SV: [emulatorII-list] using EII as a vintage drummachine

2008-03-11 by Kenneth Abildgaard

I think this has been done MANY times before.

I even have some SP12 banks for the EII that E-mu made themselves.

 

I feel the same way as you do; the samples created by using state-of-the-art
samplers does not sound the same as the original stuff (even though it can
be hard to tell the difference in a mix), but sampling the SP12 or
Drumulator samples into the EII sounds a lot better in my opinion. 

 

Some of the EII banks that have samples drum machines on them sounds very
very good if you ask me. 

 

I found a bank the other day (can’t remember its name) with some drum
machine samples and a bass sample and when I hit the play sequence button on
the EII I was completely blown away.

It just sounded so fat and good and crunchy that I couldn’t believe my own
ears.

 

I just LOVE that sampler J

Emne: [emulatorII-list] using EII as a vintage drummachine

 

oberheim dmx, sp-12, linndrums, sci drumtraks etc.

i´ve looking many ways to replicate those great machines, and one day
i found eproms (ascii data?) taken from these units. 80´s drum
machines basicly are sampleplayers with vco and vcf.. and all the data
is 8-bit. what i´ve found is that allmost every drummachine first
sampled (piece by piece), and then mapped and played again with ANY
sampler, lose some very important "character" on the sound. maybe
because of the AD/DA conversions, maybe because of summing, i don´t
know.. anyway, there is something very special how these drum machines
creates the sound!

so, the idea is that i wanna throw data from these machines straight
to EII and see what happens. have anyone tried this so far?
