What can I say, this guy is a true English producer. Working class, weed smoker? I think ! True jungle producer. 10 / 10. Keep it up, come back with more vids and go dark
I remember buying one of these off eBay when I was in high school back in 2000 as one of my first pieces of MIDI gear. Combined with an Alesis MMT-8 sequencer gifted to me by my head shrink I became a lo-fi industrial music machine. The thing was so dead simple it made me grok sampling almost instantly. I eventually upgraded/downgraded to an S900 which was also amazing and much more professional, but nothing could ever top the instant productivity I had with S01.
An incredible video. It makes you appreciate all the work the Deejays and producers used in the 90s to create all those stabs, beats and loops, Altern8 DJ Tango & Liam Howlett must of spent thousands of hours just sat sampling arranging and chopping all those sounds we still enjoy today
Great video, great to see the s01 in action again. I had one back in 1993 I think it was, my very first sampler, sometimes I wish I still had to mess about on. I upgraded to the s2800 after this, loved them both :-)
Great video, actually far more informative than a lot of "tutorials". Would love to see you walk through making a song with the s01 - not a live jam, actually walk us through your creative process e.g. - sampling your breaks/bass/etc - chopping the breaks and basses up, creating hits/reverses/crashes - keymapping your chops - sequencing your chopped breaks and other elements with modern DAW/AtariST/whatever p.s. your fingerdrumming at 22min mark is AMAZING!
Love this! Getting on on Tuesday, and I wanted it because of its simplicity and how much fun it is to use. Once I heard somebody say the S01 is rubbish for chopping breakbeats. At 22:51 you prove all those people wrong! I love jungle and breakbeats as well so I'm looking forward to experimenting.
They are great fun and yes very simple. And don't sound brilliant but I like the gritty texture it gives the sounds due to being 32kHz Sample Rate. Again start points of samples is tricky to trim as you have to do it by ear, but again that either lends to the 'OldSkool' sound, OR pre chop elsewhere before you put it in the sampler! Glad I could help. :) Enjoy!
Also, I've seen people only use the s01 for drums...but you took that to the whole new level and made elements for entire songs on this. You pretty much nailed this piece of equipment and you've actually inspired me to experiment and just have fun with it.

HI Jay, I need to do a 'how to' video on this thing! But for the drum samples I had them all set to the same Midi channel and then spread them across on different keys using the 'midi keyrange' function. Other samples I just set to 1 midi channel and left the keyrange to span across the keyboard.
Dope video! I’m intrigued by this sampler! I like the fact it’s only 8 buttons something like the SP1200. I read this machine is multitembra to. If you use this with a keyboard 🎹 like in your video using midi how do you save your sounds so it will automatically pull back up?
I think the S1000 has the same Lo-Fi quality but also has timestretch? So you could get the same kinda sound from the S1000, difference being that you can kinda see what you're doing! Also the S1000 goes up to 44.1kHz where the S01 is only 32kHz.
@Chris SweetLeaf please do a tutorial of the S01 workflow creating a beat from start to finish including sampling and DAW sequencing, u are the only person here on UA-cam knowledgeable enough to do a detailed video demo of this version of samplers to date #HookUsUpBro #Jan2018
Hi Robert. Glad you like it. I am planning on doing just that soon. I loved using this back in 95 and wanted to re-visit some of the samples I still have lying around! Hopefully in the next few weeks. I wanted to use an old sequencer that was MIDI only but the Arati ST I have just isn't playing ball! But I will get something done soon. :) Cheers.
Chris SweetLeaf thank you bro, that would be dope. I'm keen on incorporating this sampler with the new tech we have now so patiently waiting for your upload :D
Can you save to any blank floppy disc? Or do the floppy discs have to be formatted in some way beforehand? These are dirt cheap on eBay, thinking of picking one up!
Hey. Yeah any blank disks will do. Standard 1.44 mb double sided floppy disks. You can use single sided but they only hold half as much data. When you put the blank floppy in the S01 you just have to do a quick Format for the AKAI and voila! Great little unit to play with. Real raw sound. I would recommend editing samples on a computer first and then playing them into the S01. Editing the start and end points on it is pretty much by ear as you only have the 3 Digit display and your ears to go by... Or just go old skool! Part 2 coming soon, ish... (I got a broken foot right now.)
I use Elektron's C6 software (go to elektron.se and search for 'c6') to send samples to the S01. Saves editing on the machine and using floppies. Just remember to resample at 32KHz first.
Dig it, man! Thanks for sharing. Do you happen to know, did the S01 offer more features overall, compared to S20 or Remix16? (I think the overall engine is shared across these models?)

I would pay money to hear those demos today.
Dude! U opened my eyes on hardcore! Now i do understand why it's so sketchy and difficult to recreate in daw! Thanks!
LOl , we did use sequencers back then , he's just showcasing it with a midikeyboard
@@WARDISWARD dude, did u have warping back then? No. U only had time steeching. I'm talking about this. It's easy to fit any sound anywhere now.
Loving this... I just bought an S1000 for nostalgic reasons, and this is bringing back all the good memories.
The Akai SO1! Omg! I remember using this! Amazing flashback. Thank you
oh my god what a cool selection of samples!
An incredible video. It makes you appreciate all the work the Deejays and producers used in the 90s to create all those stabs, beats and loops, Altern8 DJ Tango & Liam Howlett must of spent thousands of hours just sat sampling arranging and chopping all those sounds we still enjoy today
Wish you had made the follow up video but 6 years later its looking unlikely
Yeah, sorry for the delay... BUT, I am planning on getting back on this channel. May not be for a few months but it will happen. Cheers.
What a gem of a channel
Great video, great to see the s01 in action again. I had one back in 1993 I think it was, my very first sampler, sometimes I wish I still had to mess about on. I upgraded to the s2800 after this, loved them both :-)
9:27 Charly Says!
Thanks for the memories...good times!
I like how explained this it makes sense with the music from that time frame
An S01 with a Gotek, unlimited power
You've just made an old man very happy!
🤸♂️🥳🤸♂️ ooohh me back! 🚑 🏥 🛏🗿!

Thanks. I will try to do a 'How to' from sampling to sequencing within the next month as several people have asked. Coming soon...

Thanks a lot, I certainly will!! I also think that if the timing is a little off it actually gives it character. I love the sound of it!
Also, I've seen people only use the s01 for drums...but you took that to the whole new level and made elements for entire songs on this. You pretty much nailed this piece of equipment and you've actually inspired me to experiment and just have fun with it.
This is exactly the same first gear I had, Roland midi keyboard and a S01. Still have the S01.

Jurjen Melinga first hardcore tune I heard back in 1991!
Yer did you rip it off their cd or the zero g cd ?
First released in 1993 was this sampler so on many old skool tunes !

Some really good inspiration
great upload. so much character in those old samplers
NIght Flight bassline floored me!! Inspiration for my Volca Sample, thanx a lot for passing the knowledge :-)
pls post the samples somewhere I can download them
Just got one of these for pennies.....first hardware sampler. Basic but fun
iv thought about spreading the samples out my key rolls are too complicated lol
I like the S950 and the S1000/1100
do note, that tis thing is mono. (i had one too back in the days)
i bought one on ebay last week. looking forward to a new (old) gadget to mess around with.
Haha - thank you for this demo!
how did you assign some notes to different keys and keep keyrange on others.
HI Jay, I need to do a 'how to' video on this thing! But for the drum samples I had them all set to the same Midi channel and then spread them across on different keys using the 'midi keyrange' function. Other samples I just set to 1 midi channel and left the keyrange to span across the keyboard.

The glory that IS... a 1.4 mb Floppy disk!! I will be doing a video soon about making a track using only the S01.
this device is incredible,just changing the sample rate for pitchshifting.Not so many VST nowaday that has this feature.
How many boot disk 💾do you have?
if i have got s3000xl and s1000 is there any point in using s01 sampler ??
I think the S1000 has the same Lo-Fi quality but also has timestretch? So you could get the same kinda sound from the S1000, difference being that you can kinda see what you're doing! Also the S1000 goes up to 44.1kHz where the S01 is only 32kHz.

Can I ask that keyboard model name ?
Looks like a Roland PC-160A or similar
16:30 SL2-Ragga Tip
Not actually is own made sample then i see ! as rave was over in 94 as a raver my self 88-93 !
Good for hiphop
Dig it, man!
Thanks for sharing.

I believe they do. Just different physical formats
