The Zoom Sampletrak ST-224 is a cheap alternative to classic samplers such as the AKAI MPC 2000XL, Roland SP-404, and Emu SP-1200. It has gained a lot of hype over the years with many producers adding it to their arsenal of music production equipment.
This vintage sampler gives Lo-Fi qualities, similar to production styles like Kanye West, Pete Rock, J Dilla, Madlib etc. In terms of cheap samplers, the modern standard is pocket operators such as the PO-33 K.O! by Teenage Engineering, but the Sampletrak is a strong option that costs slightly more, if you can find one.
These samplers are fairly rare to find for sale on websites such as eBay and Facebook Marketplace, compared to counterparts such as the Korg Electribe ES1 and BOSS SP-202 Dr. Sample. They also use a SD card predecessor called the Smart Media Card which is also rare and expensive.
In this review and tutorial I highlight the pros and cons as well as show five techniques of using the device. These include stereo imager, Lo-Fi effect + compressor (replicating BOSS SP-303 Dr. Sample vinyl sim compressor), pitch shifting, sampling and reducing sample rate The samples used in this demonstration are available royalty free on my Looperman page.
This sampler, although limited, is perfect for creating everything from 90s Hip Hop beats to the modern Lo-Fi beats you would hear on any Lo-Fi Girl stream.
Commonly referred to as the Poor Man’s SP-1200, I prefer to call it the Broke Producers SP-1200. I hope you enjoyed this my thoughts about it.
Let me know what you think of it?
