How to Sample on the 1988 AKAI S950 12-bit Sampler
Рет қаралды 9,770
Күн бұрынIn today's video I wanted to share with you guys the step by step process of sampling into the Akai S950. This video is mainly targeted to anyone who happens to pick up an Akai S950 sampler or anyone who is curious about the sampling process. The Akai S950 sampler can look a bit intimidating but the process of sampling into it is very easy. What I've always found interesting is that a lot of times the Akai S950 adds a certain amount of character depending on which input you decide to go through. In this video I also mess around with 950's filter and show you guys why so many music producers are obsessed with the character of the filter. Thank you for watching! I hope you guys enjoy this video. (Sorry for the shaky tripod so annoying lol)

This machine shines when the sample is played double time with a reduced Bitrate, then pitched back down. The Aliasing it creates is Gold.

I was curious about the workflow. The S950 (or 900) seems like the most affordable way to get into old school 12-bit sampling. Even now, as these machines are going for $2k. The S2400 is I think 1800 or so, but it’s not quite a piece of history like this king. (Not to mention the filter). Thanks man

Great video. Make me appreciate my MV 8000 more. Lots of steps to get things going. Also, for some reason I thought that you could only get like 3-5 seconds of sample time on this.

Yo man what did you connect the line cable to ? I just got my s950 today and I’m trying to work it with my mpc one , do I need to buy a mixer or interface to connect it up ?
@chrisgalactic 2 жыл бұрын
The line in is connected to my interface in my setup. So I can sample into the 950 through the line in but you don't need a mixer just a TRS cable

I made a program on the S950 that maps the keygroups to the 16 pads of bank A on the MPC. I can send you the HFE file if you like.

Thank you so much. this is the first video i watched, that has a step-by-step clear instruction. I have 2 question. the first question is how can i save the sample to the usb drive. the second question is how can i use the sample on my MPC? thank you so much
@spencermakote7436 2 жыл бұрын
In order to use in conjunction with an MPC the two pieces of hardware need to “talk” to each other via MIDI. So, you need to connect the midi out of the 950 to the midi in of the MPC. Secondly, you also need to set up a key group so that the pad midi notes & S950 key group and save this to a disk so that you can boot it up every time & don’t have to reprogram. All of this is covered on the internet, have a look.

Mmmm mic and line are separate inputs try some computer cleaner to get all's the dust out of the input see if that helps
@railster 2 жыл бұрын
@@chrisgalactic I've menaged to fix It. The line input requires a High level of audio volume, instead the mic input needs more then half of It. That's why I couldn't hear anything from the line in.

I just got lucky, bought a faulty one for £185, when I received it the fault was non-existent 😂 I was prepared to get my hands dirty but ended up with a bargain. Saying that, I had bought one in 2005 for £150 and that's a fair price this antique. I believe the price is coming down as people who jumped on the hype train can't be bothered to learn it or put up with the longer workflow.

Nice!!!! Hopefully the prices go down I love the S950 but it's not the magic box

Seen this video and thought "why even make a video like this?" Seems kinda pointless and only for attention/views.. Let's see what I think after watching it lol
@Lindial 2 жыл бұрын
and yeah. Still don't really get the point of making this video from my perspective, but it achieved a goal of you receiving my attention and checking out some more of your videos, just to see if my opinion changes! Although if I wasn't ill in bed I'd probably just get up and use my equipment instead of watching others use theirs!
