Those cheaper, smaller samplers back in the day had something that's missing on all the new stuff... Character. I still rock a Roland MS-1 (pre SP202), a Yamaha SU-10 and a Korg ES-1. Nothing can replicate that "crunch on the outside, soft in the middle" flavour. The ST-224 is no exception and can still hold its own.

@@shaunkeram I took my SU10 on holiday with me last year. Batteries last a long time. I got a a free midi sequence app on the phone (G Stomper Rhythm), a cheap usb midi cable to sequence the SU10 from the phone. Good fun! All 3 of those samplers are getting a bit expensive. Roland has the better sound (and also runs on batteries) Zoom has the fx (I don't think it has battery power though), and the Yamaha is the best all-rounder imo. Whichever you choose, the setup should be the same for some mobile sampling and jamming.

I think at one point I knew that commercial by heart. And word, I've got one of these. It sounds great. Once you get used to the fact that you can only trigger samples as gated and that it doesn't respond to velocity, it works pretty damn well with an external sequencer. You can even sequence changes to the effects, both the parameter values and what effect is being used. I think that's the best way to use it

At the time of release everyone was trying to make products that had the best "clarity" but like five years later it went the other direction with the "grit" thing. It's weird to me cause this happened in the rock and roll world too. In the 80s and early 90s everyone wanted clarity but after grunge and the death of hair metal every one wanted their shit to sound like old broken tubes. The jcm 800 lead was THE amp to get. Anyway I liked this thing a lot largely because I was in highschool when it came out in most of my time was spent with metal heads. Metal bands loved this thing cus it to let them cue up and mess with samples that they'd play as an intro/interlude for their songs. Samples of horror and gangster movies were super common at the time. It was well loved in that community cus it was cheap to rent/own and you could throw it against the wall and it would still keep going so it was perfect for touring.

I've seen some of your Vids and have owned many of the samplers... Had many old school samplers and sequencers YAMAHA RS7000, Roland SP606, Yamaha SU700, Yamaha Rx1 sequencer etc.. and out of all my old stuff I've sold them all but kept my Zoom St242 + Boss Dr202 drum machine. The Zoom st242 is brilliant and fun and really easy to use and chop samples. It's quick to work with and the effects are crazy. They call it the poor mans Sp1200 for good reason. Yes the midi sucks and the sequencer sucks but the fun, experimentation, and sound you get from it is fantastic. The prices of these second hand have really shot up since I got mine. The pads are really nice and it does have lots of features. I've thought about selling it sometimes but just can't part with because it's so easy and fun to use. I still find myself playing with the ST242 for making quick beats and small tracks. I'm super glad you did a review on this. It's a well slept on device but getting more popular and sought after. I was once interested in the Yamaha SU200 too but never got round to trying that. Maybe you could do something on that one too.

I have a sampletrak, in great condition, the smart media cards for them are very expensive though. The poor man’s SP-1200.

I know a guy who uses a zoom but tells people he uses a sp 1200 LOL.... I let the lie continue but when he tells people i just give him that eye, i can tell from a mile away that isnt the sp sound but hey it makes him happy. Eventually i will blackmail him into buying me a chop cheese or something so i dont snitch

Here's the problem with Zoom products. They work well, but the look is always terrible. They all look like toys. If they built them to look like the MPC or Sp 1200, they would have sold more and be taken seriously. They are just cheap looking and feeling. The buttons are awful. I had a drum machine and digital recorder from Zoom. The button went really quickly. Maybe one day they will get it right.
@DyReckProductions3 жыл бұрын
Oh dang!..You would think they would be more well built. There microphones and recorders were usually solid.
