"Look son, this is how Volca Sample looked like when I was your age"
-
That "Lo-fi af slightly off the grid wonky dystopian" beat is fire!
-
It looks like the kind of thing you'd find in a pawn shop with the wrong cables and a mystery crust on the corners of the screen.

This is RAD GEAR not bad. I had one in the late 90's, it was brilliant, and I used to sample old ladies chatting on the bus, and make tunes on the spot in headphones. It was genuinely great.
-
The fact that Björk used it as a sketch pad for ideas when working on Homogenic is enough on it’s own for this to deserve a place in music history.

It's criminal that this channel doesn't already have a million subs

New bad gear vid - another not bad friday evening

playing on top of a volcano is a total mood. i'm with björk here. also i think that lo-fi af slightly off the grid wonky distopian hip hop instrumental is my new favourite musical genre
-
I love my SU -10! i bought one in 1999 and i still have it, I have made about 3 albums of music with it, Hip Hop and evil distorted Jungle (all between 99-2003). I used to trigger the samples by hand and record to minidisc, jamming the tune until i had great sections and then chop up sections on the minidisc edtor function I shit you not! that is how i made 3 records! all on batteries ! amazing!

That Lo-Fi AF Slightly Off The Grid Wonky Dystopian jam was crunchy as chips. Id listen to that on my free time.

How little this show has changed in 2 years. It‘s all here already, the concept, the structure, the execution. Wonderfully timeless, I‘d say!

"only" 10k views and over 500 comments. That's how you know your content absolutely slaps. YouTube would be a much shittier place without you, and I appreciate the time you take to make this dope content. Thank you.

All examples were bangers.

"This was crunchy as chips!"

Fun fact, the Yamaha SU/QY line of this era is the exact same form factor as Korg's Volca line, so they fit perfectly in a Volca stand along with other Volcas. Only issue is that the ports are on the "top"/back instead of the face, so in some stands, like the official Sequenz Volca stands, you can only place them in the upmost row, as the others block the MIDI and audio jacks.

Always finds a way to make the bad gear sound gnarly

Pretty sure I saw Bjork using one of these live - think it was a Gilles Peterson curated multi-artist show. I was in the crowd stood next to a woman with a hoodie and backpack. At a point in proceedings she nonchalantly walked to the stage and got on up, revealed her identity and pulled out this little sampler from her backpack, plugged in and knocked out a couple of sparse, glitchy and haunting numbers.

"Too lo-fi?" Only makes me like samplers more. The trashier the sound, the better
-
This was my first sampler. I kept a backup copy of the sounds on cassette. Not as data, as audio..
-
OOOH! The "biting the bullet" thing with "I married a strange person" was awesome. Love that movie!
