Sampling synths to make crunchy house music chords in Eurorack with the Rossum Assimil8or

While preparing for a live set and making some new tunes to play I thought it would be a good opportunity to share two techniques I like to use to make chord samples with Rossum Assimil8or, a sampler in the Eurorack modular synthesizer format. The first technique is similar to something I did in my last "rig rundown" video. I like to sample a long chord sweep, then move around the start point with CV so that every time the sample is triggered, it starts in a new place in the sample. The second technique take inspiration from the sound of the EMU SP1200 by matching the bit depth to 12 bits, adding some aliasing, and then pitching the original sample down. This creates sounds that can be described as "crunchy". It's not really "warm", but its a sound we've come to know in love with classic house and hip hop music. I probably could have gone more extreme with this example, but I really liked the sound so I ran with it. The perks of using the Assimil8or over the SP are that the sample time is WAY more, you can dial in exactly how much of this effect you want even if that is absolutely none, and you can chose what filters you want on the outputs because EURORACK!
