Played on masterkeyboard Oberheim MC-1000 with VSTi Real Guitar “Sampler”
More info about Sampler:
A sampler is an electronic musical instrument closely related to a synthesizer. Instead of generating sounds from scratch, however, a sampler starts with multiple recordings (or “samples”) of different sounds, and then plays each back based on how the instrument is configured. Because these samples are usually stored in RAM, the information can be quickly accessed.
The sampler has become an important instrument in hip hop, electronic music, and avant-garde music.
Unlike traditional digital audio playback, each sample is associated with a set of synthesis parameters, and can thus be modified in many different ways.
Most samplers have polyphonic capabilities – they are able to play more than one note at the same time. Many are also multitimbral: they can play back different sounds at the same time.
Types:
Samplers can be classified as phrase samplers or studio samplers. The latter term is informal, the former appears in the manufacturer’s documentation.
Phrase samplers work with the philosophy of a drum kit. Each keymap spans only a single key and generally has a different sample put under it. For a studio sampler, this would require a large number of zones (61 to fill a regular keyboard), each with its own settings; and each keymap has to be programmed as spanning just one key. This is a lot of work, especially on older menu-driven hardware samplers. Using the phrase sampling approach simplifies this and makes a translation to another interface (such as the 16 pads on the Akai MPC series) easier; the fact that each pad is actually a note is hidden from the user. It also saves computing power as the sampling engine does not have to re-pitch each sample (there is no need for an anti-aliasing algorithm) – it only has to play it back. Since the user interface is simplified in general, it is also a more attractive option for live use.
Studio samplers work as described above with the keymapping system. It is assumed that the user wants to “spread out” a sample over a certain range of keys. This has certain side-effects. These are desirable – such as speeding up or slowing down drum loops, effectively turning a sampler into a digital turntable. In some cases this is not desired; when for instance not enough samples are taken of an instrument, the higher and lower parts of a keymap may sound unnatural, and the transition from one keymap to another may be too noticeable. For mimicking realistic instruments, the art is to make transitions as smooth as possible.
The format differs in obvious ways – studio samplers are available in 19″ rack format, phrase samplers have a groovebox format; lightweight, easy to operate and carry.
