If it turns out that several samples were made with this thing then I'll get one to play with. I am also hoping I can eventally interview the original creators.įeel free to email me if you are interested in helping don't have a Poly-800 at the mo - I'm trying to find the preset names and a sample set from this little beastie. I hope to post some of my earlier studio remakes of classic Amiga tracks on this site. I also intend to write sections on the featured synths along with demos of them in action.
The website is not up yet but the idea will be to have an interactive table containing original sample name, original sample, sample source and full preset number/name, a HQ remake and demo of it in use along with any interesting notes.
There are also samples taken from the Roland Juno106 ( Pingbells), the Yamaha TX81Z ( DXbass), the Casio CZ ( SineCZ) series and possibly the Korg Poly-800. Call, DigiHarp, Heaven, TineWave, Jetes, Outlaw, Pizza, Nightmare) - a very characteristic sounding synth. What I can say is that out of the 126 samples in ST-01 a fair amount are without doubt factory presets from the now classic Roland D50 ( eg. I recently bought the domain to do exactly that and more. I was recently contacted by someone who had seen something I'd written on the subject who has had a very similar idea to mine which is to identify all of the synths used to make ST-01 and then attempt to make high quality equivalents of them. They all have a heck of a lot of character - this character has a lot to do with the way early modules sound. I've found it a shame that although so many rave on about the early Amiga modules and everyone knows they made use of the ST-01 sample set but very few know where these samples came from. I have a heck of a lot of studio gear from this era and like several others I've been curious about the origins of ST-01 but to date little info exists on the subject.
Well the short answer is several now very collectible classic pro synths of the time Support the people that make all of this possible.On searching for information on ST-01 I found a posting on EAB made by Mark Wright in 2003 asking whether anyone knew what instrument was originally sampled to make the infamous ST-01 sample set.
