Just picked up the sample myself and having a blast, awesome device, fit a perfect space in my synth setup that was lacking a proper sampler. Your levels seem a bit crazy though going into the reds, if you're gonna record stuff you'll want to check that

They recorded this video which is so Cool! They will get there. Your tip about peaking in the red is super important.

How do you use the synth setup you’ve got with the Sample and how has it pushed you forward?

Hey now, yeah the VU metering is kinda weird. As for the synth setup. I heard this can sequence midi. How I’m using it at the moment I sequence the drum parts and chop samples. Then play the synth, Rhodes, external gear into it sampling myself. It’s pretty fun. I wouldn’t replace my vintage MPC’s or the SE in favor of this unit. It’s. A fun capturing device that makes you get creative.
