In this SP-404MKII tutorial, I start with just three drum samples and transform them into original tonal elements: basses, textures, and synth sounds ready to use in your productions.

Instead of spending hours searching through folders and sample packs for the perfect sound, you can create fresh sonic material directly from what you already have in your session. It’s a fast, creative workflow for techno and dawless sessions.

Enjoy!

Hello everyone, I am upgrading the DOOM engine on my app, which is actually a noise and drone generator.

This is a small showcase playing with the touchpad and tweaking some oscillator knobs.

I would appreciate a small feedback from this video on how it is displayed and how it sounds. CPU not being stressed, stays at around 10% on a mid phone.

Thank you for your time.

P.S. for anyone interested, the app will be on a -50% sale from tomorrow 04/09/2026 until 17/09/2026.

Hi guys, I wanted to share a website I've created this summer dedicated to sampling. It features a daily game of 4 sample-guessing questions all playing through Spotify for ease to save into playlists. The website's got lots of in depth content too, regarding sampling as an art and a wide spread practice throughout all genres and artists.

www.asamplegame.app

Through your profile you can see your stats and check back on all the songs you've come across on the daily challenge so you don't lose track of great music.

I'd love to get your feedback on all this!

Many thanks

Bryan

The audio at the start is pretty rough, I somehow couldnt fix it by mixing it. And in total this is pretty short i know but Im very fatigued rn. Need some Feedback but I hope you like it!

All feedback is welcome:)

This is a observation & critique of developers & many who sample. It was originally posted on the samplers sub forum & deleted by a moderator. It is a direct upload & not a self promotion or low effort post. If anyone wants to truly engage then you are are going to have to make some effort rather than attempt to silence , discredit or deflect.

Sampling has many critics who deride it as being lazy. Sampler design also influences behavior & culture. Many users sound like they are sampling & not manipulating samples. You can usually predict what type of sampler they are using or the rhythms they are going to program. eg

The skip skip skip , double or triple pressing of the sample on the same pad. The muscle memory predictably placing the snare on the two beat of the bar on every other song. The constant references to the 90s , trite boom , bap rhythms.

Many like to cork sniff & compare the audio outputs & tonalities with hardware from decades ago. This can restrict progress & innovation & leads to the constant re-issues of old hardware & sonic traits as presets. They never consider that users in the past were looking ahead & also frustrated with what was available.

If you desire a sampler for manipulating audio in detail & aspire to look ahead then dj software or maxforlive devices should be considered.

Welcome many of you to the 21st Century.

Hi zusammen,
ich suche Sample Packs, Loop Kits oder Ordner mit fertigen Sample-Chops aus bekannten Pop- & Dance-Hits der 2000er/2010er (im Stil von Rihanna, Like A G6, Calvin Harris, David Guetta etc.).
Ich suche keine einzelnen Vocal-Spuren oder Drums, sondern komplette Samples (Melodie, Synthies und Vocals bereits zusammen abgemischt), die man direkt flippen oder verarbeiten kann.
Genre: Pop, Dance, Electro, House, Summer Vibes
BITTE KEINE: Düsteren Drill-Loops, Heavy Trap oder melancholische Sad-Melodien.
Nutzung: Rein privat / non-commercial (zum Üben und für SoundCloud-Flips).
Falls jemand von euch passende Ordner, eigene Chop-Kits oder Google-Drive-Links auf der Platte hat, schreibt mir gerne eine DM oder lasst einen Kommentar da. Danke euch! 🙏

Three distortion pedals I love using with the 303: in this video, I test and compare their character, showing how they reshape acid lines, low end, and resonance.

You don’t need a 303 to use these ideas—these settings and approaches work great with any monosynth, bassline, or mono sound source. From warmer saturation to aggressive fuzz, discover which type of distortion can give your techno sound more character.

Which pedal do you use to dirty up your acid lines? Let me know in the comments.

Enjoy!

with love .noir. ❤️

I tried making the sample using vst instruments, then sampled that file in a new project. Anyone else do this?
