12 bit lofi sampler • Gemini DS-1224 • phdirac 

and shawty pimp!

yup

That’s been the modus operandi so far!

Dope! MS-1 is really cool because you can apply the different sample rates in real time (so it’s like the sound of the SP202 without having to sample onto the sampler). I love the sound of this Gemini sampler!

@@phdiracyeaa this Gemini sound crazy lol. Especially for drums

@@phdirac legend has it, that it has a clone ssm2044 (original chip in 12bit 26khz in emu sp1200) but with filters off but clock at 12bit 33khz instead of 26 in gemini

I have my original MS1 as well have to dig it out packed up still works like new plus have the 64sec memory card and paid almost as much as base unit at the time.

@@phdirac love the live on the fly mixing

Definitely fam!! I’ve been experimenting with it as the initial sampling medium before producing in the MPC. Gotta upload some of the beats soon.

Thank you!

Yeah it sounds cool! I’m not even sure what robo play does yet, it’ll be cool to learn. Thanks!

​@@phdirac I just picked one up and spent a good amount of time decoding what any of the labels mean. Robo Play on/lit mutes the incoming selected source (phone/line or line) when a sample is playing. Robo Play off/unlit means it allows you to trigger samples without interrupting the selected input source. The CUE MODE toggle that says MIXER is connected to the PHONES IN 1/4" (shouldda called it AUX IN) anyone struggling to get the pan to work- it only works on the OUTPUT RCA jacks the SAMPLER LEVEL fader controls the level of the RCA output but not the cue. This actually makes sense but (should have been called MASTER LEVEL) the CUE SAMPLER knob controls the headphone level. (Why not just "CUE") Be fucking careful and don't turn up the CUE SAMPLER knob just because you cant hear anything and the go flipping switches. Shit gets real. Fast. Smooth chops btw, that was dope. Subbed.

@@jordanmclove thanks a lot for this useful insight and info on the sampler! 🙏🏿✨

mf doom used that sample

Both of those samples came from the Eugene McDaniels Headless Heros of the Apocalypse album.

@@rowdyrobbyrider4226 Bananas!

LMAO I THINK IM BOUT TO GET ONE DIRT CHEAP

Yeah, such a unique texture (especially with the pitch function)!! I’ve mainly been using it for drums so far.

@@phdirac so cool!!!

Thanks! Yeah, it sounds really good. It’s on the front end of my signal chain, between the turntable and the mixer. I’m mainly using it for making drum kits but I’ve also made a few beats using it (sample into the Gemini, then make the beat in the MPC).

@@phdirac love it. can't wait to hear your new experiments

Whoa!! That’s a diamond in the rough, hope that it’ll get some use soon.

I'll buy it

So does just blaze

the mixer version tho

Drums sound great going through this sampler, I've been using it that way too!
