Rossum SP1200 Review 5 months later

It’s been almost 6 months since I received my #Rossum #SP1200 …. Here is my review. Hint… I love this damn machine.

[amontri]

I learned an sp1200 in 1997 with a bag of dro and a room full of records in about 5 hours I was already sampling/ making beats it looks complex but it's not, on these types of machines it's all done by ears you close your eyes and go by ear and passion but that's what forces you to become creative and it's actually faster and fun your going by feeling/ funk just like a dj would by controlling a crowd but it's Hella funky I still got my o.g Grey sp1200 and it still rocks

[Manmademadman]

This is a solid, educated, factual - while opinionated- review, from a real producer-- and THANK YOU for it. YouTube needs more reviews like this.

Love this review. Make sense if you have the original. Still thinking about getting one even though I have the ISLA 2400. It’s just knowing that I have that piece of history which I would never sell to sit alongside my MPC3000 and my my MOOG Model D reissue.

Never used an SP1200. Always wanted to try one out.

[danonlyjayscuffles]

great video your break down was very insightful

[JOHNNYSLASH]

I was looking tha dang thang up and seen you and was like oh shit! Thinking about picking one of these up!!

[MrScrooge]

Imma MPC man, I own a MPC One, and, have owned the older units, but, never having any experience with an actual Sp1200, I learned my way around the Low Hiss version within a couple of days, so I can translate that to an actual unit, I recommend a person try the Low Hiss, to get familiar with how the unit works

Working with a computer adds the complexity

[GuitarsAndSynths]

Would love one but the sky high obscene 4k price tag is holding me back especially since I already own an Octatrack and SP 404MK2 that do way more and easier to work with on a regular basis. I rather wait for a new Oberheim DMX drum synth or buy something else. Rossum Assimil8or is great option for modular users.

I'm sure the isla2400 has more features, but this is familiar with me, sad both don't have same chip Isla/rossum (there are chip differences from original sp1200 ssm2044 chip and these ssm2144 Isla rossum chips)

[ZenMountain]

Great video. Please review the ISLA S2400 if possible.

[devids]

Would love to see a video showcasing the sound mangling/design capabilities of a SP1200

[paserpase]

He better use the rossum sp1200 as his main & for his project, those other mpc's don't sound better than sp1200

[markl]

Yo my man can you doe more videos on the rossum please, thank you

[JamBurglar]

Mine just arrived a few days ago. It's sexy. With the prices the way they were getting for OG units it was too hard not to pop on the reissue and I'm glad I did. Thanks for the honest review! Oh, and I really like the fact that you have to rely on your ears. There's something to that method of beat making.

[oussmayo]

Yoo real dope review, still wondering if the filters have the fast attack slope that the og sp has, cause that made them less usuable for lowpassing stuff, which i also believe contributed to why people used the 950, thanks!

[E-muKid_]

Not too many videos out there at the moment on the Rossum 1200 beside yours. Nice review mate!.

As someone who has been working on an SP1200 as my main sampler for many years now, I am looking to pick up one of these Rossum units soon.

Should give me time to do some repairs on my unit.

Just one question..How are the drum trigger pads? Have you popped one off to see if it is still the spring/pin contact action. Do they feel more firm and springy than the originals.. if that makes sense haha?

Cheers, O.

[PhatLvis]

Seems to sound somewhat more hi-fi than the original - perhaps due to the parts they had to change due to old parts being out of production. Otherwise, it does sound very similar - even down to such aspects as almost identical aliasing at various settings.

Sp1200 is the best machine on the planet
