Why modular sample players rock + patron sample pack (with 4MS Stereo Triggered Sampler)

  • Hi! Today we are going over the basic features of my favourite sample player, the 4MS Stereo Triggered Sampler. More importantly, we’ll have a look at some things I like to do with sample players. Like turning them into a piano or synth voice. We'll have a look at a few tricks to play chords and use textures and noise in your tracks.
    I also made a sample pack for $4+ Patrons with 100 samples I used in this video, and will get you started making tunes if you like tonal samples. There are some piano notes and chords, synth hits and loopable basic oscillator sounds. The pack is attached as a .zip in this weeks post on Patreon. / monotrail
    Here’s the timetable:
    00:00 - Intro
    00:51 - 4MS Stereo Triggered Sampler overview
    03:03 - Monophonic voice
    07:07 - Chords
    09:37 - Textures
    11:28 - Experiment

    Thanks for the upload! I teach electronics at university and I plan to make my students design a eurorack compatible sampler as a project. As I don't own one, your video gave me some insights on what CV input the sampler should get.

    Love the graphics! Have you considered matching the color standard from Patch & Tweak bible? yellow = audio, red = triggers and gates, gray = 1/V oct CV, blue = all other CV, green = random clocks.

    • @MonotrailTechTalk
      @MonotrailTechTalk  3 роки тому +2

      Thanks! Actually did :) Eventually went with these colours because I had the plan to be able to mach my graphics with the cables I use in real life, as I like those, but so far that's been to much of a stretch really. But now I think ill stick with it :)

    What do you think about the Erica Synth Sample Drum? I see you don't mention it, i like it by the fact it has a screen so you can visually know what you're doing

    • @MonotrailTechTalk
      @MonotrailTechTalk  2 роки тому +1

      Hey there! I love Erica Synths, all solid stuff. I focussed a bit more on longer recordings and non-drum tricks in this one, but the Sample Drum is great for percussive sounds. Especially being able to record and edit those recordings on screen.

  • @jonaseggen2230
    @jonaseggen2230 3 роки тому

    Haven't tried it yet but I suppose it would be cool to sample CV, like sequences or complex envelopes and then manipulate them with the Start, Length and Reverse and maybe even pitch?

    • @MonotrailTechTalk
      @MonotrailTechTalk  3 роки тому +1

      That would be cool! But I'm pretty sure the 4MS doesn't record/playback cv, but that's worth checking out!

      Erica Black Joystick 2 can record CV in the form of movements made with the stick itself. Super cool.

  • @walrtbstudios5430
    @walrtbstudios5430 2 роки тому

    I would like to have seen something on the Disting Mk IV as I’ve found it a little restrictive as a sample player- all samples are looped and there seems to be no way to trigger one-shots. Fortunately, I have an Erica Synths Sample Drum on the way…

    • @MonotrailTechTalk
      @MonotrailTechTalk  2 роки тому

      Yeah, planned it for some time, but it's complex. The Disting has (if i recall correct) four different sample modes. One is the looping style with playback speed. But there's also a one-shot mode and a mode with 1v/oct tracking. It's not the most acurate though, so if you like to do drums and tight sample stuff I think you will be very happy with the Sample Drum!

      How do you about recording your samples, what format, tools, mic's, I have a sample drum with a micro SD card, but struggle with transferring them to the SD, you think a Zoom recorder , just wondering quickest cheapest best & format,
      how do you recorded samples?

    great video but it's not fair at all to describe Nebulae as a 'happy accidents' machine together with Morphagene. quite the contrary, in contrast with MakeNoise's pseudo-experimental paradigm where they basically do not give you all the normal controls, and bunch a few of those together under a single knob with preset behaviour (like the morph does), Nebulae has all the basic sampler/looper controls exposed and those behave in a very logical and predictable way. this really allows one to be experimental if they so desire. and it's the same with 4ms modules, both STS and DLD and Tapo. on the other hand, MN really force users to constant happy (and often sad) accidents. Nebulae is also pristine sounding (well, within the Eurorack limited standards that is), while MN gives no shit about the noise floor. finally, both Nebulae and Morphagene are more loopers than samplers, closer to DLD in a way than to STS which is a sample PLAYER rather

      Hi there! Thanks for the update. Have to admit I wish I had time to properly explore and deep-dive with all modules! Hope it didn't come across in a wrong way though. I wanted to mention Nebulae and Morphagene as they are popular modules and interesting options! I use the straight-forward sample select options a lot, but other and or altarnatives are not less-valuable ideas :)

      @@MonotrailTechTalk surely not wrong, and generally your approach to videos is the most clear and educational. I just wanted to expand or correct for those who's got interested but could probably be little bit misguided. MN steals all the shows often ;) and I was sorta wrong myself to claim the N is closer to DLD, that's a stretch, beg a pardon. take care
