Weeklystream #13: Let's Create Some Samps! (Thurs 10pm ET)

When playing around with (i refuse to call it work because it's all just a rather expensive hobby for me) effect pedals, what's the deal with high-z / high impedance? Which pedals require it and which pedals don't care? Do you use reamp boxes? Do you use active and/or passive DI boxes and what's that all about? Also, do you use power conditioners in your studio?

Could I request tonal samples be tuned to C? A lot of the samples I have received on patreon from other creators neglect this. I think it is a good practice to make the samples easier to use and avoid re-pitching artifacts. It's frustrating to dump a pitched sample into a sampler only to find when you play a C it comes out as an F# (or whatever). Atonal and synthesized Percussion stuff are always awesome too!

Interested to see how you go about the sample pack - Is there an element of curation as in "This pad needs this perc rhythm / sound", or is it completely free-flowing ie sounds are produced only for themselves and not because they might blend well with other sounds in the pack / genre.

Modular, obviously. And anything from percussive, effects to useful things for wavetable stuff? And whatever you feel like of course, live in the moment!
