Mimic: New Creative Sampler
Does Mimic has individual audio outputs for the 8 slots, so you can set up individual mixer channels for each (drum) sample?
Interesting device. Totally naff video. I mean really “hey kids here is how a sampler works.” “I’ve never been into sampling before” wait what that? One of the most important pieces of music technology from the past 40-50 years that has influenced and shaped key music genres and songs and a technology the company you work for promotes and you don’t really use it or get it? Ha!
They really need to bring back the old information videos with no faces and just interesting demos and information.
It’s certainly very similar I’ve just fired up logic and to be honest I live the logic samplers and the quick sample is amazing but probably more usable than mimic too.

Are the effects per voice, or global after the voices are summed?
I think, although it's polyphonic - it is only one voice. In that, filter, amp, LFOs, effects affect the sound globally.
It doesn't work the same way like Grain when it comes to multiple voices.
At least that has been my experience with it so far. There's no option to have Voice Key affect say, lfo speed, lfo amount, filter etc.

I have to assume they were trying to get people like myself (who hardly cares what cool things can be done with a sampler) onboard—but yeah, even on that front it’s a swing and a miss, for me. which is weird, because usually they manage to make me think “I don’t really use this kind of stuff, but man, that IS pretty cool…”, for stuff that would never be appealing to me on paper (Complex-1? would’ve had zero interest whatsoever, if not for the sales pitch). not sure if it’s the presentation or just that sampling really doesn’t do anything for me.bangaio wrote: ↑10 Aug 2021Interesting device.

I was thinking this the whole time while watching the video, and Kong never looked more powerful. Looks like they've wrapped up a lot of those legacy features into one package and added the much requested time stretching and interactive slicing. It's not going to replace my Octatrack though lol.manisnotabird wrote: ↑10 Aug 2021Not too clear what it does that you can't do with the NN-XT, Dr. OctoRex or Grain.
Yes and Logic straight up copied their sampler from Ableton Live
![PUF Wink :puf_wink:](./images/smilies/Wink.gif)
My exact thought too!
One reason why I use sarato sample so often.. just wish it had loop option per slice
So true

I dunno, I'm not a crazy sample mangler but I can see myself having fun with this thing. Even if it's just NNXT 2.0, a break from that terrible grey interface will be nice
Fits the "Hey, Kids!" GUI IMHO...Rising Night Wave wrote: ↑10 Aug 2021

You have the "Auto" play button enabled (by default) in Reason's browser section. Look down in the lower left corner of the window. You can disable "AUTO" or you can click stop to stop playback. It's not a Mimic thing, it's a Reason thing.

I didn't say I don't get it... I said that up until recently sample manipulation on a grand scale wasn't a key part of my music making process, personally, the way it is for others who make it the core of their workflow and that I know that I was wrong to largely overlook it as much as I have. I'm speaking on a personal-musician level to a very specific other type of music maker, which are the many people who also don't tap into sampling as often as they might realize they'd want to once they start messing with it.bangaio wrote: ↑10 Aug 2021

And yeah, every getting started video on sampling needs to include a little "how a sampler" works just like my getting started on Algoritm included a bit of "how FM synthesis works." It's baked into the getting started territory. Mattias and I will be doing a livestream next week for more advanced concepts. Maybe tune into that?
No need to explain yourself Ryan, you clearly stated in your video it was not part of your personal music making tool kit.ryanharlin wrote: ↑10 Aug 2021I didn't say I don't get it...

Hey peeps, if you haven’t got anything nice to say, don’t say it.
I thought the video was informative and interesting.
I do hope there are more surprises to come for Reason 12. Currently I feel like we are slowly unwrapping a Christmas present under the tree every time the parents step out the room and then on Christmas Day having to pretend to be excited as we’d already seen it.
This comes from experience and it’s naff.
Please keep something back ready for the launch day/week!
It’s great having a surprise.
Thank you Ryan!ryanharlin wrote: ↑10 Aug 2021You have the "Auto" play button enabled (by default) in Reason's browser section. Look down in the lower left corner of the window. You can disable "AUTO" or you can click stop to stop playback. It's not a Mimic thing, it's a Reason thing.
