Ensoniq ASR-10 | Ensoniq EPS16 | Ensoniq EPS. CORRECT WAY TO CHOP.

[@unc1589]

Here’s what I like about this video. 1- You have the guts to say “everybody’s wrong!” That can so easily be true. I watched them all and you’re right. 2- That “same pitch” before assigning chops usually comes in at 29:42 in ASR videos. As if it’s not totally important. 3- You playback samples through FX instead of dry. Without overly explaining the “FX SECTION”. That sparks ideas for me because I rarely use ASR FX. Just filtering/EQish editing. I’m still new so this video hit me right. Thanks my dude!

[@MGtheProducer]

New videos soon. ASR 10 content 🎉

[@micinput]

That was a great damn tip. I never looked in that pitch table thing and that is going to save me so much time fixing pitches.

[@CC-fi3pp]

You don't even need vinyl on a machine like this the sound of the sampler alone is sweet. The ASR-10 is a gem to.

Brother, thank you so much for this video, I just took possession of an EPS classic and this video’s helped me out big time. Would love to see more on the EPS. 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@showbread9366]

God bless you. That is a 💎. I stopped chopping on this, the classic eps & the asr 10 because it was so cumbersome. This is a decent compromise now to consider! Good looking bro 🤙

[@lawrenceonethree6872]

Thx dude. Been looking for a good tutorial of this method.

Thanks so much man!

[@maxhotsalad]

Oh yeah this is great thanks

[@pascaldeshayes5459]

Thanks a lot for the tips! I run into issues when trying to chop stereo samples on the ASR, even with "stereo link" engaged. Any recommended workflow?

[@unk5859]

Ive been baffled by these asr10 chopping vids. I do exactly what I see on the video and "NOPE! that didn't work". This video was much better. I wanna see the video that breaks it down into quick sections. The HOW first. The WHY second. The REST later. "TO CHOP. EDIT-LAYER=NO PITCH" (no commentary on other options in that window. Next). Then the error section... "if this didn't happen check this". Thing about this unit is that it remembers what you did in the previous window (like when the playback pitch was too slow). The viewer has to know how to recover from that as you did. If not..... Frustration! Otherwise best video so far. I like the fact that you said that most other videos were wrong. It made me realize that I'm not crazy! As for the ASR10 (ADVANCED SAMPLING RECORDER), Its still the deepest hardware sampler on the market and does more useful sample editing than any other. This thing is a beast.

[@MGtheProducer]

I will be doing more eps videos

[@teotammivuori3209]

And if You're in a hurry, don't bother with copying wavesample parameters and finding keys for them, just take one wavesample and map the keyboard to sample start and adjust mod amount. Then You have it chopped across the whole keyboard. Just remember the: pitchable = no pitch!

[@lgpatterson6259]

Can you elaborate? Specifically how do you go about this ?

[@flamezearljonez7927]

You gotta explain this Bro

[@pascaldeshayes5459]

Ah! That's very clever, actually: by choosing the keyboard as the mod source for the sample start, each key going from the lowest C to the highest should play the same sample, only with a different starting point.

[@pascaldeshayes5459]

...which could be seen as some sort of lazy chopping, only with more randomness (and potential good surprises!). I'll definitely try it, thanks!

[@jaytonkash]

keep this great content coming bro salute.

[@MGtheProducer]

Thank you. Appreciate you watching

[@n-spired]

I prefer to set the layer on legato without a glide time and the release to 99. no you can play the chops mpc style. They play infinite by hitting they key shortly and they cut of each other.

[@pascaldeshayes5459]

Does this produce the same result as using the "finish" amp envelope preset?

[@immobilarity1]

thats good to know, thanks for this video

[@MGtheProducer]

Anytime. Thanks for watching.

[@ResearchSoundLab]

What are you using to input the sound from your laptop into the EPS 16+? Thank you for the video... great tip!

[@MGtheProducer]

Just a interface

[@blakasmurf]

My EPS 16+ disk drive died haven't used it in years... But it's forever my favourite sampler because chopping using Params and not making copies of the Wav meant you could have 61 chops and waste no memory. Blew the MPCs of the era away in my opinion

[@MGtheProducer]

Get a scsi board

[@blakasmurf]

@@MGtheProducer Gonna get all the boards tbh! Flash, Memory and SCSI. It's my mission to bring it back as the my main board from now! Got it back to life with a USB Floppy drive!

[@AlexanderWare3]

Pretty wild how simple it is to integrate and jam with a sample on this. Most samples aren't that fun to this day. Have any recommendations for a budget option with this kind of workflow?

[@ToniJXN]

@mgtheproducer is it possible to save the Program wit my wave sample for example 8 pieces. And then to delete my sample, record a new one and still have 8 WS but just have to edit my start points o work quicker?

[@MGtheProducer]

@@ToniJXN in the ASR X you can.

[@kannon3979]

Nice!

[@fallingmanjutsu]

looking forward to more videos on the EPS 16. cheers , Oh and please try to get the camera angle above the keyboard so we can see what you are doing more clearly if possible. Cheers

Hey how do you connect the ensoniq to the computer What cable you use and can you use it for the audio interface please me tell me step by step

[@GunsAndGloves]

Hey, MG. I tried this method on the ASR-10 (keyboard), but it's not working for me. 1) When I change the pitch table to "No Pitch," it increases the sample up an octave from the original root key. 2) When I "Copy Wavesample" > "Copy Params Only," it creates the new wavesample, but it only plays the newest wavesample. When I press the key for the 1st wavesample, it shows WS1, but no sample is played.

Just sampled from my interface into the eps 16

[@dammiblahblah3918]

Hey I do edit layer and after no pitch it gets pitched down a bunch do you know what’s happening

[@RoshiAi]

Late reply but nevertheless....When you switch off the Pitch Table the sample will play back on the root key that you set it initially. If you pitch the sample back up in the PITCH menu you'll be good I think.

[@pascaldeshayes5459]

@@RoshiAi Is it possible topitch an entire layer?

[@RoshiAi]

@@pascaldeshayes5459 Yes, it is. When you set LYR=A SAMPLE=ALL and go to the PITCH page and change the ROOTNOTE every sample will transpose relative to their rootnote.....but....this will happen in every layer.

Actually no need to do what you did. You can just edit pitch of each individual key later on.

[@MGtheProducer]

That can take a very long time if you have 64 chops

[@analogcrunch4716]

@@MGtheProducer also some producers want different pitches on the different keys. I mean it is relevant what you are saying but not gospel.
