Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta Respuesta
Mellotron (1962) Heard on "Strawberry Fields Forever". Sound options are: strings, brass, flute and choir. Tape is triggered when a key's pressed and must be physically changed to alter the sound type.
Synclavier (1978) Heard on "Thriller" and early 1980s albums. Difficult to recognise because it's evolved over the years.
Fairlight CMI (1979) Heard on "Peter Gabriel". Produces quite realistic sounds and is evolving.
E-MU Emulator (1981) Produced low quality samples due to low sample rates. It also had a limited memory. Version 2 in 1984 was more popular as it was cheaper.
Akai S900 (1986) Heard on Moby and Fatboy Slim tracks. Has a low-fi sound as a result of it being 12 bit.
E-MU ESI Series (1994) Heard on Daft Punk tracks. Includes effects like chorus and reverb.
1950s The world's first electro-acoustic studio.
What is a sample? A recorded sound taken out of context and used in a new piece.
What are the potential problems of sampling? Flaws in original sample are transferred. Can introduce clicks. Low bit rates = grainy samples and hiss.
Outline the brief origins of sampling. Can be traced back to experimental art music in the 20th century. The tape recorder was initially the main instrument. Magnetic tape could be cut, sliced, looped, reversed, layered and have its speed changed (although this also altered pitch).
