How to Jungle on the S-760 with Octamed
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 січ 2021
- Making Jungle on the Roland S-760 using Octamed on the Amiga 1000. Bring a set of loose fitting clothes and make sure all your various certificates are in order. Shout out to Rohan for his excellent work repairing my dead PG-300!
S-760 pros:
• Compact
• Cheap
• Multi mode filters are handy
• SCSI
• Lots of RAM
• Hi-Fi
• Does great things to an 808 kick. Euphonic bass response generally.
S-760 cons:
• Sample hierarchy is unnecessarily complex
• The input clips easily and in a bad way - no tasty input saturation
• Not that interesting, character wise.
• Low sample rate modes don’t sound that great
That Amen break is truly a hidden gem, I’m sure eventually it will get more attention!
🤣
Lmaoooo
Holy Christ..
lol
It may become overused. Over rinsed.
"could be a first, Amen Brother by The Winstons" I nearly fell off my chair XD
I cant stop watching this... As one of the 12 Americans that listened to Jungle in the 90s, seeing all the magic of how it was made in a short video is blowing my mind. Even watching you record all those samples, it didn't fully click until I speed up the playback speed to 1.25x.
make that 13 total Americans that listened to 90s jungle
@@famousarmystudio 14 ;)
lmao true story - but definitely by the late 90's / 00's, Id say the states had its own respected scene. I was fortunate enough to grow up through Toronto's explosion and collapse lol.
You must have lived under a rock because I spent most of the 90's going to raves all over the U.S....parties featuring every significant UK drum & bass producer and DJ imaginable...dancing with thousands of other Americans.
Best Buy had a hidden section of CD's pushed off to the side and many of them were from the Moonshine label, like Speed Limit 140 series which had some early Jungle songs. Then there was MTV Amp show on TV late on Sundays. Still remember seeing Goldie and Roni Size on it (later 90's). Also, there were radio shows such as Northwestern's WNUR Steetbeat, Q101's Extended Trip (though mostly a variety of genres from ambient Boards of Canada to big beat Chemical Brothers) airing afterhours in the Chicago area. Still have many recordings from tape. So yeah, if you stayed up late in the states, or searched past mainstream CDs, you would get to hear Jungle.
I’m impressed you have all these old breaks on 7”. That’s some serious collecting!
Glad someone else noticed. Probably collectively worth near as much as the synth hahaha
Can someone list them?
@@r00key
the record montage tracks are as follows:
The Winstons - Amen, Brother
Blowfly - Sesame Street
The Maskman & the Agents - One Eye Open
James Brown - Cold Sweat (pt. 2)
James Brown - Say it Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud (pt. 1)
James Brown - Funky Drummer (pt. 2)
James Brown - Soul Pride (pt. 2)
The Dynamic 7 - Squeeze Me (pt. 1)
Incredible Bongo Band - Apache
Lyn Collins - Think (about it)
I think the only ones I don't personally own are that Blowfly on TV album and the Dynamic 7 45.
@@buttguy thank you so much! ☺️
@@buttguy don't forget the first 1: Bobby Byrd; I Need Help (I Can't Do It Alone)
I love modernized DAW design and workflow, but I have mad respect for anyone that loves to do it the old-fashioned way!
I would die happy if I had made this tune myself... Its so raw, but beautiful, chaotic and abrupt, yet smooth with a flow! Born too late for partying in the 90s, this is exactly the essence of what jungle is for me! Dammit, this is a fine track!
The drum and bass workflow is just so satisfying.
I feel like that amen sample is going to be big someday
Yeah, and the original artists won't get didley squat.
@@nicknelson9450 yeah that is pretty tragic. They would have made many millions considering how many songs used the sample
really inspiring to see such an optimized midi-sampler-tracker studio. It so easy to end up with overcomplicated studios these days.
"if you're following along at home, I'll give you a moment to boot it up yourself" damn man I can only dream of having such a setup hahahahahahaha this video was AMAZING
This is one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen. Feels like you’re a time traveler, and I ended up in the right timeline
i love how this video is paced and edited, its like sitting in the room while you cook up
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on old school production techniques. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
What an interesting process! As someone new to the genre, I've never realised that the iconic jungle sound is triggering the sample again midway through its playback!
It brings back memories of the 90's here in Costa Rica
This reminds me of way back when Jungle was new and hearing it for the first time. Back when it was exciting and unlike anything I had ever heard before. Way cool.
I love that you can see where the break is more worn in on your Amen Brother record.
I think it’s more that the drum break is less dense sonically than the other sections that have all the other instruments playing.
Beautiful video.. love the classic hardware and relaxed delivery.
Gosh this take me back 30 years! Used it to play a few live gigs at the travellers parties
This is one of the coolest videos ive ever seen. Ive been tracking music all my life and i knew vaguely about setups like this but never seen it in action. All I can say is wow!
This is such a great video. I've been making dnb tunes for a while but with so many options available in modern DAWs it's hard to make something consistent with that "90s sound". The limitations of these older machines forced producers to innovate their sound within those limits, now it is so easy to overproduce.
three words keep it simple
completely agree, since 90's jungle was MAD popular on the PlayStation and really blew it up in the US. Really can't replicate it now less you use older hardware.
just use the same samples? its mad easy to replicate lol what are you talking about?@@S.N.A.F.U
@grizboz not the same feel. trust. unless you're using hardware emulation with the same timing it won't be the same as using a tracker. think namco's sound design team, door to phantomile and R4
bro you are nit picking, you can easily get the same sound out of most modern samplers or even a sampler VST (most of them do emulate old hardware in the settings you can choose which). There are even modern trackers and tracker software you can use if you are that much of a hipster. you keep telling yourself there is a discernable difference. or you can stop making excuses for yourself and make some real music with the plethora of free tools and samples that are readily available. Hell you can just buy a cheap playstation and sample directly from it if you are that obsessed. Even if you still think you can tell a difference your audience will not be able to.@@S.N.A.F.U
This is incredible. The setup alone is truly inspirational and the process through making the track blew me away
I can only add the same kindness that everyone else is saying, that this was incredible. It'll take me next to forever to get to this point.
I work on a DAW. Was born ages after jungle was created. This is by far the coolest thing I have ever seen.
Idk how this took me 2 years to find but I’m glad I did. Genuinely orgasmic sounds coming out of that machine. And the editing was beautiful. Genuinely a joy to watch. You’re awesome. Thank you for sharing this with us.
ahhhh the resulting track induced a cascade of interactions trickling down my nervous system hydraulically gripping every muscle fiber of my body with pure energetic joy. great work!
Dude this is so good. Such a great setup and tune
this whole set up is so beautiful
As impressive as this is, I think im even more impressed with whoever programmed Octamed in the first place... insane amount of control.
It’s pretty great.
You can thank Teijo Kinnunen (and indirectly Karsten Obarski) for that. There's a great bloke on youtube called Ahoy that has a video all about the history of trackers and the demoscene called "Trackers: The Sound of 16-Bit", i recommend you check it out.
This is soooo beautiful.... Truthfully a art mastery that in today's days, is well forgotten!!! well done!!
this is exactly the kinda session i needed to see
always nice to see setups like this
You may onto something there with the track from the Winston's. 😊
Amazing video. It's so cool to how you make music. Very inspiring.
Yoooooo, that was sick! :D ... These old softwares are fascinating to watch! Thanks for sharing!
loved the beat switch ups in this track! sick set up. nice to see some oldhead content as a new fan like me. keep up the tunes!
Exciting times seeing old school jungle making a comeback.
This is so sick man. Proper vibes through and through.
By far one of the absolute coolest videos out there -- I have it saved so when I get the money enough to buy all this dank gear, I know what to do with it
I didn't grew up with these kind of technologies, but I am definitely going to start using them to create this kind of stuff. Thanks for inspiration!

Incredibly expensive way to get into the hobby but go off
@@KingPhilipsRideshare Some of this kit is a bit expensive. I’ve spread the expense out over many decades and got a lot of stuff when it was more affordable. Certainly all you need for this sound is a cheap old laptop, a copy of Renoise/FasttrackerII/Protracker, and perhaps an internet connection. I hope no-one thinks this is necessary.
This was a great video, I always had some appreciation for digital music composition but it just went to a new level. Truly amazed
Thank you very much for that work!
I fell in love with this crazy drums the first time I heard it on one single radiostation that played electric music, in mid of 90s 🙂 But at that time it was difficult to find any record on post-USSR countries, and I recorded the broadcast on a cassette
Masterclass lesson ! Great , superb , dreamy result ! Respect from Greece !
This is too dope... I am so jealous of your entire setup
Magic early 90s DnB producing. Lovely video editing. Subscribed
This is awesome. Such a great sampler. (I've been looking to pick one up) Interesting having the twin platform / twin interface setup... both with their solid use cases. Critical timing and ease of sequence on one.... and tight sample editing on the other. Wish my EMU had a display out!! (built in screen is quite drab)
Love your vids CTRIX64! Glad you’re back in the game. Gotta get my act together and get back to making vids too
S760 prices rising with every word you speak. Nice one 😎👍
Wobby it’s sooooo cool to see this still getting love - from your fellow cowgirl of flaming oblivionxxxx
Cheers Jules! Love you my brother!
@@Samplers I’m gonna take this opportunity to let the good peeps of the toob know that their host here @Samplers is, in my opinion, one of the DOPEST rhythm programmers out there…. please never stop hitting stuff that makes percussive bloops. Ok?
So happy I found this video....the start to get ready.... instantly subbed. Addicted after all 7"...
Absolute fire. Thank you for sharing this and making that track.
This is a true renegade. One minute in and ge breaks the number one rule or recording no liquids by the gear. Your wild and crazy kinda guy.
Only god know how much I like guys like you casually doing there things, drinking tea, chilling. I swear mate keep chilling ! Love 🫶🏾
thank you for sharing your flow!
What a great work you did!!! Jungilst MASSIVE!
wonderfully put together video and song
Great song! And man....what a nice setup (even the telephone).
Cool shit. I thought the screen was just a visualizer type of thing at first. I can't believe this gear being used and the sound is bad ass. Really cool video
whoa! great job! what a blast from the past :) brings me back to my fasttracker times. damn
so epic! learning heaps from these vids, keep them coming :)
Nice rack, bro! This is a great topic. Good job keeping history alive.
That was amazing!👏🏽 keep it 🆙
This video should be preserved for future generations.
Damn cool setup my guy. I may not even be into this genre that fully but I love me some vintage equipment
Dude. what a video holy shit. Thanks so much for the treat!
This takes me back, damn I love this, Amiga 1200 linked to my Separate's HIFI making my mothers ceiling rattle with my 8 speakers set up xD, Lucid Dreams, Acid House and Loads of other great Amiga Tracks, Keep up the great work man!.
Yeah I was an Amiga kid too. The fanaticism is hard to shake.
Loved everything about this vid...especially the Roland PG-300. Track was pretty good as well. Peace
your setup = chef's kiss
Very cool video! I would really enjoy it if you could upload more regularly showcasing this stuff
Will hopefully be getting back to it soon
Such a cool and relaxing video!
Big ups to the oldskool setup, A1000 as well, super rare. Best era of music if you ask me, sounding decent.
really awesome presentation and track dude!
Amazing video and track!! Thanks 🙏🏻
Hey mate just found your channel, need to release what you made at the end that’s a banger.
Greeting from a fellow Aussie
Such an awesome setup man ❤
this is absolutely incredible ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
How much does it cost to heat your house per year? Because you're SO FREAKING COOL!
I started playing with trackers when I was 13, and not knowing anything about synths or samplers, I always wondered how people would put the tracks together from zero (until I was much, much older!).
Seeing it done in 2021 on OG is the best! Love it!
Please make more videos, and make a Patreon so we can support!!!
Wonderful video! Couldn't stop watching.
Killing it! My new fave channel
Pretty awesome i bet very few took music production this far back then its still beautiful today
Big tune!!!! Thank you for the great vid!
Not a bad little tune mate, I'd blast that out with the windows down. Well done
I don't even produce nor listen to jungle but really enjoyed this!! Amazing.
Thanks @ghettoent!
Splendid work 🧐
Your use of Amen Brother by the Winstons was truly revolutionary.
🤪
You’ve gotta release these songs you make! I would listen to them on the daily
no idea about the equipment, no idea what u do there, but the outcome is sooooo super dope!
Such a good sound. Impressiv!
I really need a crash course on samplers for dummies, especially this S-760. I want to learn about it and hear more from the s700 sample library, but for whatever reason no one will tell me anything about how to sample sounds with that, where you can get sounds from, etc. The quality sound from these is as good as stuff I hear today
Don't ask people for information on how to sample, just take it from them when they're not looking. This guy has a great vid on sampling with the S770 (same process). Watching this video is just like stealing the information from right under his nose. ua-cam.com/video/RMnUYMwD0Mc/v-deo.html
That's a wild statement when there are countless videos plus you can download the PDF manual for free. Just shows such a stark contrast from when people had none of these resources but they would learn the machines they had inside and out and make amazing music with them. It all comes down to how much you want to do it. Don't give in to A.D.D.. The entire Roland S series sample library can be found for free online if you know where to look. There is just so much available to people nowadays but people are so lazy they can't even be bothered to put in any effort. This is why music sucks now.
I subscribed the moment you poured yourself a cuppa tea. That's when I could tell you know what you're doing.
a bit of a track is an understatement sir, please do more videos
Loving this so much.
Ha, the second before you corrected that chord, I was thinking he will put it on 48, Tracker thinking hehe, nice work.
Outstanding brother! 👏🏻🤘🏻👌🏻
The crackle works so good.
Brilliant thanks for sharing - would love to see some more sampling on the s760 please for us newby sample heads trying to figure this way of working out 😂😊 thanks
Listened to lots of dnb lately that I got a tutorial video about it. Good stuffs!!
I really think you’re on to something there with that amen brother by the winstons.. could be gold that
I dont understand like 95% of whats going on there/how to do it but the outcome is brilliant and so interesting to watch ❤
This made me miss the old days of mod trackers. I used to love impulse tracker and spent untold hours of my youth writing tracks just like this
This is dorky. I love it. God bless brother.
Simply said- this Video made ma Day. Thank you very much 😉
