I would probably say yes, because a fully expanded S3000 cost as much as a small second hand car back in the day! Now you can get thousands of free, multi gigabyte samples and play them on a cheap laptop with stuff like Labs, Decent Sampler or free Kontakt player. Has that improved creativity or the music? That's a separate debate 😉
Hey Paolo, I wonder what you used for Rlangpad and Expound, they're good sounds just like others, but the Matrix 12 choir and Jupiter 8 are my faves here.
It would be amazing if someone uploaded these to internet archive or something like that so us mere mortals that were broke teens in the 90's could get ahold of these sample CD's today.
Ma sono suoni bellissimi !!!! Meglio di qualsiasi expander moderno di Roland e Yamaha , il campionatore Akai aveva librerie fantastiche per ogni esigenza . Suoni realizzati da Veri sound designer e campionati con tutti gli inviluppi corretti. Adesso un Akai s3000 te lo tirano addosso a 300 , 400 euro, i musicisti moderni spendono almeno 2000 euro per un expander di nuova generazione , ma non ottengono lo stesso risultato. Campionatori vs expander , io preferivo i campionatori.
Hello Paolo, just a curiosity: what's the purpose of that bench power supply on top of the S3000XL (at the top left corner of the video)? Beside this video (where it look like it's just a weight for stability purposes), what do you use it for (in the studio)? Grazie mille e saluti dall'Italia! 🙂
Yes, that was just there for stability purpose! I had the sampler on an Apex type stand (two relatively thin arms), and I was afraid it would fall forward, since it's a deep unit. That's why the bench power supply is at the back, to counterbalance it ... I usually use it in my amateur electronics bench, when I build small circuits / synth / noise generators and guitar pedals. Grazie a te, e tanti saluti alla patria!
Why do these old samples sound so good? any additional treatment? Or do they only sound that good on hardware? And if I read those CDs with those samples on other hardware? roland, kurzweil, or convert them to kontakt? i'm surprised how good they really sound
No additional treatments (not even eq, compression, I just normalized the files) other than small bit of reverb in some of the sounds. The source samples were good, and also the AKAI converters were great - but you should be able to get similar results on other hardware
I was talking to a guy a lng time ago and he said he got samples into the s3000xl with data i was confused by this then i got one with a cdrom reader and it has digital connextors 9n the back. I assumed i have to get samples off an akai sample disk with scsi but can i seem to remember he told me he could get samples off any cd???
I have a microbrute and I’m wondering if it’s possible to stack multiple loops on top of eachother or what equipment I would need to do so. For example im trying to play the song temptation by new order. It had a few different synth parts on top of eachother but im not sure how to go about it. Any tips?
music has gone backwards since 1993.... 80s to early 90s was when music creativity pushed the envelope.. then people just got lazy with copy and paste sounds, music became a cliche of itself with the same format being over used
They are from a bunch of sample CDs I bought back in the days, check out these other videos of mine for more info: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9y4OZyQn6YY.html --- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nSZUlLv6aKc.html --- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5oyAD5CBTpM.html
