"This is a project page describing the progress of my current 220C quarter project. The Emu SP-12 is a sampler/drum machine unit that was released in the 80's. It allows the user to sequence loops using either internal drum sounds or sounds sampled into the machine. The machine allows for a total of 5 seconds of sampling time, which is separated into two banks of 2.5 seconds each. After sampling a sound into the SP-12, the user is able to edit the length at both the start and stop points, the tuning of the sound, the decay of the sound, loop points, and also are able to send the sound through an analog dynamic filter.
The goal of this project is to develop a program that allows the user to input some .wav file, and get back a sound that sounds like it was sampled by the Emu SP-12. This project is both a study of modeling equipment through circuit analysis/testing, and a study of why the dirty sound of the SP-12 sound is so popular."

Cool reading ! love that way he/she describes modeling technics
ReplyDeletebtw what also makes a big difference is the volume while sampling.
