The August 1992 issue of Music Technology contained an interview with Cobain and Dougans:
"I think the beauty about the sampling world is that you're basically becoming attuned to listening to small bits of music that you like," opines Cobain. "I learnt to work in that way when I was using my first sampler, an Akai S612, because it didn't have much memory and you could only play one sample at a time."
In a Sound on Sound interview, Cobain discusses the creative process for Accelerator and mentions that the two-second limit on the S612 sampler was an important part of the sound:
with the two seconds of samples offered by the S612 we learned the beauty of how to take one note and write with it. So, when I'm talking about sampling I'm not referring to just dropping massive bloody hip-hop chunks. I'm talking about going through records, going through TV, getting a conga note and then playing weird rhythms with it.
