if the sampler can't actually sample (that thing with the Volca and iOS app is fucking whack), Korg will never live it down.
we do know that the synthy one is getting PCM multisamples. It'd be sad if the sampler can't match it. Korg is touting it as a simple sampler though.... guess we'll find out in f'ing March =/
oooh you're just being pessimistic !
It's called sampleR after all, as opposed to the Volca which is "only" a sample player
Previous electribes can sample, wouldn't make sense if this one can't
Not really into any of the demos so far, I’m sure though that they will be capable machines, some of the sounds sound ok, but a lot of the demos sound pretty uninspiring and a bit ‘dubstep’ biased, I thought that stuff was dead a few years back - but TBH the fuck I know what is current in clubs now
To be honest I WAS interested but after seeing these two video’s…sounds are all so thin and there are so much boring sounds I have heard before on the Kaos. The advantage is that the previous electribes will be sold more and more and these machines I find beter looking and more straight forward.
Just got a Volca sample yesterday, having a blast with it, very fun, simple but well thought out and flexible sample player, the app is pretty fast and fun and downloading does not take too long (I remember using SDS in the 90s though!)
@johnl you can sequence melodic stuff by recording moving the pitch knob, but it is more suited to drum machine duties really, having said this if you are not trying to sequence an exact pre-determined melody then it is quite fun to come up with pitched sequences like that. I guess if you are patient and use the active step function you could dial in exact melodies, also holding function whilst turning the pitch knob increments in semitones.
@mixrasta yeah kitchen, just had my dinner then quickly set up and jammed
@darenager interesting what you’re saying about being suited to drum machine duties, that’s exactly how I see myself using the VolcaSample mostly with the OP-1.
I think i’ll also use it a lot for mangling samples into surreal sequenced noises then sampling into either the OP-1 or AbletonLive for use in tracks.
