Bonjour a tous !

mon groupe vient de se convertir en un groupe de jazz-éléctro-dub et je cherche un simple séquenceur qui lise mes samples quand j'appuie sur un bouton : la base, un truc vraiment tout con... Pas de truc compliqué. Le top serait de creer des banques (une pour chaque chanson)-> en concert je passe les banques et j'ai mes samples pour chacune des chansons...

A ce point je viens de voir le BOSS sp-202 : est-ce que cette petite boîboîte suffirait à mes désirs ??

merci
Musicalement , greg

Une anecdote sur la machine... qui prouve un peu tard que la réponse est oui.
Un recyclage de la bête dans une station de train au japon pour donner les différentes annonces...

Finally, the SP-202 is Being Put to Good Use
Look carefully at this snapshot taken of the small train station in Rendaiji (a stop above Shimoda in the Izu Peninsula). To the right of the microphone sits a Boss SP-202 - a phrase sampler with big soft plastic buttons that light up orange when you press down. (Click on the photo for a close-up). You may know him as "Dr. Sample." Although the SP-202 was originally designed for music (or its cousin "DJing"), the train station employees use the "instrument" to trigger the appropriate announcements for incoming trains. Perhaps train stations all over Japan are using samplers, but I was delighted to see it being employed in such a way and could not help to think that finally someone found the perfect usage for this otherwise troublesome product.

You see, the SP-202 started life as an entry-level sampler for that wave of kids in the late 90s who were defenestrating guitars and sinking $1200 into Technics 1200s. Back when I was interning in Tokyo in 1998, I used to scour the instrument district of Ochanomizu and became instantly enchanted with the little black box. I was coming into this whole "electronic music" thing from a long high-school tenure with a four-track recorder and guitars, and what I liked about the SP-202 was that you could play it like an instrument (I used to be scared of MIDI). I eventually picked up the sampler and the brother drum machine (the totally radical DR-202 with preset "drum'n'bass" beats and a great amount of ever-present white noise) and headed back to America to try to make sample-pop akin to that of my heroes in Shibuya-kei.

Much to my delight, I saw both Buffalo Daughter and Cornelius use the SP-202 on stage later that year. Cornelius famously used to pass one out to crowds to play (but with all the effects options covered by a big plastic bubble, natch).

So as a prop in a futuristic Japanese band's performance, the thing was fantastic. Sitting down to write songs with it, however, was a whole different challenge. As I and 10 million other kids discovered around 2000-2002, there was something seriously limiting about that "DJ culture" thing - we get these fancy turntables and mixers so that we can... play other people's music? Also, a big flaw - a phrase sampler is not the kind of sampler that lets you actually make electronic music. The SP-202 only really lets you record loops at less-than-CD-quality with no precise way of editing the loop points. Polyphony is also very limited, so you can't play more than two samples at once. But most importantly, if you are a songwriter who likes "chord changes" (I know, very old-fashioned), writing melodies over sample loops is like hiking in a very small box.

After a while, I figured out that the SP-202 had one purpose: triggering wacky vocal samples. (In hindsight, this is all that Buffalo Daughter and Co. were doing with it). But these train guys found an even better use: triggering useful train announcements. And nobody on the train platform cares if the samples are only at 31.25 kHz.
