12-bit Sampler

Hello out there.

I know there are some threads about theese old crunchy samplers around, but I hope noone has anything against me startin my own thread for my own need.

Im looking for a 12-bit sampler that adds this crunchy/dirty/warmth sound to my samples and drums. Im making like early 90's hip hop beats, pretty much influenced by funk and jazz (Like ATCQ, Gang Starr, De La Soul, Main Source etc.) The main equipment in my studio are my vinyls, my Technics 1210 and my MPC 1000.

I guess that floppy is the thing when lookin at this old school samplers, so how you guys think about the workflow together with my USB based MPC1000, does it work well, or do you think I should trade the MPC1000 for a MPC2000(XL)?

I can say now that I cant spend too much money on this. A maximum of 300-400 dollars.

Well met!

there's a cat on here who has a s950 triggered by his 1k, i think he goes by "juta.." i think that's a good way to go about what you're trying to do... don't need to trade the 1k...

does the 1k have a bit rate converter like the 2kxl?

@j-no
Sounds great. Will check that up. Thanks

I do think so, with JJOS installed...

JJOS has a "bit rate converter." in the trim screen hit edit and scroll through the options, there is a bit rate effect there.

its not that good though, and really does not compare to a real 12 bit sampler.

Thanks for the answer man. Expected that it aint close to a real 12 bit... You have any ideas for 12 bit sampler that fits my needs?

imo best 12 bit sampler for drums is emu sp 12 (not the 1200)

i think the best 12 bit sampler for all other samples other then drums is the emulator II by e-mu

Honestly... how can you compare a "Bit Converter" in a MPC 1000 to Sp12/1200 or 950... just cant be right...

roland s-550 12 bit cheap used!

12-bit? That's for pussies; you need 8-bit crunch like my RZ-1:

I never did...?

Go for the s950 and 1k combo.

get a s950 or an emax I and resample or trigger those samples via midi from your 1000 and you're sorted!

Thanks for all the answers!

S900/950 seems very interesting at the moment.

Keep the suggestions coming! Appreciated!
