Although I do not currently own an SP-1200, I can relate to the time machine aspect of the experience, from doing much of my music on a DX7, D50, MPC 2KXL, SL-1200 MK2 TT, other, and even mostly mixing on a 90s Mackie 24-4. I even started piling up hardware effects. Computer is becoming more and more of a glorified tape machine at this point, although the vast complexity and power is there when I need it (including Maschine Studio.) I even picked up an old cassette deck from the thrift store, and recorded a few tracks straight to that from the Mackie... Sounds very different. It's no reel-to-reel, but musical and interesting nonetheless.

I've been making sample based hiphop for years using turntables and software with the eventual inclusion of controllers like Maschine but it never really felt right and after reading your article I now understand why. It's that luxurious, grand, invested feeling I've been seeking without realising it. This is exactly the way I want to approach producing music from here on in. <br /><br />Thanks! <br /><br />PS: Do you use MPC60 or MPC3000? I'd love to know what you think and how you feel about those.<br /><br />Olliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975616016565095182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417435048273274661.post-1078165305013813772016-04-13T19:51:29.048-07:002016-04-13T19:51:29.048-07:00This was a great read.

Little did I know, my dad had started me off young with the Casio SK-5. Digging thru my basement yielded me my original SK-5 and a SK-200 that I had pulled the keys off as a young boy. Got into a bit of a Casio/Yamaha cheapo sampling keyboard buying addiction at that point and have since only held on to the SK-5, SK-60 & VSS-30. Jump ahead a few years and I had a Roland SP-404... It blew my mind! My current setup is a Roland SP-555, SP-606, Yamaha SU-200, SampleTrak ST-224 connected to an old cassette deck. Been thru the SP-404, 404SX, 505, 909, MV-8800, Akai MPC-500, 1000, and a few others. Never had a chance to play with the SP-1200 but I know I would spend far too much to have one if I let myself!<br />Thanks for this great article.
