RX1200 by inphonik (Coming to iOS)
Meet the RX1200, our 12-bit sampler instrument based on the E-mu SP-1200, a landmark sampler designed by Dave Rossum and released by E-mu Systems in 1987.
The RX1200 is a beatmaker's sandbox tool. It's a one-of-a-kind sampler ready to inspire your productions with experimentation, happy accidents, and that lovely distinctive lofi sound.
Coming to iOS later this year

Oh I am so waiting for this one, nice crispy vintage sample heaven! I believe it comes with a lot of samples too.
@ninobeatz Any idea when?
They’ll notify when it’s closer to release.
👍
I have this on my mac. It’s not bad. Just don’t like the fixed filters. I spoke to dev and they have noted my suggestion to change that. The fixed filters are way too subtle and only 3 options :
2 fixed low pass filters and 1 fixed dynamic filter.
Still looking forward to having this on iOS
On the desktop, if you buy the Reason Rack Extension, they will send you a code for the VST3 as well.
It sounds incredibly spot on with the original unit.
Original SP1200 has fixed filters too (output 3 to 6). Which i’d also describe as subtle.
The SP1200 is one of my dream pieces of gear so I’m super stoked for this! Gonna buy the minute it comes out.
You all know probably already, there is a SP1200 app

I have never read something about it here on the forum in the on going current topics.
eSPi was a huge deal and long thread over on gearspace, it was originally a hardware emulation of the SP, until the developer decided to change his project to a software emulation. The feeling was this was done primarily because there was a similar, somewhat competing ISLA Instruments hardware instrument released around the same timeframe. Originally eSPi had some momentum, but it appears to have stalled…see:
https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/espi/low-hiss-it-s-2023-still-no-ios-update-and-not-rep-t273.html
That is from the eSPi forum.
I was really hoping eSPi would be made into AUv3, but this seems a bit better for me since I wouldn’t use the sequencer…and the original workflow with respect to sampling seemed pretty tedious.
i have it, its pretty cool but im irritated by an option presented that offers a synth patch in lieu of sample as source. Someone suggested thr option was a placeholder for future functionality.
or its user error (more typical). I wrote the dev to clarify or complete the feature. awaiting a reply
Just a thought, would Koala Sampler, or Ableton Note, be more a spiritual successor of the SP1200? When you need the workflow but not the exact interface.
I do have Koala but not Note, I guess they work the same. The sound character / signature of a real hardware unit cannot be equalled anyway. From my understanding the punch, the dirt, and also the artefacts makes the SP1200 sound special.
It’s one of those things where the original unit is it’s own thing and difficult to emulate.
Note & Koala are both better than the old samplers IMO. What is lost in character is gained in overall fidelity and flexibility. The problem is you’re always going to sound like the 2020’s not like the 90’s. If that’s an important thing I think only the original gear will suffice.
@raabje @BroCoast Did you both watched the comparison video?
It does sound identical.
But then RX950 doesn’t sound much like my MPC60 did, though it sounds good and does get the general vibe right.
But the RX950 emulates the Akai S950. Not sure if there is a technical difference between the MPC, but just saying
An interesting watch on the original SP1200
Well I didn't, but now I did. This machine (hardware and software) is pretty intriguing. Now I see the sliders do add something extra. So that is a plus. The crushing and aliasing probably will also come close.
So I am not dissing the SP1200 app, that was not my intent. I was thinking, if you want to create beats the SP1200 way, Koala would come close, if you ignore the sonic differences.
Still waiting for RYM2612
I’ve had my eye on it for a long while, hoping it would go AU or get AU hosting capability but it hasn’t yet. And some of the reviews don’t bode well.
Rx1200 - would like to see “copy sample to other pads”. Dev has noted this.
Here’s the thread: https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/47315/espi-for-ios-released-sp-1200
This showed up for me today. Maybe some will enjoy it
Tagging @jwmmakerofmusic
Maybe the app is not for you, but I guessed you could like the track
Oh that app will defo be for me! Amazing! 😃
We’re getting closer! 😎
Oh wow.
This is probably the app I’m most excited about it right now. I’ve been following it closely for any kind of update so I’m absolutely stoked on this. Thanks for sharing!
Always 🤝
How close are we? 😅
any update?
