[@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 😊

I made my first music with different trackers on my Amiga500, back then. It is so nice to have this back in the box today. This plugin sounds absolutely awesome!

[@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.

@@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]

Cheers Troy! Yea it's wicked - amazing UI - heaps of fun to be had! ✌️🚀😊

[@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.

[@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 ✌️🚀😊

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.

[@ArgentIcon]

[@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.

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. I haven't used Tal as much as I'd like as both Renoise & Logic have great in-built samplers. Amigo is where I go for everything else these days as the UI is so easy to work with :)

Hi Groove in G, what Reverb and Delay have you used? Thanks for reply. :)

[@groovining]

@@paulfrieda6486 I use raum by native instruments and H-Delay by waves. They are pretty much my go to delay/reverb. A great free delay is ‘deelay’ which is similar. Valhalla vintage verb is a good alternative to raum. But I love the air setting on raum :)

[@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. 😊✌️🚀

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 :) 😊🌴

'Gate' mode will turn that on and off. Colour thing im not sure about.

[@jakubberan2720]

hi,what was that tracker u used? and how to connect it to this plugin? is just midi ccs you are somehow sendig via it?

I agree actually. I quite like it too! Not too much though. Just a smidge 😊 🚀

[@DJMAYOMBE]

How do loops sync to rest of Ableton project?

[@groovining]

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

[@TachyBunker]

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?

[@stekker1]

the fun in sampling is finding your own :) vinyls, radio, youtube, spotify where ever !

[@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.

[@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 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.

@@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.
