I N T R O D U C T I O N:

Here you are. Here we are. This Subreddit is dedicated to providing a platform for hardware sampler-oriented dialog, as well as the archiving of resources and information relating to the operation and maintenance of those aforementioned hardware samplers, new and old. That's what this is.

...now, here's this...

R U L E S :

1. No Criticism of Others' Sampling Preferences.

We're not fascists. You can post about both hardware or software sampling. You shouldn't be critical toward those who choose to post about one or the other, but please let us know what we're getting into by using the appropriate flair. Be aware that this page revolves around our love for hardware samplers, so software-related posts may not elicit as strong a response.

2. No Sketchy File-Hosting Links, Please.

If you're going to post original content, please do not use sketchy file-hosting sites - Bandcamp, Soundcloud, YouTube, Spotify (and the like) are preferred. If you post sketchy links, we'll boot that garbage A.S.A.P.

3. Search First, Then Ask.

If you're looking for resources, operating systems, manuals, etc. you may find them in the sidebar or the wiki, so please check before inquiring. If you find, or possess, something that isn't available below, and you want to share, PLEASE DO! We may throw it in the sidebar, and we will give you credit for locating it.

4. Please Properly Tag Your Posts.

You are required to use post flair for your posts, as it helps with organization and aids in others' decisions in whether or not to bother with your post. Please use the correct one. (see sidebar for explanation of all flairs)

5. No Personal Attacks or Threats.

Seriously, this should go without saying, I don't anticipate this community having an issue with this. If you're going to be violent or mean, go somewhere else. The moderators don't want to deal with that garbage, just as the users and subscribers don't want to see that garbage.

6. Be Smart. Do Not Excessively Promote.

We're very much interested in original content! That's what this whole thing is about; However, we are not a marketplace, so don't just drop a link (or ten) and disappear. If you want to post a sample pack and/or a related song, whether it's free or paid, please do so in a way that encourages discussion from others, and try to answer questions about your own content. Seriously, excessive promotion is just going to deter people. Don't do it. Its irritating.

F L A I R

Use any combination of these when posting to tell us what's going on. This helps with organization and aids in others' decisions in whether or not to bother with your post. Note: only one stylized flair can be used at one time, so choose the most relevant option and then edit the text to add any secondary flair; e.g. "[QA] [HWS]", "[IBAS] [HWS]", "[NP] [SWS]", "[MS] [SWS]", etc.

[HWS] Hardware Sampler: Use when your post pertains to hardware.

[SWS] Software Sampler: Use when your post pertains to software.

[REQ-HW] Hardware Request: Use to request for hardware, such as if you're looking to purchase a specific sampler.

[REQ-P] Part Request: Use to request specific parts.

[REQ-RES] Resource Request: Use to request resources, like manuals, disk images, etc.

[RES] Resource: For manuals, articles, tutorials, etc.

[QA] Questions and Answers: Use when you have a general or specific question or opinion about a sampler, sampler hardware, sound design, etc.

[WSIB] What Should I Buy?: Use when your post is asking "What Should I Buy?" or if you're otherwise wondering "What Should I Buy?"

[LEG] Legal advice/questions: Use for asking about the morality or legality of certain sampler-related things, such as sampling copyrighted material.

[SU] Setup: Use when posting photos/videos showing off your worldly goods. Please also give us a description of exactly what we're looking at, lest we have an emotional breakdown trying to decipher potato-quality photos.

[IBAS] I Bought a Sampler: Did you just buy a new sampler? Your first sampler?! Show us that shit!

[NP] New Product: Use to announce/link new sampler-related products, whether they be new hardware, new OS's, or new standards.

[MS] My Stuff: Use when posting links to your music/videos.

[GEN] General: Use for general discussion, anecdotes, stuff you're doing, things you want to sample... you get the idea.

Mod: The Mod flair is for official 32kHz announcements, contests, and other information from the moderators. Only moderators can use it.

R E S O U R C E S:

32kHz is not affiliated with any of the below sources. I've just found them to be massively helpful

Model and brand-specific resources will be located in the Wiki.

The Daydream Sound - An excellent musician/producer based in Toronto. He regularly uploads sampler-related videos focusing on sound synthesis, composition, tutorials, sampler buying, and niche production hardware.

Encyclotronic - A pretty heavily detailed write-up site. Includes pretty comprehensive specifications, including specs for lesser-know samplers, such as the Yamaha lines.

Vintage Synth Explorer - Has some great write-ups on nearly every sampler you'd want to read about.

R-Massive - Hosts a pretty incredible array of resources (disk images, technical data, etc.) for multiple hardware samplers. You will need to reach out to them via their Facebook page to gain access to some of the content. From the horse's mouth:

R-Massive is devoted to giving coverage and hosting to underground, forgotten, or otherwise obscured art and culture.
