EP-133 KO II - Hip Hop Beat from Anime Vinyl (Workflow)

[@Mindartcreativity]

Masterpiece! 🥲I've been playing the guitar (metal and punk) for 17 years but I also love lo-fi and chillhop and watching your vinyl sample flip videos makes me really want to create such music too! I appreciate the live breakdown of the different parts, makes it easy to understand the whole process for a noob like me. I wish you a wonderful start into 2024!👌🏽

[@vvlvmusic]

Thanks for the kind comment! Guitar music (metal and punk, too) is where I come from as well. And I’ll always love that. But this is such a nice balance to it. Have a great start into 2024 as well and I hope to see you around 🙌🏻

[@Mindartcreativity]

@@vvlvmusic That's so awesome that you have a background in guitar and heavy music too. I agree it's a nice balance. And thank you, I'll definitely be around!

[@NotoriousEDC]

Similarly, I've been learning the guitar and mostly playing punk but also grew up listening to hip hop as well. So I just wanna mess around with this and have some fun making beats, or even practice guitar over it instead of a metronome. Great minds 🤙🏻

[@vvlvmusic]

@@andrewisrael5383 the bass is a stock sample from the EP133

[@E4RLIES]

Don’t forget the table is also teenage engineering too probably 😉 Asides from the distraction of material stuff …the music!! ❤❤🎶🎶🎶🎶❣️❣️❣️ Lovely creation 🫶🏼

[@izzymonkey]

To choose a Yamato OST record is simply inspired! And that BASS. 😮 Having a K.O. II myself, I can attest that it sounds amazing, as you demonstrated here. I haven't made a video with mine yet, but you've inspired me to get on it! Cheers for sharing this.

[@vvlvmusic]

That’s the kind of comment that makes my day. Thanks for the feedback, truly appreciated. This little box is awesome, just working on a little Silent Hill flip for the next video ✌🏻

Wtf nice u me make cry 😢 this Sound s Remembers my when i was young n Hip Hop or Rap Was insane SMOOTH LIKE UR FLOW GREAT JOB ❤

[@vvlvmusic]

Awww man, lovely comment. Glad you get that old school hip hop vibe from it. I grew up with 90s Rap and I think my favorite is still Temples of Boom. So dark and moody and smooth.

[@JohnA.305]

Just ordered an EP-133, can’t wait to start using it. Love your page man, keep it up.

[@vvlvmusic]

Thanks for the kind words :) And have fun with the KO, that thing sparks fun.

Cool, more Yamato! Great song, very inspiring.

[@vvlvmusic]

🩵 thanks! Gotta say, it DOES slap 👋🏻

[@jj0b]

Star Blazers!!! Was one of my all time favourites growing up in the 80s.

[@vvlvmusic]

Really? That’s awesome, seems to me like it wasn’t that popular compared to other shows of the time. 🫡

[@jj0b]

Not sure how popular it was, but it was on TV in Victoria, BC, Canada where I grew up in the 80s, and I watched the whole series. It was the only exposure to anime that I had back then. Not sure how it would hold up, but I loved it as a kid. Definitely sparked my imagination and love of sci-fi. Super fun to hear some of the music again! Thanks!

[@vvlvmusic]

@jj0b thank you for listening and sharing :) wish I had seen it as a kid. It wasn’t until the 2000s and the internet that I found out about the show.

[@joshwright3014]

I loved that show as a kid growing up in the Bay Area. On UHF 44 I think

[@TheLavadiver]

@@joshwright3014 yep TV 44 at 3:30 pm. I remember running home from school as a kid to catch it in time in the bay area.

[@vvlvmusic]

Stoked for you! It’s really fun to mess around with, I like it A LOT.

[@sadlantis]

That's the sample I would have gone for too ha! This is the second video I've seen that's made me want an EP 133 and I haven't wanted any new gear in ages. This looks like bags of fun. That last 20 seconds was beautiful.

[@vvlvmusic]

Thanks! Yeah that sample spoke to me. Also the EP 133 sparks joy in a way that I haven’t had in a while. It’s very immediate and a bit weird with some quirks and strange workflow to get used to. If only they will add resampling. That’s what’s holding it back a bit imo.

[@Icedout4real]

Love how you chopped the Sample! Amazing Beat!!

[@vvlvmusic]

[@NotoriousEDC]

Man your beats are so good. Would love to see a tutorial how to make a simple beat for beginners. I have one of these coming this week- I'm super hyped to create something 🙌🏻

[@vvlvmusic]

Thanks for the kind words, means a lot to me. I do want to make a tutorial for the KO but I haven’t found the time yet. There are quite a few great ones out there tho. And I still might end up doing some form of beat workshop.

[@NoiseCommander3DS]

2:00 what is resampling?

[@vvlvmusic]

Taking something from the project (like a beat, a group, a chord from several sounds/notes) and render it internally to a single sample. So you save voices (12 mono/6 stereo is the max amount of samples at the same time).

[@JaydenLawson]

@@vvlvmusic ahh gotcha, so you're "re-saving" what has already been made by the Sampler to a new sample. Hopefully TE will add this as a software update
