Vinyl SP From Mars
US 700 vintage sampler hits pressed to vinyl 12/03/25Samples from Mars have announced their latest sample collection - Vinyl SP From Mars! Each of the included 700 sounds were sampled through the SP1200 and then pressed to vinyl, as shown in the video below. It sounds great and would have been a tonne of work - see how the collection was made below with details and specs underneath:
The Legendary Sampler, Pressed To Vinyl
The SP-1200 is an iconic, genre-defining, 12 bit sampler from 1987 known for its crunchy, almost vinyl-like sound and brilliant, "fairy dust" harmonics. It adds a magic texture to anything that you sample into it. We made a pack with the SP back in 2016 and have been dying to revisit it ever since. But this time, we wanted to explore how the SP interacts with our favorite recording medium, vinyl!
So we sampled drum machines, acoustic drums, guitar, synth, bass, vocals and music stems directly into the SP, clipping, re-pitching, chopping, and processing it to taste. Then, we pressed the results to vinyl and sampled that, creating an incredible library of 700 Vinyl SP one-hits, caked in character from the beautiful interaction between our favorite sampler and recording medium
