Production Thoughts

imo workflow is everything for breaks

look up tutorials for akai s9x0/sx00 samplers to get a feel for the classic workflow. you could just chop the audio in timeline view, but imo mapping chops to MIDI sampler is a better workflow to recreate the classic vibes.

the other part of the sound is tone - both from the old DACs used in samplers and the timestretch algo. there’s apps (but no VSTs) that emulate akai timestretch. bitcrushers (decimort 2) can emulate the DACs but aren’t as good as the real thing
