SP-1200 Emulator
Modeled after the infamous E-MU SP-1200 sampler. The key to the 1200's sound, aside from the bit rate is the SSM2044 lowpass filter chip that sits at the end of the "low quality" D/A stage.
This rack contains a ring modulator, redux, 1 lowpass followed by a highpass filter, a 1 band notch eq and a saturator in that order with the important stuff assigned to macros. Play with the settings depending on what kind of material you're using (melodic, percussive, bassy, trebly, etc.)
Also: try resampling your sounds pitched up by 8-12% and then slowing them down for maximum SP-1200 authenticity.

Would love to use this effect rack, but the zip file is BAD!!! So are a couple others...

For some reason, the file extension is removed. I verified that I uploaded it correctly, so something else is at fault. Regardless, just add a .adg after the file name and you'll be straight.

Peace man. I downloaded the file but when i try to use it i get a message saying The preset is broken. I am mad new to using ableton and i feel i am just doing it wrong. I looked it up and people said open up ableton then click on the adg file to activate it but i have been getting that message constantly. Do i need to drop it into a specific folder?

Hey tcigar17. Are you using a version of Live older than 9.0.5? If so, this rack may not work with it, unfortunately.
