I remember dreaming about a 16bit sampler when i had an Amiga back in the days… Funny to see that people now buy plugins to go back in time! I wish i had never sold my Amiga 😢

[@groovining]

Yea for sure! Everything got a little too clean/robotic and now people want all that old school grit & degradation in the sound. Sad you sold your Amiga 😢. Hope Amigo can be a new friend to help you through the loss 😊

[@synthphilosophy]

Of all the plugins I bought for the last year (and probably longer), this is by far the one I'm most excited about. It just drags me to it. The intuitiveity of the UI, the feeling, the sound. Makes me want to use all the expensive plugins and hardware I have, sample them and drop them into amigo. It sounds so gorgeous and the workflow just clicks with me. I think for the last project I haven't used a single track without it ^^. So good

[@unknownmusicman]

You just described the way renoise makes me feel.

[@groovining]

I agree! I mean the UI is just amazing to work with. It's so simple and easy to navigate - actually makes a huge difference compared to other similar plugins. I've been loving using it for the last week or so ✌️🚀😊

Unbelievably dope. THANK YOU PotenzaDSP!!!!!

[@groovining]

For sure. They did a great job 👏

[@trevor_mounts_music]

Sounds great in Renoise if you want something fun and crunchy, works great in Reaper for my go to sampler. Timestretch is really cool - like having an akaizer you can automate. Goes from clean-ish and warm to ultra crunchy. For 12 bucks or w/e totally worth it.

[@joeydendron]

I like that "Interpolation on/off" feature. I had a Cheetah SX16 sampler back in the day and you could get more polyphony by turning off the anti-aliasing filters - it gave a similar "crispy EQ" effect and I started using it to brighten drum samples..

[@groovining]

Oh that's dope - i've never heard of the Cheetah SX16 - seems like quite a rare sampler these days. Yea turning the interpolation off really comes through with drums. That bit of bright distortion often adds a nice bit of character, especially when you pitch them down a lot.

[@Janomix]

marvellous !

Cheers mate :) ✌️

@@groovining I bought it for the chord memory, I've always wanted to do the one finger chords like they did back in the day. I was really pleased with the results but at the same time I have to be honest and I can't say I care much about the sample rate hard limitation but this is the first version and I hope they keep updating it.

[@groovining]

Saw that plug a couple days ago, it seems awesome! But it won't work without sample :) Where do you find most of your "gem" samples, personally?

[@groovining]

Honestly - KZbin. It's incredible, you just gotta start digging around. 💎✌️😊

[@Rr0gu3_5uture]

The internet archive has a bunch of classic 90s sample CDs in wav format. Stuff like Zero G Jungle Warfare, Blu Mar Ten etc.

[@discodalle]

i so in love with this plugin ! bang for the bucks and give me flashback to my childhood ..using it all the times ! atm my studio cumputer ´s motherboard burned down under a remix task and Amigo has been helping my keeping cpu down on my old laptop so i can still work .. its really like night and day when you play a single note on a cpu hungry synth / sample it and play it in amigo with chords and get lowfi sound as a bonus

[@groovining]

I love Amigo also :) It's dope and such a simple UI. Sad to hear your computers been down and out. Makes you realise how far they've come when your back on an old laptop! Nice idea about the RGB and the multi-output option would be cool also. I will pass on the info to the developers ✌️

[@blvksite]

what device are you using to map the break 1 and break 2 phase and then have them both on another knob??? thats so dope in ableton it wont let you control them independently once you map them to a macro!!! about 4:53 in

[@groovining]

In Renoise it the Inst. automation devices. They respond to different instruments so you can combine multiple of them into one Doofer (Macro device). One way to do this in ableton would be to map each to a midi controller individually. then map them both to another midi CC on the controller. 😊✌️🚀

[@ChuckSilva]

The sampler is super cool but your music is even cooler!! Would be awesome if you could breakdown how you made it or at least list the samples you used? Thanks!❤🔥

[@groovining]

Thanks mate :) I do a lot of breakdowns for this style on my channel - This is one of the most popular kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6XJoJSJjL54npI

@@groovining Hey George. Thank you for sharing the above link-im loving it. But what I meant was I would be very interested to see how you put the Amigo VST Walk through video together? (and I'm sure many others too) I'd love more info on what samples you used (I'll buy them :)) And maybe even the automation you used to control the Amigo samplers. I actually have been studying the 'Amigo' vid trying to figure out what you did to put it together. haha It's just a thought! :) At any rate thank you for being an inspiration!

[@ChuckSilva]

I know it's a huge amount of work-just a suggestion and I'll support your Patron when I can-also big ups to your crazy cool vids.....ok done with my obsequiousness! haha PEACE!

[@groovining]

Haha all good dude - Do you mean the video editing process or the just the music? I'm definitly going to do a breakdown of my full editing/animating process at some point as lots of people are asking for one. The automation I'm mainly doing in this video on on the forwards/backwards button in Amigo. Just automate it on/off with step automation. Also automate the phase control with breaks & the amount of glide for the bass. Glad you enjoyed the vids anyways :) 😊🌴

In samplers like this you need to pitch the loops to work at your project tempo manually. Like a DJ would :)

Thanks !

[@colinhoek]

Fucking love this plugin. Everything about it. Bought it immediately when it came out

[@groovining]

Yea its great - there working hard on updates also so lots more to come from these guys 🚀✌️

[@dreamphonix]

Thanks for the great review. I started using Amigo this week I love it. Question about mapping. I'm using the Alesis VI49 keyboard controller, but I don't know how to get the samples mapped to the pads on the keyboard. I haven't seen a mapping or midi learn feature on the Amigo UI. Any suggestions?

[@groovining]

You don't need to map as Amigo just uses the keyboard notes . i.e C1-C4. You need to find a way to transpose the pads on your keyboard controller to hit the right midi notes.

[@paulc7798]

The sub at the end sounded really good. Could you say how you made it? Thanks.

[@groovining]

Just a sine wave with a pitch envelope at the start for some punch. Then saturation to get it sounding fat :) ✌️🚀

[@vitaliiandronov8629]

nice outro track, is there a link? have decimort2, do i need amigo? probably yes because of chord & glide. but if we talking just about the sound?

[@groovining]

The track was really just a demo for this project so it kinda just lives in this video :) Decimort is different from Amigo. I did quite a lot of testing. Amigo was a bit cleaner actually with similar sample rates/bit depth. Just had less distortion which but still a nice crunch.

[@Jason-nx3hl]

Maybe I missed it but what exactly is the gate function for? Also when I use thru mode I’ll draw how long I want the note too play on piano roll and it doesn’t matter how short I make the note or how long the sampler will play the entire loop from where I sliced it on the sampler. Just getting into jungle producing and having a bit of a rough time 😅

[@groovining]

Gate is exactly that. With Gate on, drawing in a midi note or holding a key dictates how long the note plays for. With gate off the note just plays to the end of the whole slice when its triggered.

[@Jason-nx3hl]

@@groovining hell yeah I knew it! I figured that now I’m gonna try with thru on been loving this sampler! Also noticed that using the pitch makes the sample play back faster for me for some reason am I doing something wrong?

[@groovining]

This is exactly what happens when you pitch sounds up - they speed up also. The only way to get around this is through timestretching. DAWs like Ableton and Logic etc. have this function where you can manipulate pitch and time differently. But the old-school or natural way is how Amigo does it.

[@Jason-nx3hl]

@@groovining awesome thanks so much for the help I’ve been time stretching my samples first through fl studio and then loading then in amigo which works better for me also been having a ton of fun with it just practicing chops and what not love the poly mode, making pads is so easy and quick!

[@groovining]

[@emuthaslice]

Question…… how do you have 2 (or 3 for that matter) amigo samplers working on 1 track in renoise and have the samplers working in mono with each-other. Trying to figure out how drum hits from one amigo sampler can cut off my other drum hits in another amigo sampler 🤔🫣

[@groovining]

Just program them on one lane in Renoise with gate on. The lanes are monophonic in Renoise.

Yea I think it's great 2! The new version coming in the next month or so does have increased sample rates which is dope.

hi whats the old school tracker you are using ? Thanks

[@groovining]

Renoise - my channel is largely built around this DAW. It's the best modern day tracker ✌️😊🚀

[@anaisyourfriend]

Thanks for getting back to me , I mostly use a hardware sequencer but this looks right up my street . Thank you

[@groovining]

I have a Digitakt/Digitone & have used Polyend Tracker in the past. The sequencer in Renoise is a beast by comparison and super creative with all the Tracker FX, Step Automation etc. It also interfaces really well with hardware through midi/midi mapping/ midi macro's controls etc. ✌️

[@verlatenn]

why use a plugin that emulates the sound of old trackers instead of actually using the old trackers?

[@groovining]

For most people the cost & effort to setup and learn Octamed on an Amigo is too much. Far easier to have a plugin for £10 that gets you close to what you want. :)

[@verlatenn]

@@groovining what about the ft2 and protracker ports?

[@groovining]

I use Renoise which is bascially a combination of all the best parts of those old trackers. Amigo does it's best to emulate some of the 8-bit sound quality an actual Amiga. It's also just a dope sampler VST for £10

[@DJWhizzkidd100]

Sensibly priced too. Hopefully they sell a bunch.

[@Ufkatuale]

for this afordable price it's a nobrainer.

[@groovining]

I agree £10 is amazing value for what you get. The timestretch alone is so close to the original ✌️🚀😊

I'm having massive trouble getting amigo to work on MPC beats, anyone have any ideas???

[@groovining]

I haven't used MPC beats much but it should work just the same as any other VST. Does MPC beats let you load software instruments or just FX?

[@gtavkronikz6900]

Just got this🔥🔥🔥

[@groovining]

It's wicked - great for breaks ✌️🚀😊

[@Lotuz-mk1xv]

Do you have the right settings on Decimort 2?

[@groovining]

I spent quite a considerable amount of time A Vs B between Decimort 2 and Amigo. I would give it a go yourself. Decimort 2 without doubt introduces more distortion for a similar amount of filtering. I still love Decimort 2 but it’s interesting how clean Amigo sounds. :)

[@Lotuz-mk1xv]

@@groovining I would if there was a demo version. I wonder what pre and post filters the Amiga and Amigo use. When recreating the sound of other old samplers, I often have to change Decimort's filters to match the sound.

[@groovining]

@@Lotuz-mk1xv yea it’s interesting for sure. Amigo is using linear interpolation which is nothing special really. The main thing is that the sample rate is not real-time as it’s so CPU intensive. In Decimort it is. The Devs of Amigo think this may be why is so clean. I could match the filtering very closely to Amigo but Decimort 2 always added more noise and distortion to the signal for a similar amount of filtering.

[@poindextertunes]

Mannnn the first beats I ever made were on a Tracker Program 😂 I think it was called RTtracker maybe? Anyways that program in windows kicked off a lifelong obsession for me. Looking back I had no clue at the time where it would take me

[@groovining]

Yea it’s crazy how it all begins like that. Some shitty free/lite version of a daw when your 15 and then years later your still cracking away at it. I love trackers - specifically Renoise these days is the best. 🚀

[@poindextertunes]

@@groovining absolutely. great video man. subbed

[@groovining]

Thanks mate - welcome to the channel :) 😊✌️🚀

[@bernard12324]

Sir... i need that intro track asap...

[@groovining]

It was made for this video so has never really taken life outside. Would be a good one to go back and finish tho! :) ✌️🔊
