Whaddup!
New here, just thought I'd share a few tools I found floating around on the net.
One of them is an SP1200 emulator. It comes with a few drum kits, plus you can load up to eight samples into it. Its a PC VST. Its called the SD 2100 By Acquit Records. Gives samples that 12 bit sound, and its pretty close to a real SP. And the best thing, its free!

Another one is for the Mac heads here. Its a standalone program that functions something like an MPC. It has 16 pads, you can load up to 96 samples into it, it has a 96 track sequencer with swing, reverb, a few sample editing paramteres, etc. You can even play the pads from the computer keyboard. Plus it has a few built in keyboard sounds in it. And best of all, it also loads MPC PGM and SND files from the 2000 and 3000. It called the RS-16X and it costs 34.95. The cat who did this also did a joint that lets you make MPC PGMs on your computer. That's Mac only too.

And my personal favorite is iDrum. Its a step sequencer/drum sampler. You can load as many drum sounds as you want, plus it has a filter, envelope, and you can repitch the sample. Also you can take the sample down to 12 bits if you want, and it is supposed to sound like a 60, but I never compared them (because I don't have a 60). It can run as an AU plugin or standalone (Mac only). I use it on my laptop on my way to work to bang out beats in my spare time. The sequencer has up to 64 steps and MPC style swing. This one is fun!

Also they make a sample chopper called pHATmatik Pro. That shit is hot! You can load up a sample, like for instance say you sample 30 seconds of a a record, and you wanna chop it up. You can just load the whole thing into phatmatik, and you can do all the chops right there in the plugin, without having to put it in your sample editor and all that. This one is PC and Mac. Also theres a lot more sample choppers around. Just go to kvraudio.com and look through their database.
Peace.
