Introduction

”Unforeseen consequences”. I guess that is what we can humbly say from a retrospective point-of-

view (besides the obvious reference to one of the greatest video games of all time).

Somehow, if I hadn’t had the chance to play with an Akai S950 as a child, there probably wouldn’t

have been our RX950 Classic AD/DA Converter plug-in, without which we certainly wouldn’t have

been able to continue our journey, which in turn led us to yet another monument in the sampling

realm, which would have been impossible without the incredible support, feedback and suggestions

we received from you along the way. Sounds pretty straight forward, but isn’t it funny to think how

unlikely this story is afterall?

We like to think that there is often a fair amount of uncertainty and unpredictability in the story of

big changes. And the music equipment industry is surely no exception.

When we got our hands on the real, legendary E-mu SP-1200, we immediately knew we were in

the presence of a machine that had changed things forever. It had its very own way of doing things,

its oddities, and of course its strong limitations compared to today’s standards. But that didn’t

matter: the machine is so endearing, its personality so blatant, we turned euphoric within seconds.

Whatever the challenges in making such a piece of hardware a reality (and the harsh compromises

that had to be made, doubtlessly), the result is a machine that begs to be played so hard that we fell

in love instantly.

But could anyone have anticipated that what appeared to be the weaknesses of the SP-1200, would

also become its strength: a sonic character unlike any other machine of its time, instantly capturing

the attention of forward-thinking artists seeking to push boundaries and challenge conventions?

Unforeseen consequences that became most apparent within the emerging hip-hop and electronic

music scenes because producers found themselves captivated by the machine’s ability to transform

ordinary sounds into something extraordinary, and by the raw, lo- texture provided by the SP-

1200 which injected tracks with a unique energy, elevating them above the glossy productions of

the time. Could have anyone think its inuence would become so undeniable, the SP-1200 would

turn into a symbol of authenticity and artistic integrity in an increasingly polished musical landscape?

This makes us dizzy.

But the spell was cast already. We became obsessed by Dave Rossum’s brillant creation and soon

enough started to nd our own way to give you a faithful taste of its iconic sound. Dave Rossum from

whom we received the best possible gift ever, the most unforeseen consequence we will always be

grateful for: an encouragement.

Thank you for reading these lines, thank you for being the cause of these unforeseen consequences.

Have fun with the RX1200.

Sincerely,

Your friends at Inphonik,

Mathieu Demange & William Lamy

What is the RX1200?

The RX1200 is a software instrument based on the legendary E-mu SP-1200, an illustrious sampler

that no less helped the emergence of hip-hop and house music genres in the early 90s.

Above all, the RX1200 aims to produce the same sound color that made its hardware counterpart

celebrated. With its distinctive grit, crunch, and warmth, the RX1200 puts the inimitable 12-bit

sound into the hands of today’s producers.

It is a tribute to a game changer from which we tried to re-imagine a contemporary version that

would t nicely in your modern DAW while remaining true to the original and its unique design and

mindset. This includes lifting some limitations and re-thinking its integration in order to provide a

virtual instrument that is easy to use, fun to play with, and inspiring.

It is packed with a glorious collection of 900+ samples and 50 presets crafted with love and ready

to play.

Welcome to the RX1200! This first preset oozes sweetness,

roundness, and a smokey jazz tone. All the reasons every

producer fell in love with the original hardware back then.

You can almost breathe the smell of card box vinyl.

4. PADS AND BANKS

Just like the original, the RX1200 features a total a 32 sample slots organised in 4 banks (A, B, C, D)

of 8 pads. Each sound consists of a slot with its associated sample and are thus named A1, A2, A3,

..., D7, D8. The pads on the front panel will blink to show activity and the bank switch LEDs will also

give you a hint about the currently played pads.

5. VELOCITY RESPONSE

This knob will adjust the sensitivity of the RX1200 to incoming notes velocity.

When set to 0%, the sound will be played at their maximum level (as per

their fader setting in MIX mode). When set to 100%, the MIDI velocity will be

mapped to the sound level. You can choose any intermediate value in order

to obtain a more natural feeling when playing.

WHAT’S UNIQUE IN THE SP-1200 (THAT WE KEPT IN THE RX1200)

When we say the SP-1200 begs to be played, we mean it: in order to hear the changes

you make to the sound parameters, you have to trig the sound again, i.e. you won’t be able

to move any fader and hear the result instantaneously. This might feel a bit akward at rst

but we deliberately chose to keep this very distinguishing aspect of the workow. So keep

playing as you tweak parameters!

We also carefully modelled the lters after the original hardware which, if you have never

heard them, can be quite surprising. But again, we made no compromise with the sound.

And luckily, the RX1200 can live as part of a chain in your DAW where you can use all your

other favorite FX plugins.

B1 B5B3 B7B2 B6B4 B8

C1 C5C3 C7C2 C6C4 C8

D1 D5D3 D7D2

These are the most iconic controls of the device and can be used to control three different parameters.

-8 0 +7

TUNE

Change the pitch of your sample by semitones steps. With any value other than zero, you

will hear distinctive and delightful aliasing artefacts that are part of the legendary sound of

the SP-1200 which we carefully replicated, as well as the available range of values (from

-8 to +7).

Faders (Tune, Decay, Mix)

DECAY

Decay is the one and only parameter you can adjust to affect the envelope of your sample.

This setting selects a predened decay curve ranging from “fast” to “slow”. The original

had 16+1 curves, carefully replicated, to which we added the possibility to simply disable

the decay.

Decay

MIX

Mix faders allow you to control the level of each sound. Note that, even though the tooltip

will display a smoothed percentage value, the real value behind it is in the range 0-15,

again, to remain true to the original. Also, there is no silent value, i.e. the lowest value is

displayed as “Minimum” because it WILL effectively produce a sound. In this mode, we’ve

added panoramic knobs to adjust each sound’s stereo balance.

Mix

RL RL RL RL RL RL RL RL

When you click on a pad, it gets “active”, showing

a blue underline. The left LCD screen displays the

sound properties for the active pad.

STEREO

The Stereo parameter allows

to choose a playing mode for

the sample: Stereo, Mono (with

a left+right summation), Left

(mono with left channel only),

and Right (mono with right

channel only).

FILTER

The lter parameter gives

a choice between 4 modes

regarding the SSM lter

emulation:

• Off: unltered

• LP1: low-pass lter 1

• LP2: low-pass lter 2

• Dyn: dynamic.

LP1

This static low-pass lter applies a very subtle ltering. It is almost unnoticeable.

LP2

This static low-pass lter applies a subtle ltering. It’s very light.

DYN

This low-pass lter is called dynamic because it’s in motion. After a quick unltered attack

time, it follows a descending curve that stops in the low-medium range, in a heavy ltered

SPEED

The speed parameter is maybe

the most practical setting of

them all. It allows to pre-apply

a speed factor to your sound.

By doing this, it gives you the

opportunity to play with the

Tune fader to obtain the famous

SP-1200 sound.

SPEED EQUIVALENCE

If you want to apply the iconic digital sound of the SP-1200 to a sound without changing its pitch

or note, you’ll need to compensate the Speed factor with Tune and Finetune values. Try these

combinations to nd your favorite SP-1200 lo sound.

THE FAMOUS SP-1200 TRICK

The SP-1200 has a total of 10 seconds sampling time. To be able to double this sampling

time, the SP-1200 owners used to sample 33 RPM records at 45 RPM, then tuned down the

sample on the SP-1200 to restore the original speed. While doubling the sampling time, this

technique lowered the sound quality. Surprisingly, the resulting lo sound became popular

among hip hop producers and gave the sampler its legendary status.

FINETUNE

As the sampling material

can come from any source, it

may be necessary to use the

netune parameter to have

all your samples in tune with

each other. Click and keep your

mouse pressed while moving

up or down to adjust the value.

GAIN

The gain parameter emulates

the amp gain staging of the

original machine. Raise it to

apply a soft-saturation to the

sound, accentuating its texture

and adding fatness. Decrease

the value to attenuate the

sound.

OUT

The RX1200 has 8 voices of

polyphony. Each sound can be

routed to any of the 8 voices.

Use it to groupe and choke the

sounds at your convenience.

Example: assigning a closed hi-

hats and an open hi-hats sound

to the same voice is a common

practice, so you can choke one

with the other. Also, you can

add virtual polyphony for each

voice in the Settings.

To address a keyboard playing range to each of the 32 pads (from A1 to D8), we’ve

splitted the zones across the 16 available MIDI channels.

The MIDI channel 1 is used as a “normal” play mode, and MIDI channels 2 to 12 are

used for chromatic mode.

Welcome to the RX1200! This first preset oozes sweetness,

roundness, and a smokey jazz tone. All the reasons every

producer fell in love with the original hardware back then.

You can almost breathe the smell of card box vinyl.

Settings

CHANNEL POLYPHONY

Each channel of the RX1200 is monophonic by default, and will play only one

sample at a time on one channel. For example, if you play a long piano sample

on channel 1, playing the sample again will cut the previous piano sound

instead of hearing both sounds simultaneously. You can raise the polyphony

setting for each channel to add virtual polyphony to these channels. It will

often sound more natural for sounds with long tails like cymbals, reverbed

drums, effects.

Access the settings by pressing the gear button on the upper-right corner of the RX1200.

The schematic below describes how the RX1200 is architectured. The core

element is the sound brick, containing multiple properties such as sample

data, tune, decay, level, gain, lter type, speed, and netune values. This

sound element is routed dynamically to any of the 8 output channels. On top

of this, a virtual polyphony layer is added to allow more voices to be played

simultaneously inside one channel.

MIDI KEYBOARD LAYOUT

Choose between two ways of playing notes in the RX1200.

The OCTAVE layout distributes the 4 banks of 8 notes among octaves from C1

to C4. This layout is easy to remember but has mute notes from G# to B.

The LINEAR layout distributes the 4 banks of 8 notes among the whole keyboard

contineously. There’s no gap of notes, and you will only need 3 octaves, but it

will be harder to rembember where the next bank starts.

If the RX1200’s graphical interface looks too small, you can make it bigger.

Scaling factors available: 100%, 150% and 200%. Please note that you need a

1024x768 monitor or greater to display the interface of the RX1200 properly.

DISABLE KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS

On some DAWs, the RX1200 pre-dened keyboard shortcuts get in conict

with the DAW’s keyboard shortcuts. To avoid this, check this option. For more

SENDING YOUR DATA TO INPHONIK

The OPEN SUPPORT PAGE button has a special function that pre-lls your computer’s

basic setup information to our support form, such as:

• Our product version number

• Plug-in format (VST, VST3, AU, AAX, etc)

• Your computer’s architecture (x64, ARM)

• Your platform (Windows, macOS, Linux)

This information is used solely for the purpose of providing a procient user support. You can

decide what to keep, edit or erase before sending this information to us.

The Rack Extension version is almost the same as the VST/AU/AAX version,

except that the load/save functions for samples and presets are relying to Reason’s

integrated functions. Also, Reason’s internal sample editor replaces the RX1200’s.

Thanks to Reason’s modularity, you can use audio and CV routings to your liking.

Effects and Players are advised to make your beatmaking more exciting!

Rack Extension (front panel)

In the RX1200’s back panel (press tab to ip the rack) Reason users can enjoy an

extensive set of CV inputs for controlling each pad’s Gate / Tune / Decay value. Also,

here are the Audio main stereo output, the individual channel stereo outputs (1 to 8),

and nally, the settings for Channel Polyphony and Keyboard Layout.

Rack Extension (back panel)

The “Reason way” to play with the RX1200 in chromatic mode is to create a RPG-8

Arpeggiator module, and to connect the Gate CV Out to the Gate CV input and the

Note CV Out to the Pitch CV Input of the pad you want to control. Remember to de-

activate the Arpeggiator mode on the RPG-8 unless you want to take advantage of

the automated note repetition.

You also can connect the Mod Wheel CV Out to the Decay CV Input to adjust the

sound’s decay on the y with your controller’s mod wheel.
