I know a few guys around here like the gramophone effect on the MV, I personally dont like it really...

I'm just doing a little bit of cleanup on my MV right now via USB haha... just to the left of this window on the other screen I'm waiting for check disk to finish on the mv hard disk.

One advantage that you have is that you're sampling off of vinyl, I use cd turntables so no matter what I do I can't really get that sound that comes only from vinyl. I've tried using some of these techniques you used in your video before and got pretty good results but there's still a difference when a sample is straight off wax or when it's off a cd. Sampling off vinyl is just as important as the sampler or technique being used when trying to achieve that gritty sound. Hmm... How about a vinyl emulation? It can help to fatten, warm up and add some vinyl sound to our samples (in other words grittify). Can't have enough grittification emulations I always say :). But for real, I remember back when I had a Roland MV-8800 (had it for about a month or so) it had options to emulate 12bit and vinyl and you could choose how much vinyl character to add to the sample (damn I had totally forgotten about that til right now); it actually sounded really good but I think it was an overall warmer sounding machine than my 2500.



The 1st drum break is sampled off Vinyl by Pleasure - Bouncy Lady but the 2nd break ( end of the video ) is from a Drum Drops - Temple Of Boom 16bit Wav that was produced using reel-to-reel recorder and analog outboard gear/vintage drums/mics/etc so its sounds fat and warm but its not off vinyl ....
SP12/1200 colors and "grittifyes" and "dustifyes" anything you put in it and when you pitch it up or down it adds some dusty ringing artifacts like no other sampler - some love it some hate it , but that's what it is :)

have you tried Rolland's Dr. Sample SP303 ? - i've got one and i must say its LO-FI sampling mode and a Vinyl simulation FX sounds - very nice little "grittifyfier" to add to any modern MPC....

not sure if its possible but its worth this post!

+1 for mpc60, mpc3000, sp1200 emulation on JJOS


well... no - this post doesn't worth and personally I hope that JJ will not spend a time on such obsolete feature....

Thanks for the info and no, I've never messed with the SP303 but I just looked up some info on it and the vinyl simulaton it has looks similar to what the MV-8800 had. Something like that would be nice to have added to the effect section of the mpc or atleast added in a way that's similar to the bit reduction emulations.

I never really been a fan of emulating other samplers as an fx. I guess when i sample or mangle/tune something i just use whats in it till i get something close rather than what i hear in my head or want the machine to do.. I'd rather more functional sequencing options or arranging options than more effects... I suppose if your only using the mpc by itself with out any computers more effects would be good. If i wasn't using no computer, i;d invest in a effects rack or one of those samplers to get that effect... Kaos pad or one of the sp samplers...

Somehow I don't think so.

Is this what birthed the idea of the vintage modes on the Renaissance? If so, this is some history.

maybe, also this:
Gear Talk with Sean C and LV: April 6th, 2012

Sean C:... ...We were a part of helping design it, so it’s really close to us. One of the features we put in was the “vintage mode” where you can switch between MPC 3000, to MPC 60 and it gives you that sound.

I think the NI product had a 'Vintage Mode' since version 1.5 almost three years ago, and then there are other software emulations of classic samplers. Those two dudes might like to think it was their idea, but that is reaching quite far...
