PotenzaDSP's new VST, Amigo, is a sampler that emulates the OG 8-bit Amiga sound heard in many drum & bass, jungle, & house tracks during the 90s. This thing RULES. #musicproduction #amiga

one correction is that its not a post FX bitcrush like RX950, Decimort etc but actually loading like raw 8bit PCM as a real amiga or sampler would :) hence why the samplerate change isnt instant it needs time to recalculate after u change the samplerate thats why automation of the samplerate is not intended as stated in the manual. Any other plugins use post FX bitcrush which is instant but also brings in noise and lots of other stuff isnt truely authentic!

Easy & fast way to slice / sample in Reaper: Click on a media item and press D. There's your auto-slice. Then create a toolbar icon or hotkey for this: Script: mpl_Export selected item to RS5k instance on same track as chromatic source. Boom. Sliced and loaded into sampler in the same amount of time as it would take to load & drop a sample into Amigo. Plus you can set the sample interpolation of ReaSample5000 to Linear Point, which will definitely give you that oldschool crunch.

Urban Shakedown - Some Justice & Early Omni Trio vibes. My mate had the sampler for his Amiga back in the early 90s. He made some tunes and older lads played them at a club. We put a tape together with Amiga tunes and then halfway through I recorded a childrens record "All Aboard". The tears of laughter when "My Boomerang Wont come Back" kicked in over the system and everyone stopped dancing looking around confused. You know the score 😂

@@meskisable NES had 1 dedicated channel of up to 4-bit DPCM sample-based audio, SNES' entire 8 channels were ADPCM sampler-only channels (the SNES was not capable of synthesis), and Genesis' YM2612 sound chip often switched off its 6th FM channel to use it for 8-bit ADPCM samples instead, such as for drums and voice clips. I'd love to have a VST that faithfully recreates the downsampling processes of each chip, even if true NES chiptune tracks would only be able to use 1 channel at a time!

Two words. Hell. YES! I've been getting by using an old freeware sampler plugin called Helios for my Amiga sound needs. It can do linear and no interpolation modes along with some minor chopping and sample manipulation. But since it's so old and outdated, it has many bugs. Especially in the ADSR department and some stereo samples just don't work correctly even when it's supposed to combine the two channels. This is an instant buy for me especially with the ability to chop samples similar to Fruity Slicer, (FL Studio is my DAW of choice as you can see) emulate the Amiga sound interpolation, AND do old Akai stretching effects.

TAL-Sampler is a big more feature packed overall, really emulating a larger breadth of sampler technology and workflow from the 90s. Amigo is much more lightweight (not a bad thing) Example: TAL-Sampler lets you map samples across your keyboard manually and provides extensive controls / options around the keygrouping process. Amigo automatically maps things starting at C3 and you cant control that. Both are amazing tools & it's worth having the two in your toolbox, imo

To clarify the slight puzzlement to the why there would be an "Akai" timestretch. It wasn't just Akai's that did this and was why everyone making hardcore/jungle back then had a copy of AudioMaster IV for their Amiga. If Amigo emulates the way Audio Master IV timestretches, I'd say that's a major deal for the emulation of the "Amiga sound".

@stekker1 2 ай бұрын

@@stekker1Fair enough, the OctaMED fake tracker stretch wasn't that good imo. AudioMaster IV timestretch can be heard on quite a few tracks by Aphrodite & Bizzy B btw, I'm also pretty sure it's used for DJ Taktix - The Way. it's easy to confuse with the Akai one as they both sound similar for the most part being that it was such early days for that sort of thing, but there's that extra crunch to the AudioMaster IV one.
