    I have this machine to create tracks in logic.
    I also use my TD3 to sequence random sounds in non-phonic form.
    This machine is a bit better than the SU10 and has the same inherited things, although the SU10 sequencer is what makes the SU10 interesting, as it has midi in/out and can be used with a midi keyboard to make interesting compositions with very short sounds, I use this thing with these same minimal techniques.
    I actually bought this machine to sample and play sounds with it over basic instrumentals and add some low fidelity.
    There are many things I love about the SU200.
    I like the live performance tricks, ways of playing and with only 6 FX stacked you can process voices recorded on the sampler, these FX are great.
    Another thing I really like is the ribbon, although it looks like crap it isn't, it even has shortcuts to edit a loop easier.
    I don't know what the tap function is, but once I discovered that I could match the BPM of a beat on the audio signal input, it's really useful for sampling the source after measuring the beats of the beat you want to sample.
    I love the resampling it has (resampling in 1996 is always a great thing)
    It's an 8-track looper, I can make a minimal techno beat and make things transform into something else.
    It doesn't have a looper mode, it's not a loopstation, but it's a looper that can program very easily with 8 tracks of a song created in a DAW with the same BPM.
    And finally, the sample CD that comes in the box, it's a gem!
    This thing shines the most next to the sounds on the CD it comes with, with its rhythms, loops, synth sounds, voices and effects, it has everything and it is an audio CD that I highly recommend, it was created by AMG (advanced media group) for Yamaha, a great producer of classic samples rescued from the 80s and 90s, really this CD is a great value for the machine, and just with this you can do many ideas with a DAW in 2024.
    Yes, I know that some think I'm exaggerating, but I've had it since 1996, I bought it before the MC-303, I love these cheap things from the late 90s, they are designed for improvisation and now with modern DAWs I barely need virtual plugins to make music.
    The machine needs to be investigated and if I've learned anything with it is that depending on the person it can be a disaster or a genius.
    If anyone has this thing and is disappointed, I'll just tell them not to sell it, it's worth more than it seems, it's an underrated machine and above all very underrated. The CD has great instrumental value and the sampler has good editing functions, it also has a chromatic mode where you can play keyboard sounds and samples with rarities.
    It's true that it has the same pads as an SP404, it's very similar in that and it also reminded me of the Electribe.
    If you want to combine modern sounds with low fidelity sounds to do things like trip-hop, down tempo, 2 step drum and bass, jungle, house, techno... this machine is great, it all depends on how you use it, really this machine was used a lot in the records of the late 90s and 2000s, because it was a very instant machine, thought a lot to play live, even with a midi keyboard you can play great things, capturing things from the radio, you don't need a big team to do great things.
    In 2024 I sample stuff from internet and analog radios, I always turn it on with Logic Pro and it's all fun sometimes I'm surprised by what I can do with those moments where I'm exploring radio stations and then playing sounds that I find.
    It's a small sampler that has its good virtues, and the simpler things are on the SU-200 the better the results are.
    Thanks for the video, don't sell it seriously, no one will give anything for it and if you lose it you'll lose a hardware sampler from the end of the 20th century, a machine with multi-effects and a programmable looper. 😅👍👍

    • @shanebrandonjohnson
      @shanebrandonjohnson 9 місяців тому +2

      @@re-sampled Yes, though each color in the electribe series is an entirely different instrument despite the similarities in the interface. The original 3 include the red ER-1(drum synth), the blue EA-1(2 voice mono synth) and the green ES-1(sampler). Each had an MKii release in different colors but in my opinion are not impressive enough to justify the increase in cost on the second hand market. There was also a slew of grooveboxes designed in the same electribe format but none of them are as powerful, in my opinion, as the original three (especially when used together).

    I have spent a lot of time with the Zoom rythmtrak AR-48. Its despised and vanished after flopping. Its a sampler with impressive sequencing capabilities. It came with strong quirks and looked like a wii toy and that translated to the community as an unusable gimmicky device. Which it was not, it was pretty decent.
