I remember dreaming about a 16bit sampler when i had an Amiga back in the days… Funny to see that people now buy plugins to go back in time! I wish i had never sold my Amiga 😢
Yea for sure! Everything got a little too clean/robotic and now people want all that old school grit & degradation in the sound. Sad you sold your Amiga 😢. Hope Amigo can be a new friend to help you through the loss 😊
I made my first music with different trackers on my Amiga500, back then. It is so nice to have this back in the box today. This plugin sounds absolutely awesome!
Big ups Dario! :) I had to really with the 8-bit style, so fun! I snuck somehting in at 6:24 & 6:35 I was particluarily proud of 😊 I've honestly been loving the plugins to massive congrats to you guys! ✌🚀
Sounds great in Renoise if you want something fun and crunchy, works great in Reaper for my go to sampler. Timestretch is really cool - like having an akaizer you can automate. Goes from clean-ish and warm to ultra crunchy. For 12 bucks or w/e totally worth it.
Cheers Dennis! :) Was such a fun video to make. I love the theme - might do everything in 8-bit from now! Amigo is amazing - glad you've gotten into it also. Hope your well mate ✌️😊🚀
Of all the plugins I bought for the last year (and probably longer), this is by far the one I'm most excited about. It just drags me to it. The intuitiveity of the UI, the feeling, the sound. Makes me want to use all the expensive plugins and hardware I have, sample them and drop them into amigo. It sounds so gorgeous and the workflow just clicks with me. I think for the last project I haven't used a single track without it ^^. So good
I agree! I mean the UI is just amazing to work with. It's so simple and easy to navigate - actually makes a huge difference compared to other similar plugins. I've been loving using it for the last week or so ✌️🚀😊
I like that "Interpolation on/off" feature. I had a Cheetah SX16 sampler back in the day and you could get more polyphony by turning off the anti-aliasing filters - it gave a similar "crispy EQ" effect and I started using it to brighten drum samples..
Oh that's dope - i've never heard of the Cheetah SX16 - seems like quite a rare sampler these days. Yea turning the interpolation off really comes through with drums. That bit of bright distortion often adds a nice bit of character, especially when you pitch them down a lot.
@@groovining I bought it for the chord memory, I've always wanted to do the one finger chords like they did back in the day. I was really pleased with the results but at the same time I have to be honest and I can't say I care much about the sample rate hard limitation but this is the first version and I hope they keep updating it.
Just found a really great pop-up second hand record store with a large selection, on the top floor of Hatfield Galleria, for anyone in the area. A few seconds searching revealed loads of 90s dance, including Anthill Mob Black Rushin EP. Tons there to sample or play. Wish i’d had longer, but he says hes back Nov 2nd and every sat in December I feel somebody needs to hear this 😅
I love my hardware samplers ❤️ but this could well have an impact on people thinking about going the Amiga -Octamed/protester route. For £10 and none of the hassle it’s great. 😊 🚀
This is a realy great sampler the logical upgrade would be to to have it go up to the Modern sample rates and keep the clasic rates as well ,Tal sampler does that then it could be your ful goto sampler But hey I do luv it its great
Yea I think it's great 2! The new version coming in the next month or so does have increased sample rates which is dope. I haven't used Tal as much as I'd like as both Renoise & Logic have great in-built samplers. Amigo is where I go for everything else these days as the UI is so easy to work with :)
The sampler is super cool but your music is even cooler!! Would be awesome if you could breakdown how you made it or at least list the samples you used? Thanks!❤🔥
@@groovining Hey George. Thank you for sharing the above link-im loving it. But what I meant was I would be very interested to see how you put the Amigo VST Walk through video together? (and I'm sure many others too) I'd love more info on what samples you used (I'll buy them :)) And maybe even the automation you used to control the Amigo samplers. I actually have been studying the 'Amigo' vid trying to figure out what you did to put it together. haha It's just a thought! :) At any rate thank you for being an inspiration!
I know it's a huge amount of work-just a suggestion and I'll support your Patron when I can-also big ups to your crazy cool vids.....ok done with my obsequiousness! haha PEACE!
Haha all good dude - Do you mean the video editing process or the just the music? I'm definitly going to do a breakdown of my full editing/animating process at some point as lots of people are asking for one. The automation I'm mainly doing in this video on on the forwards/backwards button in Amigo. Just automate it on/off with step automation. Also automate the phase control with breaks & the amount of glide for the bass. Glad you enjoyed the vids anyways :) 😊🌴
what device are you using to map the break 1 and break 2 phase and then have them both on another knob??? thats so dope in ableton it wont let you control them independently once you map them to a macro!!! about 4:53 in
In Renoise it the Inst. automation devices. They respond to different instruments so you can combine multiple of them into one Doofer (Macro device). One way to do this in ableton would be to map each to a midi controller individually. then map them both to another midi CC on the controller. 😊✌️🚀
Thanks for the great review. I started using Amigo this week I love it. Question about mapping. I'm using the Alesis VI49 keyboard controller, but I don't know how to get the samples mapped to the pads on the keyboard. I haven't seen a mapping or midi learn feature on the Amigo UI. Any suggestions?
You don't need to map as Amigo just uses the keyboard notes . i.e C1-C4. You need to find a way to transpose the pads on your keyboard controller to hit the right midi notes.
The track was really just a demo for this project so it kinda just lives in this video :) Decimort is different from Amigo. I did quite a lot of testing. Amigo was a bit cleaner actually with similar sample rates/bit depth. Just had less distortion which but still a nice crunch.
Mannnn the first beats I ever made were on a Tracker Program 😂 I think it was called RTtracker maybe? Anyways that program in windows kicked off a lifelong obsession for me. Looking back I had no clue at the time where it would take me
Yea it’s crazy how it all begins like that. Some shitty free/lite version of a daw when your 15 and then years later your still cracking away at it. I love trackers - specifically Renoise these days is the best. 🚀
Maybe I missed it but what exactly is the gate function for? Also when I use thru mode I’ll draw how long I want the note too play on piano roll and it doesn’t matter how short I make the note or how long the sampler will play the entire loop from where I sliced it on the sampler. Just getting into jungle producing and having a bit of a rough time 😅
Gate is exactly that. With Gate on, drawing in a midi note or holding a key dictates how long the note plays for. With gate off the note just plays to the end of the whole slice when its triggered.
@@groovining hell yeah I knew it! I figured that now I’m gonna try with thru on been loving this sampler! Also noticed that using the pitch makes the sample play back faster for me for some reason am I doing something wrong?
This is exactly what happens when you pitch sounds up - they speed up also. The only way to get around this is through timestretching. DAWs like Ableton and Logic etc. have this function where you can manipulate pitch and time differently. But the old-school or natural way is how Amigo does it.
@@groovining awesome thanks so much for the help I’ve been time stretching my samples first through fl studio and then loading then in amigo which works better for me also been having a ton of fun with it just practicing chops and what not love the poly mode, making pads is so easy and quick!
Great video Groovin g windows defender didn’t like it but right mouse click keep anyway extract to desktop then go to which version ie Mac /win extract to common file vst folder then worked ,It didn’t like the vst desktop folder renoise wouldn’t see it but worked in the program files (notx86)common files Big up for the video and to the makers
having a weird issue with mine, just purchased it and using it on ableton, dropped a sample in and i play a key it keeps playing to the end of the sample and doesnt stop when i lift off the key and i cant change the colour of the sampler. weird
Question…… how do you have 2 (or 3 for that matter) amigo samplers working on 1 track in renoise and have the samplers working in mono with each-other. Trying to figure out how drum hits from one amigo sampler can cut off my other drum hits in another amigo sampler 🤔🫣
@@paulfrieda6486 I use raum by native instruments and H-Delay by waves. They are pretty much my go to delay/reverb. A great free delay is ‘deelay’ which is similar. Valhalla vintage verb is a good alternative to raum. But I love the air setting on raum :)
@@groovining nah the audio is in there too my bad if I didn’t explain well. So far I’m am able to get sound if I go to piano roll but I can’t just press space to run the track in amigo. I’m having difficulty with getting the slices to actually run in play back too
@@andreslugo6660 The track won't run in amigo. You will trigger it via midi from the piano roll & play from FL. Same as the slices - then will go from C2 up the keyboard I think the default is.
Akai timestretch, sample start/end modulation. Sample rate reduction, true 8 bit. There is a lot of cross over and Renoise is better for most things with all the tracker FX but Amigo still has value for sure 😊 🚀
I have a Digitakt/Digitone & have used Polyend Tracker in the past. The sequencer in Renoise is a beast by comparison and super creative with all the Tracker FX, Step Automation etc. It also interfaces really well with hardware through midi/midi mapping/ midi macro's controls etc. ✌️
For most people the cost & effort to setup and learn Octamed on an Amigo is too much. Far easier to have a plugin for £10 that gets you close to what you want. :)
I use Renoise which is bascially a combination of all the best parts of those old trackers. Amigo does it's best to emulate some of the 8-bit sound quality an actual Amiga. It's also just a dope sampler VST for £10
@@grooviningAha! I have tried Renoise though but my first impression was that there was too much going on. It was too overwhelming for me so I stopped. The way it's displayed here, looks nice though.
@@ArtersaThanks for the input! I used Fasttracker about 20 years ago. I also have to be honest that I didn't have the patience the time I started up Renoise. Then yesterday I found this VST. Then later I booted up MilkyTracker to see some of my old tracks and I got inspired again. Time to get into Renoise.
Renoise is epic - learning curve is a little tricky for lots of people but if you've already used trackers I'm sure you'll pick it up super fast. I made this series for people getting into the program - ua-cam.com/video/Qwfnvs5pIcM/v-deo.html
I spent quite a considerable amount of time A Vs B between Decimort 2 and Amigo. I would give it a go yourself. Decimort 2 without doubt introduces more distortion for a similar amount of filtering. I still love Decimort 2 but it’s interesting how clean Amigo sounds. :)
@@groovining I would if there was a demo version. I wonder what pre and post filters the Amiga and Amigo use. When recreating the sound of other old samplers, I often have to change Decimort's filters to match the sound.
@@Lotuz-mk1xv yea it’s interesting for sure. Amigo is using linear interpolation which is nothing special really. The main thing is that the sample rate is not real-time as it’s so CPU intensive. In Decimort it is. The Devs of Amigo think this may be why is so clean. I could match the filtering very closely to Amigo but Decimort 2 always added more noise and distortion to the signal for a similar amount of filtering.
Who needs friends when you've got an Amigo? 😅
Amigo - friend program
With this VST I am never alone!
😂🤣
😂😂😂
best 10 pounds I ever spent, I was having a bad day, bought the thing and ended up making 3 tracks in the same day
Sheesh!
Does it come w the breaks?
@@jn1346 no, its just a sampler
@@jn1346no but you could just download breaks from anywhere
This VST has really blown up in certain circles, good to see.

Yea its wicked - UI is killer. Glad people are enjoying it as much as me! ✌️😊
UK junglists -Avoid the extortionate £2 VAT charge by buying a flight to New York, downloading it at the airport, and coming back on the next flight.
They can get rid of the VAT simply by voting. My guess is that they like it otherwise it would change.
Sounds great in Renoise if you want something fun and crunchy, works great in Reaper for my go to sampler. Timestretch is really cool - like having an akaizer you can automate. Goes from clean-ish and warm to ultra crunchy. For 12 bucks or w/e totally worth it.

Yea for sure. I know a few people have been asking about this. Am back next week so will get on it then :)
In the meantime I’ve watched a Renoise tutorial and will have a play around, be interesting to see a deeper dive on how you used it with Amigo
It actually works great with Amigo - will see what i can rustle up 😊✌️🚀
Could you tell me where is the 1st screen labelled Drum Breaks is linked to? Is it part of the app or another program in Amiga?
How do loops sync to rest of Ableton project?
In samplers like this you need to pitch the loops to work at your project tempo manually. Like a DJ would :)
I really hope Machine Girl is aware of this, the music they could make with this could be phenomenal
Yea it would fit with their sound perfectly! 😊✌️🚀

having a weird issue with mine, just purchased it and using it on ableton, dropped a sample in and i play a key it keeps playing to the end of the sample and doesnt stop when i lift off the key and i cant change the colour of the sampler. weird
'Gate' mode will turn that on and off. Colour thing im not sure about.
Question…… how do you have 2 (or 3 for that matter) amigo samplers working on 1 track in renoise and have the samplers working in mono with each-other. Trying to figure out how drum hits from one amigo sampler can cut off my other drum hits in another amigo sampler 🤔🫣
Just program them on one lane in Renoise with gate on. The lanes are monophonic in Renoise.
@@groovining new to renoise 😞. How I turn gate on a track? 🫤
@@emuthaslice Gate in Amigo. Program on one track in Renoise
@@groovining agh 🫠. Got you 🫡
Hi Groove in G, what Reverb and Delay have you used? Thanks for reply. :)
@@paulfrieda6486 I use raum by native instruments and H-Delay by waves. They are pretty much my go to delay/reverb. A great free delay is ‘deelay’ which is similar. Valhalla vintage verb is a good alternative to raum. But I love the air setting on raum :)
hi,what was that tracker u used? and how to connect it to this plugin? is just midi ccs you are somehow sendig via it?
I use Renoise. To use the Plugin you just load it as a VST software instrument and send midi to that instrument.
ive been struggling to get this on ,y FL studio
any suggestions
Should work fine whatever DAW your using. The biggest thing I think people have is dragging the vst3 into vst folder rather than vst3 folder.
can you please do a tutorial on how to install it? Ableton is not reading it somehow :(
You've got to make sure you drag VST3 in VST3 or VST to VST. seems to be the problem most people are having :)
how do you get the Amigo sampler to play? It shows up in my VSTs on FL and i can pull the program up but it won't play
You need to drag audio into it. I think you need to look up what a sampler is :)
@@groovining nah the audio is in there too my bad if I didn’t explain well. So far I’m am able to get sound if I go to piano roll but I can’t just press space to run the track in amigo. I’m having difficulty with getting the slices to actually run in play back too
@@andreslugo6660 The track won't run in amigo. You will trigger it via midi from the piano roll & play from FL. Same as the slices - then will go from C2 up the keyboard I think the default is.
Yeah I was bugging 😬😂 I didn’t realize the slices would register from q through p on the laptop keyboard. It’s cause I’m not using a MIDI
@@andreslugo6660 Glad you got it sorted 😊✌
Are there any features that you don't get from just stock Renoise?
Akai timestretch, sample start/end modulation. Sample rate reduction, true 8 bit. There is a lot of cross over and Renoise is better for most things with all the tracker FX but Amigo still has value for sure 😊 🚀
Bought this wicked bargain a few days back. Am I right it thinking you can't stretch a loop to the actual DAW tempo?
you do it the old school way :) using pitch and finetune by ear u match the sample to DAW tempo
@@stekker1 cool, thanks for this amazing vst.
@@stekker1 you could time stretch all the loops you want to use beforehand to the same BPM. Then bounce each loop to a WAV and put them into Amigo.
@@forestsunset9617 ofcourse that works too :)
hi whats the old school tracker you are using ? Thanks
Renoise - my channel is largely built around this DAW. It's the best modern day tracker ✌️😊🚀
Thanks for getting back to me , I mostly use a hardware sequencer but this looks right up my street . Thank you
I have a Digitakt/Digitone & have used Polyend Tracker in the past. The sequencer in Renoise is a beast by comparison and super creative with all the Tracker FX, Step Automation etc. It also interfaces really well with hardware through midi/midi mapping/ midi macro's controls etc. ✌️
I'm having massive trouble getting amigo to work on MPC beats, anyone have any ideas???
I haven't used MPC beats much but it should work just the same as any other VST. Does MPC beats let you load software instruments or just FX?
why use a plugin that emulates the sound of old trackers instead of actually using the old trackers?
For most people the cost & effort to setup and learn Octamed on an Amigo is too much. Far easier to have a plugin for £10 that gets you close to what you want. :)
@@groovining what about the ft2 and protracker ports?
I use Renoise which is bascially a combination of all the best parts of those old trackers. Amigo does it's best to emulate some of the 8-bit sound quality an actual Amiga. It's also just a dope sampler VST for £10
Yo, what program in that on the left at 6:45?
Renoise :) My channel is largely based on making music in that program. It's a old-school style Tracker :)
@@grooviningAha! I have tried Renoise though but my first impression was that there was too much going on. It was too overwhelming for me so I stopped. The way it's displayed here, looks nice though.
@@iShredStreetsIt’s great. It is overwhelming AT FIRST, but I think any DAW is. Once you dive in and accept it for what it is, it rocks hard.
@@ArtersaThanks for the input! I used Fasttracker about 20 years ago. I also have to be honest that I didn't have the patience the time I started up Renoise. Then yesterday I found this VST. Then later I booted up MilkyTracker to see some of my old tracks and I got inspired again. Time to get into Renoise.
Renoise is epic - learning curve is a little tricky for lots of people but if you've already used trackers I'm sure you'll pick it up super fast. I made this series for people getting into the program - ua-cam.com/video/Qwfnvs5pIcM/v-deo.html
Do you have the right settings on Decimort 2?
I spent quite a considerable amount of time A Vs B between Decimort 2 and Amigo.
I would give it a go yourself. Decimort 2 without doubt introduces more distortion for a similar amount of filtering. I still love Decimort 2 but it’s interesting how clean Amigo sounds. :)
@@groovining I would if there was a demo version.
I wonder what pre and post filters the Amiga and Amigo use. When recreating the sound of other old samplers, I often have to change Decimort's filters to match the sound.
@@Lotuz-mk1xv yea it’s interesting for sure. Amigo is using linear interpolation which is nothing special really. The main thing is that the sample rate is not real-time as it’s so CPU intensive. In Decimort it is. The Devs of Amigo think this may be why is so clean.
I could match the filtering very closely to Amigo but Decimort 2 always added more noise and distortion to the signal for a similar amount of filtering.
Sir... i need that intro track asap...
It was made for this video so has never really taken life outside. Would be a good one to go back and finish tho! :) ✌️🔊
cool
Just got this🔥🔥🔥
It's wicked - great for breaks ✌️🚀😊
