Also known as the LM2, this drum machine has made its way through countless 80s hits. And almost 40 years later, the Lindrum remains just as relevant and sought after as ever before.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/Lindrum-Web-Main-big.jpg?189\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Product That Started Samples From Mars\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story of the Lindrum From Mars is the story of Samples From Mars. 6 years ago, this company began simply as a response to one question: \"why aren't there any great quality Lindrum samples around?\". I wondered why so many sample packs were based on trendy genres and made from software when these hardware machines themselves were so inspiring and had such a rich history. So I figured - if even a couple people buy the Lindrum samples, that'll be reason enough for me to start a company that can hopefully support my crazy drum machine addiction someday. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, with almost no equipment to my name,  I hired a car, trekked it out to New Jersey, and rented an LM2. Then, I rented a studio with an SSL console (I'd been engineering at a pop studio where I'd learned that an SSL console was the secret weapon to drum machines). With only one studio day booked, I went about sampling this drum machine every which way, processing hits however I wanted, and re-pitching the results on a tape machine.  Here's my first (somewhat lacking) product photo of the LM2 I rented, propped on an IKEA kitchen table:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/ld-1.jpg?17122070559062637040\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough I had years of experience as a producer and engineer, sampling a drum machine was foreign to me. As a result, the original, \"legacy\" version of the Lindrum From Mars was not very faithful to the original machine. There were things I just didn't know yet - that the congas on this unit were actually LM1 congas. Or that I could move EPROMs around to tune them instead of using tape. Or that \u003cem\u003eit's important to have a less subtractive approach to sampling\u003c\/em\u003e, since the end user will be subtractive anyways (adding their own EQ, compression, etc).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet as unfaithful as this sampling process was, it was full of character that's proven impossible to recreate - especially the re-pitched tape hits, and the SSL processing. In music I've learned to never try to re-track anything at a better studio - because that magic and emotion is impossible to replicate, and is more important than the actual quality. So, in that same regard, we're keeping this version forever, and including it as a separate download:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/304829695%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-3VdRd\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\" height=\"166\" width=\"100%\" allow=\"autoplay\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA More Faithful Re-Creation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast forward to 2019 - with over 10,000 hours of sampling experience later, and a Class A sampling studio built entirely from sales that began with the Lindrum samples, and we've (yes, I went from \"me\" to \"we\") decided we were finally ready to re-sample this beloved machine. Our goal: to create a more faithful and comprehensive Lindrum sample library. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, we recorded the LM2 100% cleanly, directly to the converter (finally!). Where tuning was available, we hand-pitched every feasible knob position, eventually narrowing these down to a more manageable number. (Roughly they are half steps but those knobs are hard to be precise with!). And for the congas (the real LM2 congas this time), \u003cem\u003ewe tuned them via CV\u003c\/em\u003e, so they are perfectly in key, labelled by note, and ready to play melodies:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/613741410%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-tudMd\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\" height=\"166\" width=\"100%\" allow=\"autoplay\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere tuning wasn't available (like the clap), we swapped EPROMs around. So, we'd pop the Clap in the Snare Drum slot, and tune it. We did this for every drum voice. While pitching on tape was cool the first time around, this style of tuning is 100% the sound of the Lindrum. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the best parts of the Lin is the Hi Hat decay - so we made sure to multi-sample this. And, by swapping EPROMs, we also grabbed multi-decayed Claps, Rim Shots and Snares. They are short and sweet! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGetting Gritty \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce all of the samples were narrowed to the most manageable number and trimmed to perfection, we captured the color versions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2013, my approach to processing was to just do what sounded good - use as many types of gear as necessary, shorten things with gates, filter stuff, distort, compress, use different EQs. And while this is what makes the Legacy version so special, what I've come to realize over the years is - \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eif you can focus your processing on as few pieces of gear as possible, the samples will sound more cohesive, like a single instrument.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith that in mind, we settled on the following: an API 1608 console channel saturation (the best saturation I have ever heard), API EQ, a CL1 diode compressor, SSL dynamics (a throwback to the Legacy version), and our beautiful, new MCI tape machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/Lindrum_From_Mars_0e68ce85-515d-4a79-b314-31c2916c6cfc.jpg?189\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile processing the Lin, we thought about each drum voice on its own - 1. how could the original hit be made better, and 2. how are people processing these sounds on our favorite records?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lindrum sounds themselves are actually very distorted. For something like the clap, where the sustain is really loud, we actually wanted to \"un-saturate\" it. So, we used our Diode compressor with a slow attack (adding punch) and a slow release (tightening the sustain, almost like a gate - which also adds punch). For most voices we opted for multiple color versions (in the Ableton rack you can use a knob to select the color), so for the clap we also opted for a super saturated version that's kind of the opposite of the first color. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow our Processing Has Changed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years I've gone through a couple different phases regarding processing - first (with the legacy version) I was all about compression, and making things punchy. Sometimes at the expense of RMS \/ loudness. Then, a couple years later I got really into saturation and making things loud (sometimes at the expense of punch). Finally, I've learned that compression and saturation together can be used as somewhat opposite processes to balance each other out. Compression is great because it makes things super punchy - but, if you're just using compression on everything, your mix won't be loud enough, and will suffer in the mastering. So, you can use saturation before or after compression, to increase the sustain so that it matches the level of the attack (that you increased with compression). This topic deserves an entire article and is too deep in scope to detail here - but it's exactly what we did with the new Lindrum color hits, and they turned out fantastic. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe End Result\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter our clean and color sessions we ended up with about 500 clean sounds (all with multi-pitches) and around 800 color samples. To make things easier, we also created (10) 16x Hit Kits of sounds that go well together - this is the easiest way to start using the samples, regardless of your DAW or sampler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaking of which, everything is mapped nicely in a bunch of different formats. The Ableton rack allows you to use knobs to select Lindrum pitching, decay, and different versions of the color samples.

And re-sampling it has allowed me to reflect on how things have changed since then (for the better!).

Our intention was to create our own drum machine samples by hardening them through the 60. Recording directly from a super clean phono stage (Ortofon 2M Red into a Musical Surroundings Phonomena) worked perfectly with the 60's gritty converters and we ended up with a collection of spicy and complex drum samples. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, since the groove of the MPC is just as unbeatable as the sound, we captured every quantization setting from 50% - 75% as midi grooves for you to use in your own productions.

The 808 kicks, for instance, sounded great clipping the attack. You can also take a funk snare and harden it into a 90s hip hop sample like no compressor or plugin can.

For every sample we recorded up to 19 pitches, to reveal that sweet, vintage aliasing and fatness.

First, the Reddi Tube DI - which is one of the warmest and deepest sounding DIs I've ever heard (it seems to add a lower octave of bass). Coupled with the inherent warmth of the MPC60, this gave us extremely warm low end, especially on kicks, and a more finished tone overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe next major piece of gear was our trusty Otari MTR-12 1\/4\" mastering reel - which almost all drum hits were recorded to. This seems subtle while sampling, but the tape gives the drums an unmistakeable analog punch and slight color. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final two pieces of gear that imparted a major tone on this pack were the API 560 EQ and SSL expander \/ gate. While many of the drum machine hits were not EQ'd, the vinyl was processed quite heavily. The API was used for adding presence and air (think Questlove's rim shot) while the SSL was used after tape to add attack and control the tails of vinyl drum hits, effectively making them punchier and closer to drum machine samples. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/processing-2.jpg?3279702872296511877\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder of Operations is Everything\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the most interesting processing revelation wasn't a piece of gear, but the order in which the gear was used. After a little trial and error we found that processing the samples on their way into the 60 gave us superior results than processing the outputs of the 60. This makes sense if you think about it - take a static, 1 note kick drum - find the frequencies relative to that sample that you'd like to EQ (boost the fundamental), and record it into the MPC. Now, when it gets re-pitched, that fundamental frequency is boosted relative to every pitch you're recording. If you were to instead EQ those 19 pitches after sampling, you wouldn't be able to find a one size fits all EQ setting, because that fundamental frequency would be changing at every pitch along the way. Needless to say, this impacted the samples in a very beneficial manner. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/MPC60-Final.jpg?12271788401876347372\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the End\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTruthfully, sampling on the 60 can be a quite painful process (thank god there's an arm rest).

The tape adds a noticeable analog punch and crunch, so we also captured the raw sounds, straight through our Apogee Symphony converter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the original sounds on this machine are pretty perfect, there is only one tuning offered per voice, greatly limiting the unit's flexibility. No matter what you do, you're stuck with \"that 727 sound\". Don't get me wrong, that sound is amazing, but it's not always what you're looking for. And while you could tune them digitally in your DAW, you'd likely lose the vibe of the hardware along the way. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo remedy this, we recorded each hit to tape at 15 ips along with a C note sine wave. Then, we played the tape back at 30 different speeds (from lower than 7.5 ips to higher than 30 ips), tuning that sine wave with a guitar tuner, to give you 30 perfectly chromatic pitches of every drum.

But with the 60, you can actually make an 808 or 909 sound better (well, different) - hardening it, fattening the low end, crunching up the midrange and creating a hard hitting sequence with an amazing shuffle. And while the debate over the best MPC continues, the 60 is undoubtedly the best \u003cem\u003esounding\u003c\/em\u003e, with its instantly recognizable and classic color it imparts on everything that passes through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaturally, drum machines were the first things to get sampled into this thing - and we gravitated towards classic and oddball sounds. A lot of MPC60 libraries run pre-made samples into the 60 - but there is something really special about going *directly out* of an 808, 909, CR78, 606 and 707, straight into it. We also hooked up the SH101, Arp2600, and even SP-1200 for some hot sampler on sampler action. The free MPC60 From Mars only contains a small selection of these (909, CR78, and a couple others). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/317505514%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-4ifCY\u0026amp;color=ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo get a dustier vibe, we went \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.superiorelevation.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003erecord digging\u003c\/a\u003e, grabbing everything from old school funk breaks, bonus beats and boogie 12\"s to (pre-software) early 2000s minimal techno records. Our intention was to create our own drum machine samples by hardening them through the 60.

First, the Reddi Tube DI - which is one of the warmest and deepest sounding DIs I've ever heard (it seems to add a lower octave of bass). Coupled with the inherent warmth of the MPC60, this gave us extremely warm low end, especially on kicks, and a more finished tone overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe next major piece of gear was our trusty Otari MTR-12 1\/4\" mastering reel - which almost all drum hits were recorded to. This seems subtle while sampling, but the tape gives the drums an unmistakeable analog punch and slight color. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final two pieces of gear that imparted a major tone on this pack were the API 560 EQ and SSL expander \/ gate. While many of the drum machine hits were not EQ'd, the vinyl was processed quite heavily. The API was used for adding presence and air (think Questlove's rim shot) while the SSL was used after tape to add attack and control the tails of vinyl drum hits, effectively making them punchier and closer to drum machine samples. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/processing-2.jpg?3279702872296511877\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder of Operations is Everything\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the most interesting processing revelation wasn't a piece of gear, but the order in which the gear was used. After a little trial and error we found that processing the samples on their way into the 60 gave us superior results than processing the outputs of the 60. This makes sense if you think about it - take a static, 1 note kick drum - find the frequencies relative to that sample that you'd like to EQ (boost the fundamental), and record it into the MPC. Now, when it gets re-pitched, that fundamental frequency is boosted relative to every pitch you're recording. If you were to instead EQ those 19 pitches after sampling, you wouldn't be able to find a one size fits all EQ setting, because that fundamental frequency would be changing at every pitch along the way. Needless to say, this impacted the samples in a very beneficial manner. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/MPC60-Final.jpg?12271788401876347372\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the End\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTruthfully, sampling on the 60 can be a quite painful process (thank god there's an arm rest).

The clean Bass Drum, while punchy, \u003cem\u003eseriously\u003c\/em\u003e lacks bass - so we magician-ed a sub out of thin air by using an analog high pass filter, and tuning the cutoff frequency to the bass drum fundamental. Cranking up the resonance into slight self-oscillation gave us a massive, and deeply analog sine wave sub, which we then tucked underneath the original kick in parallel. This resulted in some seriously fat bass drums. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRe-pitching Everything in the MPC60\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, we sampled everything through our beloved MPC60, for some dirty, 12bit X 12bit action. We pitched every hit 19 times in the MPC, and this is the bulk of the Drumulator From Mars samples.

underrated 12bit sampler from 1985 that yields endlessly inspiring transformations of whatever you put into it. Its features are simple but powerful: a selectable sample rate from 4 Hz - 32kHz, a sweet, analog filter, input clipping, old school pitching (with LFO), looping, reversing, and best of all: front-panel sliders for adjusting start, end and loop points. With these parameters the 612 is capable of everything from thick, juicy bass, to silky leads, overdriven drums, and lo-fi glitched out madness. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/S612---12132-crop---Web.jpg?444\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing the S612\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the 612 is a blast - the sampling is instantaneous (it's kind of like a better sounding \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sk1-from-mars\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSK-1\u003c\/a\u003e), all of your controls are right in front of you, and the sound is sublime. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, you select the sample rate with your midi keyboard. Higher notes = higher sample rates, while lower notes offer powerful, lo-fi recordings. This, coupled with overdriving the input, provides a huge palette of colors and harmonic distortion at your fingertips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter recording into it, the sample is immediately pitched across your keyboard and is ready to be filtered. The filter is fat and creamy, and the resonance is affected by how hot you've recorded into it. With a bit of overdrive it can result in massive bass sounds, and smooth over any sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most unique editing feature, however, is the front panel sliders. Engage a loop, and as you start moving the sliders around you can fully destruct your sound into granular synthesis territory. Once the start slider passes the end slider, for instance, the sound starts reversing. And because the loops themselves speed up and down relative to the note, this all makes for quite interesting and musical sounds: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe height=\"166\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/506137992%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-O6o8t\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" scrolling=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCreating Synths From Acoustic Instruments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the above process, we set out to sample a bunch of acoustic instruments and transform them into 612 synths. We plugged all sorts of instruments directly into our API  console - electric bass, standup bass, a broken Rhodes, vocals, guitar, and Clavinet - and jammed, tracking ideas to tape and digitally. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/S612_Gear_13.jpg?17100436524347739366\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce those jams were captured, we singled out individual notes, and ran them directly into the S612. By adjusting the sample rate and input clipping to taste, we breathed new life into those single note samples, applying a combination of manual splicing, looping, reversing, filtering and LFO, and finally pitching that into a 5 octave keyboard and sampling it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis allowed us to create playable, keyboard instruments out of acoustic instruments - transformed by the 612's filters, overdrive, and unique sample rate and 12 bit sound. The results are surprisingly hi fi and analog sounding - the following is made entirely from bass, guitar and acoustic drums sampled through the 612: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"166\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/504555768%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-7fKEr\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" scrolling=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGetting Glitchier and Lo-Fi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also sampled rare African percussion, vocals, obscure records from 70's Catalonia, and of course, a bunch of analog synths (Polysix, Juno60, Voyager, Octave Cat, CS-5).

And, by moving the start point on the 612, pitching and filtering we were able to get a huge range of kicks from subby to crunchy, punchy, distorted, and everything in between:  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe height=\"166\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/506029392%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-4uasi\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" scrolling=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe also heavily processed each hit through the API 1608, with the API 560 graphic EQ, employing as much as 12dB of EQ at some frequencies!

But it isn't, if you keep in mind this basic concept: tune the 909 so that all of its drum sounds play well together (so the toms go with the snare, the ride and crash work together, etc), before sampling them. Make sure to add a couple variations of attack, decay, tone and snappy while you're at it - but keep it simple. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/SP-Web-Rect.jpg?215\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext, determine how hot you want to run into the SP.

The SP 1200 has different lowpass filters on each output, and a pair of outputs with no filters.

Once you have them on one pad, we'd add another effect and resample that! Then, we might pitch shift and add another sample, and some delay, tape echo, chorus, filter\/drive, reverb, brutal compression and more.

If we wanted to add some more distortion, we might sample that through the 202. This process is all about experimenting, re-sampling, degrading, and combining the sonics of each SP.

What we do know is that the R64 was released in 1980 by Viscount, an Italian, family-run manufacturer that began in the 1800s making accordions, and have since made everything from synths to bicycles!  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!--\n.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HFchl5TU6sM?rel=0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe R64 has the functionality and limitations of a typical \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/samplesfrommars.com\/collections\/rhythm-boxes\" target=\"_blank\"\u003erhythm box\u003c\/a\u003e, but sounds quite different, as it's sample based rather than analog. 12bit PCM samples, sourced mostly from acoustic percussion, give the Viscount a punchy quality more akin to a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/samplesfrommars.com\/products\/lindrum-from-mars\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLindrum\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/samplesfrommars.com\/products\/drumulator-from-mars\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDrumulator\u003c\/a\u003e than a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/samplesfrommars.com\/products\/cr-78-samples\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCR78\u003c\/a\u003e.

In the process, we discovered a \"secret\" tuning pot and cymbal control inside the machine, so we made sure to capture various tunings as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/Viscount-Tuning-New-WEB.jpg?v=1663358785\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn particular, we made a mission to showcase how well this machine does disco and dance music, and these loops do not disappoint!

The percussion pot on the Viscount has a particularly noticeable noise on some loops, which is certainly part of its charm, but we were able to use some digital filtering to clean it up. The results are loops that sound nearly identical to the original, but without the noise - these loops will take to processing better, and layer more easily in a modern context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1345289113%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-VZIRjzowaNo\u0026amp;color=%23e40b00\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\" height=\"166\" width=\"100%\" allow=\"autoplay\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnlocking the Viscount's One Shots\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext, we set out to create a complete one shot library of the Viscount and take it into the 21st century - straight off the Mix Out of the machine into our recording chain. Using the volumes and mutes, we were able to record and extract every possible one shot from the Viscount's 64 patterns. We used the tune and cymbal controls to sample 5 different pitch variations and 6 different cymbal variations. For the shorter cymbals (functionally hi hats), we took 3 Round Robins of each variant, resulting in a much more lively and bouncy sound - just how they sound on the machine itself! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/Viscount-Sampling-WEB.jpg?v=1663358785\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn certain hits we also took the Headphone Out, as there was a certain distortion and RMS boost that we loved.

Not quite - but the machine certainly captures some of the same punch and vibe, but with a distinctly more lo-fi twist. Between its snazzy, \"analog\" cymbals, awesome breaks, and lo-fi percussion sounds, the Viscount lives in a class of its own. It is an impossibly fun drum machine that \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003esimply bleeds italo disco, yet remains totally useable for modern genres as well.

We believe that the final part of the signal chain is the most important, in terms of the overall perception of the aesthetic of sound - so in this way, pressing the SP to vinyl essentially makes it sound more analog.
