(contenu en anglais)It's a damn shame there's no MIDI out (could it really have cost THAT much to add? I've had this open and there's definitely enough space in there) and it's also a shame the pads are not velocity sensitive. If this machine had these 2 features it would have sold by the boatload. More memory would also have been nice, but to me that wasn't as much of a loss as the other features. Having said all of this, it's still a great machine, and more than worth what they can be purchased for these days.
Price paid
US$500 (in 1999!)
UTILIZATION
Undoubtably the greatest aspect of the Sampletrak - I'm yet to come across a more intuitive sampler, and I must have used dozens.. I took it out of the box and within about half an hour I pretty much knew it inside out. The speed at which you can go from sampling to chopped-up, looped, and assigned-to-pad sounds is unparalled by anything else I've used. The onboard sequencer is average, but more than adequate for sketching out ideas.
The knobs feel a bit cheap, but are solid enough and remove easily enough if any crap gets under them - still going strong 7 years after purchase, and it's been all over the place and subjected to a fair bit of mistreatment and over-zealous use so I can't complain. One LED above a pad went out a few months after I bought it, but I suspect that was due to some mistreatment while loaned to a friend (hmmmm...).. build quality overall is just fine.
SOUNDS
For such an inexpensive unit (when it came out, at least) the sound quality is good - 32kHz max sample frequency seems to represent everything I've used it to sample just fine, but then I deliberately avoid using it for any sound with a lot of top-end.. I have other kit for that. What I REALLY like it for is lo-fi drum and loop crunching, for which it excels - when you want a sample to sound cheap, rough and nasty this machine is one of the best ever - at lower sample rates it's sound is reminiscent of the some of the Akai and Roland samplers of the late 80s and early 90s. This is the main reason I've kept it all these years, why I'll never give it up, and why I probably won't bother buying another 12-bit rack sampler again. Oh yeah, and the Resampling option is kicking.
OVERALL OPINION
Despite some of the issues I've mentioned above, I love this machine like very few other pieces of equipment I've ever used - over the years I've owned about a dozen or more samplers, and this is one of the only ones I couldn't bear to part with. Detractors will tell you it looks and feels like a toy, and this is EXACTLY what I love about it - it's fun and simple to get into, and just begs for you to play it.. what them fools don't tell you is that it under it's 'My First Sampler' facade there is a proper studio tool with and endless array of applications to a creative user. Gets my vote for 'Most slept-on sampler ever'. I like my MPCs etc, and rely on them enormously to do my thing - but the Sampletrak is a machine I genuinely love. Word.

150EUR (used, but w/ ac adaptor)
UTILIZATION
I just tried it without looking into the manual when i got it home, i found that theres nothing i needed the manual for.
the in-/output level and the edit 2 knob could have been better. rest is fine.
SOUNDS
Well i think with the flanger more quality and less range would have been *something*. but nothing to complain about the rest
OVERALL OPINION
Well im a reggae selecta. i was looking for something to fill with lickshots and use as effector. and maybe for to start producing some riddims later on. i think thats about the device i wanted.

Price paid
175
UTILIZATION
Easiest thing to use. And a million secrets that you will learn on your own.
Its good for the price. Its less than 2 pounds and lighter than an ES-1 and built about the same quality as an ES-1. Its good.
SOUNDS
Sound quality isnt the greatest for samples. But But messed up high pitch resamples come out in great quality. Its good enough for me.
OVERALL OPINION
Its very close to my heart! I just fried it so I am getting a new one very soon. VERY fun to create on. But its not for everyone. Some people dont like it. If you like strangeness at a budget cost, get it. If you want hip hop, trip hop, electro, get the ES-1. But know that the Zoom has 22 effects and alot of secrets that the ES-1 doesnt have. BUT the ES-1 has an awesone sequencer.

So I base the high rating on the features to value scale. It has the capabilty to create complete tracks all on it's own,but sequencing these songs with good results takes time to master.This is of course if you plan to use the internal sequencer.Most will opt not to. For trasfering samples to your computer via smart media this is a very good sampler to get because of it's nice full sound. Midi is pretty bad though.
Price paid
$300
UTILIZATION
Very easy to use.Very intuitive user interface,and the manual was a breeze. The sequencer is easy to use,but very basic.If you resample sequences you can retrigger them as the song mode is recording,and you can make songs that way.
I don't gig,but it's very reliable,and pretty robust for such a small machine.
SOUNDS
It's a sampler,but one with character. Nice warm punchy sound.Probably the most slept on sampler for drums. Spend some time resampling with effects,and you'll see what I mean. Highest sampling rate is 32khz,but that's fine for drums,and in most cases I don't need more.
OVERALL OPINION
I like it's grittyness,and ease of use so I can't part with it.

possibilite de faire du sampling pendant que on jue un motif(!!)
possibilite de importer .wav ou .aiff samples (j'ai reussi sans probleme, j'ai lu bien le manuel)
EDIT (18/12/2011)
encore une fois: cette machine est un killer!!
avec du temps j'ai decuvert que, grace a son sampling "Live", on peu l'utiliser comme une sorte de pedal looper en ajoutons des echantillons pendant que on continuos a jouer (sans sequencer).
magique!
SONORITÉS
tres bon son.
cette petite machine est incroyable.
bonne dynamique aussi.
son "obscure", "dark".
AVIS GLOBAL
je l'ai depuis 2 ans.
il me surprenne a chaque fois.
je l'ai achete en occasion mais frainchement il se la joue bien avec le boss sp303 (que j'ai aussi): le deux n'ont pas un tres bon sequencer mais font du mal!
plus: le st224 a le pitch (et autre) que le sp303 n'a pas...
les plus:
pitch scale, resampling "totale", sampling "live", timestretching, copy/paste rapide, shuffle/quantize (incroyable!! plus: on peu le modifier en live!!)
les moins:
-peu de timing pour echaintilloner en chaque song: 60 sec environs pour chaque projets...
-le midi: ça va, mais, comme quelqun a deja dit, marches seulment en gate...Lire moins20

La restitution stereo est un peu dicutable via les entrées.
24 effets ( woaw)de qualité variables, un seul effet a la fois, deux paramètres d'effets modulables en direct. les effets peuvent egalement etre appliqués sur l'entrée source.
Ca sonne bien, la fonction resample est fort utile dans l'utilisation des effets.
AVIS GLOBAL
Je l'ai depuis plus de cinq ans et en attendant un z8, ca me semble etre le meilleur rapport qualité prix du marché dans les sampleurs d'entrée de gamme. j'en suis tres content, une fois qu'on le connait bien, l'edition peut aller tres vite, j'utilise pas tout les effets mais dans les filtres,les modulations et les "boosters" marchent plutot bien.
je la sequence avec une rm1x et ma foi,si ce n'est que les sample ne se lisent qu'en ggate via midi, pas d'ombre au tableau, tout ca marche comme sur des roulettes....Lire moins50- FromSarriansPublié le 15/01/04 à 17:50Bien

AVIS GLOBAL
Ca y est, j'ai acheté mon deuxième ST-224 et je l'ai branché en série avec le premier.
Ainsi, deux filtres peuvent être appliqués sur le son entrant ! (un filtre sur le premier ST-224 et un autre filtre - ou le même - sur le deuxième !)
Qu'est ce qu'on rigole !04
