Due to a case of new toy syndrome courtesy of my OP-1, i've not made a track using the black sampler for a few weeks now. So, in the face of the recent wave of hostility towards it, i bravely dusted it off and made this...

Thanks for listening...

This is great man! You always make me feel like I don't utilize motion recording as much as I should. Your stuff often sounds wonderfully tweaked. Also sonically this might be your most impressive electribe sampler track.

I'm not going to lie, I kinda wanna hear what you've been up to with that OP-1 Smile

I made these for fun over the weekend. Might keep going and make a beat tape. The electribe can do all kinds of genres but its workflow speaks very directly to electronic music and dance genres. I decided to treat the device more like hip hop guys use an MPC or SP. Start each session with only a few drums loaded in so I have lots of sample time and use the AUDIO IN to sample stuff directly instead of messing about with the .all editor. I like working that way too but this method is faster, more direct and . So I played stuff by hand as much as possible and used a lot of re-sampling. You eat your mistakes and keep moving on, making the best of what you have.

In some cases I forego the sequencer as the main tool and freely played parts over a long event recording so I could get the feel I wanted and then recorded that performance into my DAW. Ultimately the entire thing was performed on the e2s as a stereo mix and then I cut it up and arranged. A couple of sound effects sprinkles on top and then mastering and voila. Love my electribe even more now!

Two very fine slices of hiphop, great treatment on the vocals. I especially enjoyed Cathedral Sundown. Definitely do more in this fashion!

Thanks for posting to this thread, come on people, don't be shy!!

I used the samples from my previous track "Bright Green Wasabi Pea" to create another.

^^ impressive man! All done only on the E2 sampler?
What is your sample set?
Good job, that is some bad ass sound design! All from one "crippled" box lol

Continuing my beat making adventures on the E2S.

MF DOOM - My Favorite Ladies (Slow Vision RMX)
https://soundcloud.com/slow-vision-178047640/mf-doom-my-favorite-ladies-slow-vision-rmx/s-mvkO8

Backing track built entirely on the electribe sampler, each pattern played into Ableton and then arranged in the DAW. DOOM acapella came from youtube. Love the original and I'd always wanted to make my own version.

I sampled Mr Twin Sister - Blush (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk4P03R3Hts) to make the beat but drums came from my own private collection.

Keeping this going. Another DOOM remix: https://soundcloud.com/slow-vision-178047640/mfdoom-vomit-rmx-herbie-h-stars-in-your-eyes-beat/s-9fWaR

This time I chopped up Herbie Hancock's "Stars in your Eyes" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW9xcANImF4

All sampes chopped and played on electribe. then I put the vocal on top and made it shinier with ableton.
