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 🤙🏻

[@justinentz-ip7bl]

Ive been thinking about using these type of machines this or sp404 to make grindcore slam beats type stuff really raw sampling old metal albums etc. im 43 by the way been playing guitar 25 years

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 ✌🏻

[@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.

[@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.

[@GoomusicLtd]

Love it! Pls make more videos like this😊

[@vvlvmusic]

Actually already working on the next one. I am just super slow 😅 Thanks for the comment, much appreciated

[@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

[@Icedout4real]

[@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.

Are these all stock samples? And I feel like they will add resampling since so many people want it and this is selling so well.

It certainly isn’t a high end turntable but the cartridge is decent, as is the tracking force. Especially for a setup like this I like it a lot but for serious listening sessions I stick to something else :) hope that helped.

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
