Hey Guys-Apologies for the Delay....been trying to sort out a
heap of stuff..anyway...the
good news is:here are the samples !-chopped into 4 sections...and shared with you all !!..
..the bad news-(well..for those of you who were interested..) is that its been sold !!!
I'd advertised it locally as well and a guy came round to check it out last night and left with her under his arm..(who BTW didn't have any problem paying £140 for it...).
But I did promise u'all the samples so here they are anyway-hope they will be of interest..If any of you do like the sound of it PM me and I can put you in touch with the guy who bent it.
The samples are from a 20 min file cut up into 4 sections-so each one follows onto the next...admittedly its a shit load of bent SK1!!!.. but I couldn't be arsed to edit it-or more to the point decide what to edit...I've already faded out bits which went on a bit and cut out the gaps-as you may hear..so there was in fact MORE..!
It's going through a DI then straight into the computer-there are no other FX/processing (other than a little compression on the master buss-to even out the dynamic range a little),no layering/multitracking,and no loops-other than what the machine is doing itself...Just one track of me fiddling about.If you can't take listening to the whole 20 mins (..and hey,wouldn't blame you..) but want to get a good overview maybe listen to the start of each section...but the whole thing is pretty varied and I tried to give a good taste of its sound creation possibilties...(still came away thinking there's so much more to hear..)..
I've not really used any of the unbent SK1 sounds-which of course isn't the point of this-and so its virtually all using the bends and various combinations of them.I've also just used the bends with the onboard sounds-haven't sampled in anything.
@WWint:..mmmm.. I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.I can't speak for the other SK1's you've used but please listen to the files from this and tell me if you honestly think that the bends are doing only what you describe.If you really think that they're doing "nothing...that it (..I take to mean an unbent SK1) can't do with a sample" I would be amazed..and hey if you can get your SK1 to do
that then you need to give me a tutorial !!! I agree in part that bent SK1's (and bent instruments in general) can be prone to randomness-but thats part of the beauty of the beast...
'Useless' ??...."a complete waste of time"..?..for what??,for who????..Its
what-it-is...If you're judging it as a sampler or a straight keyboard then I think you're kinda missing the point...If I want that kind of thing I'll go to my 950/MPC/JP8/Q etc...but none of them does what this does.-(which is why I'm keeping the other one!!!!).
Didn't really get your final point-(....so..should I just accept rash,sweeping statements if I post stuff for sale here???..)-but appreciate the heads up...chrisso covered the rest(cheers mate).
Anyway thanks for the patience guys-hope you enjoy..or they at least..er..satisfy your curiosity..
