Secrets of the E-mu SP 1200 with Creator Dave Rossum @superbooth 16

Alles was ich schon immer über die E-mu SP 1200 wissen wollte konnte ich den Erfinder der Kult-Drummachine Dave Rossum auf der Superbooth 16 in Berlin selber fragen. Weitere Videos rund um das Thema Recording: www.musotalk.de

[@ScottWozniak]

Mr. Rossum genuinely seems like an awesome guy. Huge fan of his work for 30+ years 👍🏻

[@eafloe]

5 years later....THANK YOU, MR. ROSSUM!!!!!!!!!!!

[@alstreetrapbeatprofessiona4659]

The sp1200 was not made for hip hop it just was a drum machine the people from the hood made this machine hot flipping sample and got real create after we made this sapling machine hot this machine sold like hot cakes thanks to mr Rossum for the development of the sp1200 you made a lot of bother's rich. Like I said this machine was jut for bands who didn't need a drummer but remember the hood made this machine good🤑!

[@gunsandsynths]

Big facts

[@betheall4822]

Much respect!

[@RobertoGinsburg]

Thanks to *CED GEE from Ultramagnetic MCs* for popularize the SP-12 in their singles "Ego Trippin" and many of BDP debut ("Criminal minded" album 1986).

[@DXARECORDS]

it only takes 10 minutes to save on the 12 via commodore, loading is a little faster. sorry i love the 12 so i had to stick up for it. great interview! thank you to dave rossum!!!!

[@robertsyrett1992]

This is one of the most specific interviews I ever watched.

[@DroppedandSkrewed]

DAVE U ALREADY CREATED PERFECTION WE DONT NEED MORE INVENTION PLEASE I CRY EVERYTIME I SEE SP

[@smokey5100]

And fast forward years later and he's releasing a new SP-1200!

[@DeepSociety]

There is the sp 1200, its the original and its a historic machine and even if its been remade or whatever. The sp 1200 will always be the real deal

[@awkwardsquadproject]

Non-eric - thank you very much for THE interview every sp1200 head wanted to hear 👌

[@tomford1376]

so humble, so smart, so inspired, so real. what a gift!

[@gieaudio8762]

Great interview! I think the remake of SP1200 with original circuits and stuff would be something that would totally sell nowadays, especially if you're monitoring prices of SP1200 for past few years. The demand is huge, so are the prices. Is it even possible to start talking with Dave about crowdfunding this project?

[@Mattia_22]

We should contact him!

[@niklasgindler4571]

they are out of the original chips, thats why they stopped..

[@timojackson9930]

You've asked and now WE received in Nov 2021. Thank you...

[@gieaudio8762]

And here we go! I've just ordered a new Rossum SP 1200. Dreams are coming true folks :)

[@mano123456]

"sample is good... SAMPLE IS GOOD!...yes... I like that"

[@Howler]

I only wish they would have touched on how hip-hop producers used the 1200 for more than just drum sampling as it was intended; or how bass filtering was invented using the filtered outputs, etc. But Dave Rossum didn't seem to be aware of much more than the importance of the machine to hip-hop--understandable, of course, considering his age. Little did he know that J. Dilla--one of the greats on the instrument-- was the artist whose beats were released with a cardboard SP-1200. And the interviewer was so excited to even be interviewing the guy that he probably forgot a lot of questions he would have asked if he were more composed. I can just see him kicking himself on the way home. All that said, this was an incredible interview! Two real Menches!

[@YoungDirtyMexicanOfficially]

WAS THINKING THE SAME THING, especially when he mention dilla at the end.

[@lordg3803]

Now it's Back. Crazy.

[@dhampex3631]

To the great creator pleeeeeease resurrect it!!!! SP forever!

[@lordg3803]

Go pre-order it. It's out.

[@lilakmonoke982]

[@extraniceness]

And he said MP3 2000! 😆

[@WaxDat8800]

So yes… he is bringing the 1200 back.

Good interview. Good enthusiasm. I was hoping for more technical detail questions but it seems the SP-12 schematics are out there and someone has reversed engineered the Z80 code already? Any good clones, alternatives?

[@MrScrooge1980]

Low Hiss and S2400

[@truelionofjudah4097]

thx to isla instruments for realising the S2400 and dont get me wrong but fu mr rossum for not manufactoring a SP1200mk3 but selling renewed SP1200 for moon prices (7500$). money greedy guy...jus my opinion.

SOMEONE SHOULD MAKE AN E-MU SP1200 LIKE MACHINE!!!! THERE ARE OTHER REPLICAS OF OTHER OLD AWFUL MACHINES OUT THERE..So.. WHY DONT THEY MAKE SOMETHING USEFUL!!! Geez...

Oh no, so my MINT R-8 is a piece of crap :(

[@bdw0lf]

+Andrew Piatek I have to agree with Hans on this i'm afraid. When the R-8 came out I was recoding an album and the producer/studio owner loved it. In my track it sounded like someone banging on Tupperware , all the sounds in the mix sounded over bright and some how flat at the same time. I got into a massive argument and I lost a week of recording time over it .. In the paraphrased words of Brian Eno it will aways be an antediluvian piece Of junk. If you love it yourself then do something great on it .. more power too you:)
