EP-40 Auto Sampling + Something You Definitely Didn’t Ask For

Описание: Green screen, cozy studio, and AI slowly stealing all our jobs. Welcome back.

In this episode of Cranky Man’s Musical Journey, I grumble my way through auto-sampling, multisampling regions, and why modern gear never behaves the way the manual claims. We’ll hook up MIDI, wrestle audio cables, forget to plug things in, complain about USB-C conspiracies, and still somehow end up with a working auto-sampled instrument on the Teenage Engineering EP.

Along the way, I show:

How auto sampling actually works (yes, MIDI out + audio in, shocking)

How to set multisample regions properly so the EP doesn’t “fix” them badly

Why overlapping regions exist (spoiler: it’s probably hiding a bug)

How downsampling vs upsampling sounds on the EP. (spoiler: kinda same in the youtube video, hahaha)

And the truly unhinged part: microtonal, medieval, historic, and world tunings on a groovebox that absolutely nobody ask for them

TL;DR: I preview my upcoming (and currently unreleased) Multi-Sample Robot in my EP Audio Editor which lets me control everything from auto-sampling to delivery — and accidentally build an entire museum of weird scales instead of stopping at “just one.”
