I am new here, and also new to sampling - but I just got my sampler two days ago, and so far I have been plugging my Novation BS 2 into the input for sampling, as well as a nifty Marantz cassette recorder/player. I think I need to go to some thrift stores tomorrow and find some more cassettes... |

+1 on the single cycle waveforms. The ES2 seems to handle them well (you just have to set the loop points in them, and save it). |

would you mind elaborating on this? i'm interested in getting an ES2 and using own single cycle waveforms. is it easy to get them up and running? what do you mean by "set the loop points"? to my understanding with a single cycle waveform there is no need for a loop/sustain region.
thanks in advance! |

The loop section start=0, end=end of sample length. The ES2 defaults to not looping samples. So for each single cycle WAV you bring in, you have to set the start point (which is 0).
The reason for this: drum sounds, generally speaking, shouldn't loop. So the start defaults to the end of the sample. Once you set this (it's rather easy), the sample will loop when held. |

" Thanks to disconnector, you can easily blank your sampler and begin from scratch. "
Where is this all blank file? Id love to get a hold of it! _________________ Korg Fanboy. Keys, Beats, Poly 800, EMX-1, E2, ES-1, ESQ-1, Mopho |

Hello, I've cleared out my ES2 stocked samples and started from scratch as well. I've added in the Goldbaby MPC Vol 1 (for some classic roland xox sounds + MPC grit). I've also added in some single cycle waves that came with the Renoise library.
Another thing I've done was take some synth sounds at the key of vitamin C and made the loops multiples of 674, this way it always is the key of C (Tutorial by Sauce).
I've also used the ES2s effects to process my TB-3... they make a great pair, especially the IFX 2 ring mod delays.
Cheers,
Mike |

One of my personal favorites is old 50's and 60's horror and scifi trailers. They have the BEST sound bites.
Various movies and BBC newsreels also have some really good material for soundmining.
Documentaries and interviews too--- the ones without a running soundtrack that was introduced for dramatic effect. _________________ Drops drip from the drain of the decaying detonator on the doomsday device---- delayed |
