Sampling with more color

will sampling at 45RPM then tuning down in my MPC2500 add any color to the sample or is it not even worth the effort? i know that the method was used for RAM space but i hear in the older machines (SP,MPC60/3000,S900/950), sampling at 45 then tuning down adds color. if i want more warmth and texture to my sample it seems like older machines are the way to go? none of my homies use hardware so never had the opportunity to hear for myself unfortunately. is there a certain bit/samplerate specs that i should be looking out for for the future cop? good looks mpcfam

i don't know the effect of this technique on samples with the 2500
i do it with the sp1200 because it only can sample 2,5 secs at a time, but this is a very particular machine with a unique and characteristic sound
never tried with the 2000 (classic)

you can hear a comparison of the sp and emax sounds here:

Ok try this

1. sample to an audio editor on your PC (or load a sample )

2. transpose sample +24 semitones

3. sample to 2500 via analog outs ouf your soundcard into analog ins in 2500. choose a hi rec-gain (set the rec gain slowly till the meters hit the right end of the display sometimes. Then just add a little bit more rec-gain. Just a little bit)

4. tune down the sample -240 (-24 semitones)

enjoy the sound

peace

i like to add blue,and sometimes green

I actually don't like the sound of the the mpc2500 when using that trick.
