PotenzaDSP's new VST, Amigo, is a sampler that emulates the OG 8-bit Amiga sound heard in many drum & bass, jungle, & house tracks during the 90s. This thing RULES. #musicproduction #amiga

    This plugin will pave the way to a new wave of proper oldschool jungle :)
  • @pianoatthirty
    This is really really cool. The developer should consider the possible option of turning off the bit-reduction - this kind of quick sampler/slicer is something that is sorely needed in Reaper.

    Urban Shakedown - Some Justice & Early Omni Trio vibes. My mate had the sampler for his Amiga back in the early 90s. He made some tunes and older lads played them at a club. We put a tape together with Amiga tunes and then halfway through I recorded a childrens record "All Aboard". The tears of laughter when "My Boomerang Wont come Back" kicked in over the system and everyone stopped dancing looking around confused. You know the score 😂

    This sampler is making me realize why old school stuff is so weird sometimes. You just keep experimenting with samples with it

    I still have my Amiga 1200 and haven’t switched it on for so long it probably won’t ever start again (I fitted a hard drive in it!). Hearing the crunch of the sample really reminded me of a (very!) long time ago. I go all the way back to zx spectrums, bbc micro etc. This plugin is going straight in my studio! Who’d have thought just how powerful computers would be when we were back in the 70s(!!!). Even then, the stuff was way better than using paper cards to store programs on :D

    As someone who has started of his music production obsession using octamed, this is definitely my cup of tea!
  • @djGreenALERT
    This is PURE nostalgia. I suddenly feel transported back to the very first raves back in the 80's. Only this plugin is SO much easier to find than the warehouses and fields they were held in! Thank you so much for uploading this!
  • @andrewpolzin8489
    Omg this is THE sound i have been wanting for 20 years lmao. ❤
  • @jaxonpallone4377
    The hoops I’ve been jumping through to make this sound… this is great
  • Wow. This looks like it really enables you to do some things that previously took some extra editing skills and time to implement.
  • @SIDEEYEmusic
    i LOVE this, used to make amiga and fasttracker tracks back in the day. timestretch, chord memory, this is the first vst i’ve seen in a long time that feels like it was made by actual electronic musicians who know their history
  • @Demonstray
    This dev needs all the love. I would be ecstatic to see a VST each for this same concept applied to the downsampling and DAC conversion on NES, SNES, MD/Genesis, even N64 and PSX would be interesting!
  • @JManskin
    Great video mate, getting nostaligic❤
  • Large up for the shout out TF!! Seriously game changing VST from the Stekker. Wicked vid :)
  • @SlyceCaik
