The main drawback of the R8 (which I love) is that its Swing just doesn't hit as well as the mpc, sp1200 etc
@bleepsandboops 7 күн бұрын
The swing is quite a thing on this... Tricky to get so it actually 'swings' and then you're right, it doesn't groove as much as it could.. 😁
@robofixit4636 8 күн бұрын
What are your thoughts on making that old school pulse bass sound in the R8? I have found a way to use the Roll function to create it with the internal bass samples but it’s not exactly perfect and difficult to make key changes with the pitch shift. The other idea I have is to send out a MIDI to an external synth but sound is not coming from the R8 anymore. Idk maybe I need an MPC for something like this? Any other ways possibly or am I just wishing upon a star? 😂 Example of the pulse bass in reference: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9Kjn7KZuNGXnZ8.htmlsi=Im2-KIHsZGJ-m0yi

You could do it with the R8 sequencing external midi gear, though you sacrifice one instrument for each note you want to play. Or, you sample the synth sound, put it onto something like the WaveRex and sequence it within the R8 doing the pitch shifting internally (like you would the internal samplers) Or you get an external sequencer and synth, program the synth however you like (arpeggiator, clock synced looping envelopes, lfo, whatever) and use either the R8 or the other sequencer as a clock to sync it all together... Jam 2 does some of that - I'm using the Hapax to play all the other instruments, whilst the R8 is playing the drum sounds. Hope that helps!

@@bleepsandboops There's a version of the WaveRex for the M1 as well as the R8, but there are also a couple of other options. I've actually got the "M1RAM", which is not as sophisticated as the WaveRex but is about half the price.

The R8 ain't lofi, it has uncompressed 16 bit, 44.1 khz samples, exactly the same as CD.
@bleepsandboops 9 күн бұрын
Maybe on the factory samples - and the R8's convertors are 44,1/16 from what I understand - but you do have to downsample anything longer than a drum hit in order to fit it on the WaveRex card. Combine with the pitch shifting, and it sounds pretty lofi..

It is an excellent card really and you can get it to load the binary data from the original cards too. To find this you just need to poke about on the web. Feels like a parallel universe to add your own samples too it.

great video, mate. Love jam 3, that would sound nice along with a nice, fat bass drum. I've been toying with the idea of buying a R8, but I'm having too much with my RX5 with the usb card. I've also got the RY30, would love that card too, maybe I'll invest in it one day, the process of working with it does seem a little more daunting than with the RX5USB or Waverex.

The r8 is great for triggering 8 and 12 bit analog digital analog samplers , it has such a mechanical sound if you dont use the humanized function. I hate the word industrial ever since That winy boy trent rezner sold out the original underground art movements and coined this marketable term . So think front 242 instead They used the r8 quite a bit on up evil and off
