The kind of videos I’d like to see are more. Just more videos please and thank you.

I had this one but later I bought the VSS 200 which I still have fully working, along with some other ancient ones!

I enjoyed this demonstration immensely. I admire the talents of your lovely third hand. Your studio resembles the cluttered aesthetic shared with my own studio. Subscribed. I think I’ll go play some fart sounds on my VSS-30!

Wonderful sampler demo! It's great fun to build up a song and rhythm track from a sample. I was unawares of the Yamaha sampler, but I do have the Casio "rival, " the SK-1, and I, too, have the box. That was back in the days of the heated sampler wars. Well, my sampler was sometimes heated. Speaking of future topics for videos, I was wondering if you could please do a demo of creating tape loops (with real reel to reel tape) and creating loop tracks, as well as outboard echo effects, etc?

used to have one of these.. it's probably the most fun little lo-fi device I've ever had. spent countless hours playing around with it. I found it originally at a thrift store or something. been a long time now. can't even completely remember what happened to it but I've been wanting to replace it at some point but most of the prices online are outrageous. Just have to hope it crosses my path again some day I guess.

Speaking of AKAI MPC samplers, the craziest jungle I have heard is a masterclass in fingerdrumming by the legendary Spinscott.

Is there anything similar to it, voice sample wise, on todays market?

That overwrite button, is how they did Bohemian Rhapsody.

Which Boots in Glasgow was it? I'm just nosey as I stay in Glasgow. I might try taking one back and record the disappointment.

Stonking wacked out grooviness again. I have a VSS-200 and used to love getting lost in the insanity. Loving those phantom hands - I'm concerned there's a slightly sinister quality to them though, do watch out...

[mercerfamilyadventures]

Sure beats the hell out of old emu or akai samplers.

Going To The Toilet is very early Pink Floyd IMO!
