KORG DSS-1 Sample
Title link takes you to a KORG DSS-1 track - "Don't know yet." It was performed by Henry and mixed by daddio of tapewarm. There are some very interesting textures. The DSS-1 always fascinated me. You could draw your own waveforms on in by adjusting a slider over time. I remember playing with one once and was fascinated by the waveforms I could come up with. It's also said to have the best filter.

I have one here, but haven't had time to sort out 110v power for it yet. One of two recent eBay bargains - the other being a pristine Technics WSA-1 boxed and with manuals. Haven't had time to do anything with that either. Bugger bugger bugger.
ReplyDeleteSome company has to come up with newer samplers. Something with new ideas, something that can record by itself. Something with real analog filters. Kinda like a mix of ensoniq eps, korg dss 1 and others...
ReplyDeletedreaming is freee, huh ?
I guess they sell for so cheap because they are big and heavy. I think it's fair to think of it as the top of the DW-6000/8000 line. Obviously just because it's so old, it's not much of a sampler by modern standards. The disk load time is incredibly long and sampling your own sounds takes a lot of steps. But if you consider it as a ROM-pler with first rate real filters it starts to be really impressive. It does have the ability to quickly load non-sample data fast while retaining the samples you've earlier loaded into RAM.
ReplyDeleteI have one to, and getting it serviced as i post this message. Its a killer sound tool! I don't save the sounds, just sample them in my computer or sampler. Just like you would with a modular system.
ReplyDeleteLooking for a modern beauty? look for a spectralis. it does not sample by itszelf but you can download your samples in it thru usb. Thru Fat Analoque fixed Filterbank! Also a amazing instrument
