EMXP AND AWAVE STUDIO HOW TO
In this video, I show the basic functions available here - there are many tutorials on how to use the in-depth functions, which would take hours to show! Dre, DJ Premiere, Prince Paul, Vangelis, Digable Planets, A Guy Called Gerald and Asian Dub Foundation. Fatboy Slim, Moby, Skinny Puppy, Depeche Mode, Future Sound of London, Sneaker Pimps, The Bomb Squad, Dr. a 30 year-old device, it works perfectly and is still a tour de force in today's musicĮvery man and his dog used (and continues to use) the S950 in the studio:
EMXP AND AWAVE STUDIO SERIES
The Akai S950 - the second in the S series samplers (after the S900).Ī fantastic piece of equipment that changed the way music was produced. Sampling is done on my E-MU ESI-4000, Akai S1000 or Roland S-10. I use the Novation Mininova as a vocoder on all my tracks.Įffects are usually handled by Strymon and TC electronics. Yamaha DX7 and TX802 and drum machine RX11. My tracks pay homage to all synth.pop acts of the 80'ies like Howard Jones, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Thompson Twins, Tears for Fears, Ultravox, OMD, Euryhmics, Duran Duran, Giorgio Moroder, Jean Michel Jarre, Jan Hammer, A-ha and many more.Ī use mostly old gear on my tracks and among them Roland Juno 6, Alpha Juno 2, D550 and JX-8P.
The drum samples used in this tutorial can be downloaded here, but please subscribe to my channel in return :) The drums are the kit I make in the video of course. I play a bass on the Roland Alpha Juno 2 to the left and a brass-patch directly off the MiniNova to the right. The track I play live at the end is just some improv done at the spur of the moment. You can adjust the volume and pan for each one inside the S1000 though. In this tutorial they're all going out the main stereo out. The S1000 also have individual outputs and in a live situation I would break out the different samples to be able to control the volume, pan and effect send for each one. I don't go so advanced in this tutorial, but I'd be happy to answer any questions about it. With velocity you can then trigger different samples to create some dynamic changes, or you can layer sounds and further pan, adjust volume etc to create fatter kits. The S1000 can have 4 different samples on each keygroup.
If you know the S1000 well from working with it in the past, this tutorial might not show you something you don't already know, but maybe you'll pick up on something anyway. I show you how I build the program, define keygroups and set the samples up to be triggered off my Roland TR-626 or a MIDI keyboard. In this tutorial/workflow I show you how I usually sample drums from audio files into the Akai S1000 sampler for a live session/gig.
