So if I understand correctly, you record the samples with the S950 and save them onto an SD card using a floppy emulator, then edit the samples and convert them back for playing with midi using a tracker? I didn't realise trackers did midi but it just reflects my ignorance of amiga midi. How perfect this rig looks for bringing to the park on a tricycle!
Awesome breakage, awesome setup. You are slowly selling me on Renoise. It's gonna happen eventually. I'm a bit more back to basics. Unexpanded Roland S750, Amiga A500 (PiStorm'ed and GoTek'ed though). Currently looking for some kind of KVM switch so I can use the mouse on my sampler (Only accepts Amiga mice). Come to think of it, would love to see a video on exactly that, if you have similar gear in storage.
This is great in so many ways. The video editting is great and so are the shots all looking nice and chill. The video itself is informative and finally the song at the end is very very good and imaginative. It goes beyond a simple tutorial and stepping into genuine art. It is crazy that this doesn't have millions of views. It's just perfect in every way. Great job! Love these videos!
This method works great! Thanks so much for sharing your process. It helped me massively :) This is a great alternative to using Translator 7 and a cheaper option. I used wine to install Awave on my M1 mac following this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pC7CNiRoo5I.html I used the wine-staging-9.13-osx64.tar.xz & it worked perfect with the demo of Awave. Also if anyone is having problems I strongly suggest you update your ZULU scsi to the latest firmware. My AKAI s1000 was playing back the files wierdly before I updated.
@@EvLoutonian yep. You need a gotek floppy emulator with the flashfloppy operating system for the gotek. Use floppy images in .iso format not .hfe You can skip all the stuff about changing directories if you’re using a floppy emulator. The directories are only for the 950 with SCSI
Thanks, and is that version of Renoise a legacy version? Does the latest work for this use case? I am hoping to find a way to workaround the painstaking process of creating keygroups, having to manually pan the L&R of each stereo sample - all while remaining on a modern mac laptop as I don’t have space to setup a secondary computer! Thanks 🙏
@@quentinjames981 this is a fairly recent version of renoise. It’s probably not the latest. I just watched a video on the latest version - it still works the same for this this stuff. The hardest part about doing this on a mac is that you need wine (or some other windows emulation later) to run awave. I’ve not got awave running properly but it works just enough to do this loading and saving business.
@@Samplers Thanks for clarifying about renoise. Awave seems to be running splendidly on your mac, are you using wine? I've messed with wine a few times for different reasons without much success. However unless I'm missing something, it should be possible to use renoise on my main laptop (macbook m1) to export the samples + .sfz, and then pop the SD card into a windows machine running awave, then back into the S3000 (ZuluSCSI) right? Might try make room for a small windows laptop in that case. Also - how does akaiutil handle volumes (e.g. hd 0950.iso) with multiple partitions, do you get control over which partition to affect? Cheers
@@quentinjames981 yeah I’m using wine. It’s not running splendidly but will open and save - the main things I need. You saw GroovingInG’s post here - sounds like he might have things better configured with wine. Also, as you suggest it is totally possible to jump over to a windows box for awave. The fewer steps the better though! Note all of these programs run on windows. It’s a option to do the whole process there.
My man, glad to see you on RU-vid. Under pressure was and still is blessing! That fat and griddy sound you push from old electronics is insane. Love from Moscow ❤
I don't have an S950 but I still enjoyed the shit out of watching this... come to think of it, I don't have Renoise, or Awave, or Akaiutil, but still a dope video.
Sometimes i wonder if i was born in the wrong time and age, but then i remember the country that i live in and if i lived in the country i live in i probably wouldnt know a sound called "jungle". (Or have equipment to make the sound of Jungle) But damn i wish i was having my teens in the 90's. Im just a Gen Z'er that makes some sounds on Fl studio now. Oh well.
The s-760 doesn’t have a sound that is in anyway important to this kind of music. There’s a better argument that some of the early Akais have some magic but even that is FAR from essential
@@Samplers I mean i am aware of that, I was more on about being able to witness the birth of Jungle and genres alike. I've been chasing the same sound as yours on both my RU-vid and my soundcloud pages. And i guess i am a Nerdy person so i just like to play around with old Computers. I do wiggle around in C64 emulators anyway. So- yeah,
@@Samplers I guess what i am after with wishing to live in these eras is not to make music this way or me thinking its the Equipment that gave the taste (which with akai it kinda gives a taste i guess.) but instead me wanting to experience the time period. More of a sentimental reason. Hope it makes sense even tho im supposed to be a Native english speaker according to IELTS my english goofs up sometimes.
@@siwij I reckon the main thing is to “find the others” - the other people who like cool stuff and who have interesting ideas, and to “make stuff happen”. The best thing from the 90’s in my opinion was participatory and collective nature of the party scene. I don’t see many parties happening in my area that are in illegal warehouses but plenty going on in warehouse spaces, under bridges and in the cracks. Someone has a sound system, someone has some records or a USB, someone has a generator, some lights etc.
I’m still here! But yes, need to make more vids. Long weekend this week. Maybe bust something out. Walking home from seeing djrum just now. Energising.
The Dell is just an LCD monitor. The brains of this setup is the Commodore Amiga 1000 - and the MIDI interface there is some crusty old adapter without a brand name on it. MIDI interfaces for the Amiga are normally easy to get but this computer is different to all the others and needs a special one.
