So would I be able to just use the stereo inputs and outputs of the Akai and link it to let’s say 3/4 in/ out of my interface. Then would I be able to sample my own music from my DAW going into the interface and interface into the sampler and then after sampling, back to the interface and back in the DAW? I hope I am explaining myself correctly, help would be great :)

I still have mine but no hard drive. Anyone know what type of drive I should get nowadays ? The only computer output it has that I can see is the big SCSI one (24 pin?). Any tips would be gratefully appreciated

Man that's crazy I just now saw this

I don't get why you made this video?

Bought one of these bad boys new, sold for peanuts in 2010. Still got my 6400 ultra.

You can do this in the MPC . Sample Layers .. Maybe not as good though, it wond blend in the same way I don't think...

Didn't know you were also an electronics tech mate? Got a lot of the same gear as me :) I have an S1000 which I restored

Top video, great info. Thanks Bizzy

Hey man been watching your videos for inspo! I want to pick up on of these older samples but which one between the emu e5000 and akai s1000/11000/3000 would you recommend? I’d like to be able to sample directly in and do a lot of pitch and time stretching and chopping. Mostly for ambient dnb but I’ll probably use it for Lofi as well.

Apologies for the side angle peeps, I did not realise that KZbin did not allow landscape streaming from a phone

Phat set right there. 🔥👍🏻

Amazing sets from Bizzy B and Equinox 🔥🔥🔥 Was such a vibe. Thanks so much for coming to Nottingham 👊

Banging set mate

Nice one B :-)

This is just about the closest I can get to experiencing seeing bizzy b live and this is massive 😍

Big up Bizzy!

That was a treat! Thank ya so much Bizzy Salute Junglist

Aren’t the internal digital sound paths for both these machines identical, but the S2000 just has a cut down display? It’s the older S3000 that is different.

No need for hate in the comments, the tool's there for those that like it. Big up to Bizzy & Stekker both.

Yes bizzi 🔥🔥🔥

Its a crime you only have 13k subs😢

You may need to update your "Amigo v1.0" that you are using in the video, to the latest version (Amigo v1.0.2) to fix the issue. As the newer version allows users to manually point Amigo to the correct sample folder location where any "missing samples" are currently located. Amigo will then load them in correctly as normal. The problem with the early version was, since, Amigo saves links to samples as "absolute folder path locations". Meaning, if those samples are subsequently moved from their original location (when they were loaded into Amigo), the plugin cannot automatically locate them. The version you're using doesn't even give the user the user prompt option to manually override that, but the update does. You would need to set up a new user account with at "potenzadsp" which wasn't available at product launch (if you haven't already - check your emails for their link) and then add your already purchased Amigo to the account, to get the latest version. BTW, I'm also using Windows 11 with no issues (since you queried whether it was an OS issue ... it isn't) 👍

You have to have GATE activated. Then your pattern mutes will work.

Sounds like a Renoise issue. No issues like that with FL Studio.. Why not just use the OFF command.

Down with Amigo and down with fake lofi and all hipster culture vultures!

Yo B, press A to trigger an OFF command on the chan!

Bizzy B the original GOAT !

how far did you get with this? just putting a Zuluscsi in mine but messing about trying to get the OS on the SD card

Just had this happen on a project I'd been working on for a while. Each instance of it lost the sample, and I haven't deleted or moved anything. As long as you can find the audio you were working with again, it's fine, but it's a huge pain.

how do you use roland cloud with out a daw

dude ,it seems that the oled on the s1000 is getting way too much juice , it's too damn bright

It just doesnt seem to like samples saved within the daw, maybe a file path or permission thing, if you store the samples on the desktop or documents etc it will open up back where you were including any settings.

I gave up on saving patches in any sampler lol the only patch ive bothered saving is my own version of an init patch. MY biggest issue with amigo is that i cannot drag samples straight in from my daws sample browser (because i use reason) so I have to browse it using the normal file browser meaning I get no preview and also means I have to bounce a lot of things out (i.e. stuff from refills) just for amigo making me have doubles of things i dont need. I also find it a mad struggle to remove pops and clicks from loop points in amigo especially when working on bass samples.

ive got no probs on Mac in Ableton , GATE mode is the answer to stop sound, haven't had the "lost samples" prob ( yet?) ...maybe i am lucky..donno. Amigo is no joke - Stekker & Dispensa are onto something here! Hope they keep developing it or new plugs further in the same spirit , maybe to other 12bit realms and directions , EMU-SP aliasing , tuning and punch maybe . Would be cool to have an option to tune and edit chops individually - MIDI maped to controller faders inside the plugin. As well as i am all pure hardware head for 30 years and i use S950 MPC3000 Sp12 & SP1200 to this day all day. this plugin is a breath of fresh air in the growing VST emulators overload - it sounds right and feels right and got the limitations just like the classic Hardware Samplers. just my 2cents . Big ups to the Bizzy Jungle Crew!

Biz brother! Don't even interact with this. Amigo is a gimmick, it's not coded in raw C++. It's made from one of those silly vsts maker packages. The creators make daft tracks mocking jungle, making it sound overly 90s of lofi, in a satire type way, it's all a joke and a mockery mate. And they are mocking you as you are the actual pioneer. You are above this Biz.

Checkout PAULA Max for Live device it uses TAL-DAC to emulate the Amiga Paula sound chip. Part of the MANY WORLDS SAMPLE CD.

For cutting a chop I made a tiny dummy slice with no sound and triggered it or switched on the Vel and did a 0 velocity note at end. Yep a bit workaround-ish but worked.

The plugin might just be storing a reference to the file system path vs loading the sample into the project, which a lot of samplers do, so when you delete or move the sample file it can’t find it.

I had the same exact problem with it keeping samples in ableton 11 projects.... I stopped using it, honestly I wasnt as BLOWN away as everyone has been raving about it for..... Tal sampler makes it obsolete.

Try using gate mode for the sample to stop.🙏

It may be a Renoise bug. I use the Amigo in Jeskola Buzz and it so far has not given me any issues.

Groove Agent loses files like this, I dropped it. I love Amigo... but I am using TAL Drum and TAL Sampler. Simple, reliable and sound great.

Does pressing caps lock in edit mode to add “off” in pattern work to cut if off?

VST3 dont load in Skale so im up the river without a paddle lol... Wont the note off command work in Renoise, The Caps lock key? Big up Bizzy!

The plugin has a very primitive file manager, it's what it is. TAL Sampler even if you remove the drive and change the letter, if you put the drive back you just have to locate the drive then TAL will automatically search for the file(s) that is missing. Worst than all of this is that Renoise has an horrible file manager too, you can't drag and drop samples into the plugins like you can in any DAW in existence.

if you press the gate button the sample doesn't play on

I find I can't load one of my own patches if I have one already loaded and want to swap. I have to open a new instance of amigo every time.

I use Reason I don't have this bug, don't forget to report to dev the bug.

Amigo is crap, it's annoying, overly lofi and used by the creators to make crappy fake lofi. It's a hipster turd. Just use an Akai people. the investment is worth it.

Not had that problem in studio one, sounds like a bug to me. I'm not using Windows 11 for my music so it possible it's that.
