chopping up vinyl with the Yamaha SU700 and Akai Force

[@GeorgeL909]

I love these kinds of videos. Sample chopping is still something that I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing and I just pick random start and stop points with no real rhyme or reason and hope it works. I love seeing other people's workflows amd concentration faces.

[@StephenMcLeod]

Hey, so long as it works!!

[@chambre466]

Thanks!

[@StephenMcLeod]

Thanks so much!!

[@elretsof1606]

Excellent and some cool retro sounds ! Plus you’re way better than me getting samples into Logic lol - kudos

[@StephenMcLeod]

The Force makes it easy thankfully - I just export the stems! With the MPC 2500 I multi-track record out with them MIDI synched. I still default to mixing in Logic no matter what I create with. :D Thanks for watching!

[@elretsof1606]

@@StephenMcLeod yes I too always default back to Logic - it’s my warm pair of slippers 🤣👍🏻

[@TronDawg]

Thanks for sharing. Grateful to see the workflow. Best of both worlds ✨🎷✨

[@StephenMcLeod]

Thanks for watching!

Damn that Papetti record is FIRE! Really dope flip, too :)

[@StephenMcLeod]

It's a pretty strange one!

[@wiggesobk]

Awesome work man! That record is fire!🔥🔥🔥

[@StephenMcLeod]

Thanks a lot for watching!!

Top chops, absolutely bangin

Hey thanks!!

[@HankTVsux]

I'm a big fan of the fisheye lens.

[@StephenMcLeod]

Thanks! I like to screw around with different perspectives. Glad you appreciate.

[@EkimElectro]

It’s a keeper. I love it.

[@StephenMcLeod]

Thanks a lot!

[@gabrieldonl2311]

I was interested in the workflow and process of the su700 but didnt see what you actually did on it otherwise then recording the sample.

[@StephenMcLeod]

sorry

[@gui_saba]

lovely stuff

[@StephenMcLeod]

Thanks!!

[@awkwardtom]

I can still hear your voice whilst reading the captions ain't that weird? and also cool! 😎

[@StephenMcLeod]

Just wait until you hear my ASMR spinoff.

[@allanroney]

That was fun 🙂

[@krazywabbit]

Did all that fucking about in 3 minutes? Yes, you are incredible. Carry on.

[@StephenMcLeod]

I can fit a lot of fecking about into a very short space of time

[@chambre466]

love you man

[@StephenMcLeod]

Hey thanks a lot!!!

[@digitalsouthofficial]

good old SU700, i loved it, but the potentiometers are pain in the ass, had to replace mine 3 times and they kept giving up. very unfortunate. it´s such a cool device

[@StephenMcLeod]

They are. Mine are fine, but I know it's just a matter of time. One of the pots on my Yamaha A3000 has gone wonky and it's a real pain.

[@aguycalledbunny5186]

That's the Soul Train theme!

[@StephenMcLeod]

omg so it is. Well spotted!!!

[@Qilowhat]

Yo what’s good, I copped an su700 but I cannot figure out how to sample through the analog input please help

[@StephenMcLeod]

I won't be near my su700 for a while and it's tricky to explain quickly. Have you checked the manual?

[@Qilowhat]

@@StephenMcLeod yea but no luck

[@StephenMcLeod]

You need to select one of the banks then use the sampling start button on the top right. Select the various options and hold down the button for as long as you want to capture audio... From memory that's the rough process anyway!

[@Qilowhat]

@@StephenMcLeod damn I’m thinking my sampling button might be shot too then. I’m on the main screen, and my sample button just doesn’t work. Does nothing. The resample screen will start up but same thing when I press start on the sample button no recording happens

[@StephenMcLeod]

@Qilowhat you need to set the bit rate etc first before it will start. It can be confusing. I would test it to confirm but I won't be back with mine for a while!

[@mih868]

The 3rd song is literally a copy of the soultrain theme

[@StephenMcLeod]

Not literally. And I had literally never heard it before.

I can't find one now so what would be an good alternative to the Yamaha SU700

[@StephenMcLeod]

@@listentotheanimalscreamsha1511 Yamaha A3000 rack mount unit has the same kinda effects.

[@hellf.o]

First!😂 Stunning!😮

Dubious cover? Don’t be daft lad.

[@StephenMcLeod]

It was of a time

[@cubecubesson6779]

Really cool cover

[@AllThatsGone]

I think the algo is punishing you for switching subjects. Maybe consider starting a second channel for the video content. I had to search for you and am catching up on the last month or so now.

[@StephenMcLeod]

Thanks for watching! Yer probably right, though I'm honestly not too bothered. The prospect of having to maintain two channels is more effort than it's worth. I really just view KZbin as a creative outlet, and don't want to fall too far down the rabbit hole of second guessing the algorithm. Down that path lies madness!!
