glia:

stereo and disappointed in the sample time/fixed storage

me too, still gets on my nerves but at the same time when I just stop thinking about those two issues the digi is heaven

Thanks for posting my video! I started on an MPC60II back in the day, then took a long break from music… after experimenting with modular synths for like 7 years, I jumped back into sampling world but wanted to find a sampler that I could carve my own sonic signature with and also be associated with… similar to how Pete Rock is associated with the sp1200, DJ Premier and the MPC’s, Madlib and DOOM with the sp404 etc. The OT is so open ended in design you can really approach it in a unique way.

You are correct, they call me the Godfather of the genre known as Modbap.
Thanks

I love what OT brings to the scene. I don’t believe in tool A Vs tool B. It’s all about the wiring, the sparks, and the pathways in your mind.

Well said, these are instruments/tools… you’ll never hear a carpenter say
Look at the hammer that built this house… We as artists breathe life into these machines.
Great music in this thread!

The OT: the performance tool for the Renaissance 2.0. But we are too young to understand it now.

Who invented the piano – and why does nobody remember him?

When was the piano invented, how does it produce sound and why did the piano become so popular?

I come out of hibernation when elektron drops new gear.

0.09 secs in and guy is having a breakdown. Knowing he’s never going to drop a beat this hard again.

Tdot · 2024-04-29T03:19:31.153Z

Damn. I hope to try to make a better beat one day.

thehankengine · 2024-04-29T06:15:16.046Z

Come out more often. This beat is legit good. Just don’t give it to OVO

hausland · 2024-04-29T06:55:51.119Z

My man, as someone who loves hip hop and also loves the OT, I can say that I loved your video and the beat you made on the OT (and I loved that you were visibly into it as well). Makes me want to use it for that music more too, I tend to use my OT as a sample mangler for harmonic & melodic content mainly. Also love the hip hop productions @JonMakesBeats makes on the OT, I think the device is well underrated in that regard.

Tdot · 2024-04-29T07:32:53.497Z

Bro I would love for ovo to take a beat. Im almost jaded and old in my late 30s but haven’t gave up yet. Lol

Prepare for AI 2pac.

Jon makes beats used to come to project blowed and leimert park. He has come a long way. Trying figure out how to make some noise in this industry while not being a slave to a job forever. Being a adult is fun.

Tdot · 2024-04-29T07:35:28.720Z

I revived this thread lol. Naw elektron fam y’all make me want to make beats when I hang with my mpc heads they just complaining.

captain8 · 2024-04-29T08:28:02.181Z

hold up you were at project blowed and leimert park?
now you definitely can’t give no beats to ovo

Tdot · 2024-04-30T07:41:21.052Z

Lol yeah. I’m from LA. I would love any placements rn

My studio is in a rebuild right now so I’ve been having to work on projects in little ad hoc setups. The other day I needed a bit more drums and had already maxed out the octatrack so I dug out an xr20 and really liked it as a companion to the octatrack. I had a 1000 a decade+ ago but never used it outside of the most basic backbeat stuff. Kinda want to get another 1000 with JJOS and pad upgrades. Anyone have some favorite mpc1000 guides / YouTube vids etc
