I somehow tripped over one of these in the classifieds section and went down the longest rabbit hole I've been down in a while.

You can plock on the first one too. My favorite thing to do is record motion sequencing without recording notes and then play the sound live. It works like complex modulation that isn't repetitive.

I watch this educational video 2x a year...Perfect Circuit never disappoints. Funny too. PC totally gets me. I toured with Trent Reznor in the late 90's and he loved this shit!

Seriously ty got this on sale and it’s way more fun then expensive machines I own it’s a freaking steal at 100$ bucks and one of the most fun machines I ever used now I’m thinking about buying a backup

Had the original Sample. Bought it used it a bit but I'm really into Sludge metal so Guitars fuzz pedals and big old amps took center stage. The Sample sat around and a friend wanted it so I sold it. Now 7-8 years later and not playing much Sludge and I'm really missing it. I bought an Akai MPK mini play and have been making beats with a looper pedal and some other effects and It's cool and fun, but I'm going to get a new Sample. You reminded me how much fun that little piece of kit is. Great vid fren.

The synth that taught me to synth was the novation Supernova. 25 years ago. Still does things no other synth does to my knowledge.

Don’t have one, dont need one, but just loved watching this guy !!!!

Electribe EMX-1 ... I had to sell mine but, I made that thing make sounds and styles I've never heard other's make. It had a distinct sound but, really gave me that happy feedback of quick success from its simple workflow.

I've owned MPC's, just about every model of Electribe (currently Electribe Sampler 2), Digitakt, and they are all great machines, but this little bad boy, sure it's limited, but it's a really cool little device.

Its very powerful for the size too, very cool for making beats in bed, on the go etc.

It definitely has a sound too, for whatever reasons, it actually has 16 bit, 32khz sample format, but sounds like far less, and the aliasing in the samples is pretty extreme, can be good or bad but very characterful.

The motion sequencing is very powerful, each step can be a different note, have different decay, attack, length, tone control etc.

A unique little box and one of my favorite beatmaking machines!

I do have a problem with mine though, the samples can become garbled after a while. I just back mine up with the excellent editor software, and reload when necessary.

V Sample was also my first "sampler" and still my favorite.

[KevHutch]

Awesome to see your enthusiasm and love for the little box

[RustyRogear]

The volca sample was also my gateway drug into groove boxes .. I’m wondering if the drumlogue is bringing that volca sample character with all the analog extras and more..

[mattlumpkins]

This thing looks amazing. I use to have an MPC One and really loved it. I still use mpc software but nothing beats the real thing. This looks like it'll be super fun. Can't wait to use it.

[carlosserrano]

Thank you for the super fun and highly educational review.

[orzanoap]

Love the drum sounds on this more than many other drum machines. I haven’t tried making my own samples yet and importing them. It’s a little confusing.

[philphilphil]

Love this little machine. Thanks for the inspo ❤

[dkb]

Just got one, learning to use it, but I already like it a lot.

[radiosilencestaticnoise]

the volca sample is always a good time its just too fun

[toshmagicbamboosound]

Thanks a lot for that helpfull and emotional 🤗
Video. As a bamboo and Woodflutemaker I have to say my heart beats for my flutes 😄 but the volca sample is the Best Electronic Soundmachine I ever had.The Workflow is incredible, the sounds are exzellent. I had an korg electribe, and now I got a miniak, wich I'm not whery happy with.

Its cool it can do so much if you practice with it a bit. I think I jive more with the elektron stuff but if this was all I can afford it would still be great. I got mine as a gift last year and its fun to just pick up and play since its small and self powered.
