RPMate

norns as sampler buddy

This script is a little util that allows to record a sound an play it back at various RPM ratios.

The main use is to replay the sample sped up into a hardware sampler to save memory and add some punch to samples (demonstration of the effect).

It comes with its own fork of the timber engine with some tweaks, so a sleep is necessary.

Samplers, sampling, suggestions for a sample based workflow

Currently this is a typical process for me: Record stuff -> put it in Ableton/simpler to edit, mangle -> do a a few takes with the Push2 while running the sound through my eyrorack and pedals. Is there a way to do these things inside the eurorack domain? What kind of sampler module could be good? Thanks!

The Akai MPC sampler thread

I searched the forum months ago before purchasing and while trying to troubleshoot some issues but…didn’t find as much as I hoped for (at least not in one searchable location). It’s quite amazing how often MPCs are discussed here in other threads w/o existence of one like this. So here it is! I hope it will be a place to discuss our shared interest in the legendary sampler series. I expect some of you might wanna share your history with the machines, why you love em, and how you’re currently u…

This is very interesting. I have Norns on the Cue outs of my Octatrack. I’d be interested in this as a tool to aid resampling back into the Octatrack with additional flavour/character (or as a utility to clean up samples/solve spectral content issues). So features like EQing, phase, and anything at all dynamics-related would be useful.

Cheers!

I know its not your priority but a simple slice and save option with clever/fast naming would be great!
Cool stuff btw !

I thought about it, even though it’s not the primary purpose of the script (where a hardware sampler would do this duty).

In the meantime, although minimalist, sam might suit your needs.
