread, good times. Never post til you feel comfy with what you've got, and feel that saskrotch won't tear it up too bad.

Never post things you don't want torn to pieces on CM.O, unless you're talented and want to see the giant circlejerk that ensues.
