Its sounds were quite punchy and reminiscent of an LM-1 and DX, but dirtier and a bit muffled (but in a cool way). Like other machines of its time, the sounds are instantly recognizable, and used by many -  Prince, the Human League, acid house pioneers Phuture, a plethora of mid 80s boogie, and more recently - Chromeo, Simian Mobile Disco, and hundreds of bedroom producers around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs people have been hipped to these sounds, the Drumtrak's price has skyrocketed in the past 5 years - but for good reason - it's basically a cheap and dirty LM \/  DX!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/drumtrax.jpg?14240309229722904691\" alt=\"80s-drum-samples\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Recording Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\nOur basic philosophy creating this library was to take each drum sound individually and asses what it needed and didn’t need (some sounds definitely required processing, while others none at all). The drums were first recorded through a radial JDI direct box, fed into the mic preamp of an API 512C (a classic, awesome sounding mic preamp). Slight EQ curves were applied when necessary with an equally amazing sounding API 560 equalizer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/10865082_1536642289953363_368516032_n.jpg?9972\" alt=\"API-drum-samples\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the sounds were then recorded onto fresh 1\/4\" tape on our Otari MTR-12 Mastering Reel to Reel. Many of the sounds were only slightly saturated, but for the snare, we heavily saturated the tape so it sat better with the other drums. This allowed us to create a loud, smashing snare without the use of compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kick was fattened up a bit through our Neve Tape Emulator (this thing offers an amazing low end boost and saturation that is quite nice).

This is due not only to its 100% analog nature, but because of the internal parameters that, with even the slightest tweak, can completely alter the sound. The toms can sound like a 606 if the noise parameters are messed with, and the bass drum can range from a low G (if you're lucky) to an A#.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe Re-Built the Library From Scratch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, 3 different 808s have been sampled to create the 808 From Mars, but our most recent unit is far and away the best sounding yet, and for this reason (and the fact we have better gear and more experience than ever) we've decided to completely re-sample it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, we multi-sampled our 808 cleanly through our API console, and also dirtied it up with a slew of hardware saturators, EQs, filters and compressors (no plugin processing whatsoever).

Like the 808, every voice on this drum machine is a classic - instantly recognizable (for better or worse), and deeply nostalgic yet increasingly relevant in today's music. And despite what anybody says we \u003cem\u003estill\u003c\/em\u003e have yet to see an emulation nail this sound perfectly. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"tr-909-samples\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/909-Loops-2-fina.jpg?2841868605081384702\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the 808, the 909 is analog, but with one major difference: it uses crunchy 6 bit samples for the cymbal and hi hat. These can punch through a mix in a totally different (crunchier?) way than the previously analog hats because they're sample-based, providing an amazing contrast to the 909's analog voices. In fact, so much of the movement from disco to house and techno can be boiled down, at least partially, to this shift in hi hats. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Bass Drum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso like the 808, the analog bass drum is famously huge and warm. Both are capable of deep sub kicks around which you can base entire albums of music. But while the 808 bass drum is incredible, it can be hard to fit with a big bassline. The sustain is huge and you also just don't really have a punchy envelope to play with. On the 909, though, the introduction of pitch modulation means you can get a super punchy kick because you're effectively raising the pitch of that attack envelope, and the difference (the decay) between that initial attack and the lower, fundamental sustain is where the punch lies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Snare Drum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe snares are wide ranging. On the lower end of the \"tone\" control, they're thicker than the 808's (moving closer to the 90s) and on the other side of that \"tone\" knob things can get quite trashy quickly depending on your unit. If you sweep this knob, along with the pitch envelope, you can get those crazy, energetic 909 rave snare rolls that people lost their shit to in the 90s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"tr-909-samples\" src=\"https:\/\/d3k81ch9hvuctc.cloudfront.net\/company\/cVJFn5\/images\/6be457ca-ffde-47f8-bc92-484853be1e6d.jpeg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the 909 is quite a departure from the 808, but none of this is to say it is better than the 808, but rather that these differences are what make them the perfect companions.

First, we captured \u003cstrong\u003eclean versions\u003c\/strong\u003e of every drum hit, straight through an API preamp into Apogee Symphony conversion. When neccesary, each drum voice was captured in \u003cstrong\u003eextremely detailed and methodical groups\u003c\/strong\u003e - the Bass drum with varying decay, tune, and attack - the snare, with varying tune, tone and snappy amounts, the Toms \u0026amp; Cymbals at every tuning available, and finally the hi hats at different decays. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext, we recorded processed variations of these same drum groups, coloring everything through hardware saturators, tube EQs, tube DIs, transient designing, MPC, SP1200, and a mastering reel to reel 1\/4\" tape machine. The Bass Drum, for instance, contains Clean, Tube, Tape, and Colored versions of the same exact groups. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, we took our second 909 and ran it through an SSL 4000, going crazy with EQ, filtering, compression and gating, recording the results to tape. Once on tape, we played back the tape at different speeds to achieve new analog tunings of the 909 previously never heard. The idea of this second batch of samples is to provide a really diverse, somewhat random \"Various\" folder for every drum voice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"tr-909-samples\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/tape.jpg?14808320306747493993\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe End Result\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe end result is a 909 Sample Library and 909 Instrument that should satisfy purists looking for extensive clean 909 hits, and more experimental types in search of modern coloring, dirt, grit, and interesting 909 tunings and modulations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WAV contains extensive individual hits folders but also pre-built 16x Hit kits for instant jamming.

These patterns lend themselves perfectly to layering with heavier beats, but they're also great on their own. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/CR-78---crop--web.jpg?449\" alt=\"cr-78-samples\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Recording Process\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've captured both the one hits and the patterns, sampling two different CR78s for added variety.

It featured a combination of Linndrum, LM1, and 909 style sounds, but sounded grittier and more compressed.

The 606  can be heard all over early Plastikman, Aphex, Autechre, Paranoid London and more. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/DSC00902.jpg?17911334893390783930\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the unique aspects of the 606's sound is the internal, dynamic clipping that occurs on each drum voice when you start using the accents. The louder the accent, the more clipping that occurs.

This signal path went directly to our 1\/4\" Otari mastering reel to reel, and into an SSL gate *after the tape machine* to add slight analog VCA punch. Finally the results reached our computer via Apogee Symphony.

Not a problem! We ran it through our two favorite 12bit samplers of all time - the MPC60 and SP1200. By capturing the samplers' unique tunings (15 per voice) and clipping the inputs *just* the right amount, we ended up with a killer pack of re-sampled, dirty and characterful 606 drums. The noise and aliasing the samples give the sounds allow them to really punch through a mix - plus it's an interesting way to directly compare the sound of the MPC60 and SP1200 (in Ableton there is a macro you can use to switch between samplers).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/MP-606.jpg?7442128384156996062\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Modified 606\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, we sampled a heavily modified 606 that has an entire second body of controls built onto this classic drum machine. There's now a MASSIVE bass boost to the original tom, transforming it into a monstrous, booming sub kick that sounds like a cross between an 808 and 909. There are multi-pitched snares, uniquely metallic hi hats and trashier cymbals, and an extensive collection of tuned toms - none of which you'll find in any other 606 samples. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/Modded-606.jpg?10502273977107417170\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe End Result\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately we ended up recording 3 different 606s - the original, the modified, and a third, sampled through the MPC60 and SP1200.

We reached for an API preamp for its sharp and classic transient response, recording directly to tape (multi-sampling every hit with 16 SP tunings) and no additional processing was neccesary. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also spent weeks creating custom drum sounds - incorporating drum machines such as the 606, 707, 808, 909, DX, vinyl drums (sometimes pitching up the record to 45rpm and tuning it down in the SP), and more - multi-sampling all hits at different tunings. Leaving some things dry, and massively processing others with compressors, filters, synths, and saturators, we sampled different outputs of the machine. All recorded to tape. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd finally, we sampled some synths to throw in as a bonus (Juno 60, Polysix, DX-100) because the SP creates gnarly overtones for bass and magical fairy dust on house chords. The DX and SP especially liked each other. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith only 10 seconds of overall sample time, and just 2.5 seconds maximum sample time per pad, we recorded different notes for each synth patch, tuned them every which way, ran it through our super warm Rupert-Neve designed ISA 430 Mk2, occasionally hitting tape, and into the computer, where we mapped, looped, and put finishing touches on the patches. This was a laborious (torturous?) process to say the least, but well worth it! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter sifting through SP synth patches and custom drums for weeks, we narrowed it down to an all-killer- no-filler set of instruments for Ableton, Logic \u0026amp; Kontakt, so that you can enjoy everything that is beautiful about this sampler while avoiding all the idiosyncrasies that make you want to gouge your eyes out! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/200550195\u0026amp;color=ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch6 style=\"padding-left: 30px; padding-top: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFactory Drums:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e400 Original SP-1200 \"Standard Traps\" Drums with 16 pitches of each drum hit recorded to tape. 24bit WAV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoogie \/ Linn \/ DX style pseudo-acoustic 80s drum kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully mapped Ableton Live 9.7+ Drum Rack with 25 pads of drums, each containing 16 SP-1200 pitches per pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 fully mapped Kontakt 5.6.5+ (Does not work on Kontakt Player) and Logic Instruments \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24bit WAV includes \"loud\" and \"quiet\" versions, individual hits, and 2 cherry-picked 16 sound kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch6 style=\"padding-left: 30px; padding-top: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCustom Drums:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1700 Custom Drums sampled from drum machines \/ vinyl \/ \"other\" drums and recorded to tape at 10 - 16 pitches each per drum hit. 24 bit WAV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluding sounds from: 606, 707, 808, 909, DX and more \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully mapped Ableton Live 9.7 Drum Rack with 128 pads of drums, each containing 10-16 SP-1200 pitches per pad. 4 pre-made kits and 5 additional chromatic percussion instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e23 fully mapped Kontakt 3.5+ (does not work on Kontakt Player) and Logic instruments - individual hits and 4 pre-made kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24bit WAV includes \"loud\" and \"quiet\" samples, individual hits, and 4 cherry-picked 16 sound WAV kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 25px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch6 style=\"padding-left: 30px; padding-top: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCustom Synths:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11 custom synth instruments built from sampling a Juno 60, Polysix and DX100 into the SP-1200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully mapped for Ableton Live 9.7+, Kontakt 3.5+ (does not work on Kontakt Player) and Logic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24bit WAV labeled with note name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e293 MB Unzipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SAMPLES FROM MARS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40770784886974,"sku":"","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/products\/SP1200.jpg?v=1456598182"},{"product_id":"found-sounds-from-mars","title":"FOUND SOUNDS FROM MARS","description":"\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Collection of Acoustic Field Recordings Re-Pitched on Tape \u0026amp; More\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this release, we had field recording experts Jonathan Hyde, Adam Newns \u0026amp; Simon Haines capture unique foley and acoustic sound FX in different natural environments (totaling over 16 minutes of audio), and then took the results back to SFM headquarters, where we tube saturated them, re-pitched them on tape, and morphed them through the crazy Lexicon Vortex. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recorded percussive and ambient sounds in various natural environments - nature, on the street, indoors, in a studio - and with different materials - wood, glass, plastic, our body, etc. We recorded vocals, rain hitting various objects, thunder, traffic, the ocean, vinyl, elevators, refrigerators, drill bursts, pepper grinder, toaster, metal pots, coins, plastic bins, metal gates, tree chops, twig snaps, water droplets, PVC pipes and more. Our field recording setup was a Sennheiser 416, Sound Devices 302, into a Zoom H6.

We layered patches and used complex modulations, but also captured many single oscillator basic waveshapes.

The sound was unbeatable - early 70s analog drums, with airy hi hats, a punchy snare and the snappy analog percussion you might find on an old Suicide or Brian Eno record.

The original kickdrum is punchy, but very high pitched, so in addition to recording it naturally, we applied further processing. By recording it to tape and playing it back at extremely slow speeds, we achieved much deeper bass drums. By inserting a Moog lowpass filter after the tape machine we captured all of the attack frequencies, while filtering the sustain, achieving a darker, more 808ish result. Then, we inserted a valley people dyna-mite gate, adding a punchy, analog click to each kick. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne the hits were recorded, we also grabbed full audio loops of each of the original patterns of the machine, with and without the kick drum.

Multi-sampling each hit at 8-16 different pitches on the SP, we recorded the results to tape, and played back the tape at half speed, normal, and double speed to achieve even more hardware pitching. Ultimately this gave us up to 48 different pitches for each drum hit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd since many of these sounds are tonal, the re-pitching allowed us to build keyboards perfect for basslines, chords and unique percussion melodies.

For other patches, however, we went over the top with analog distortion, saturating through tubes, tape, guitar pedals, hardware EQs and analog filters, and finally through Apogee conversion. This combination of recording techniques gives the instruments the widest sonic range possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Parallel Bandpass Trick\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resonant bandpass filter can give you a super punchy and aggressive midrange, or a shockingly deep bass boost, depending on where you've set the cutoff. By sending one oscillator to the bandpass filter (with the resonance cranked), and the other oscillator straight to the VCA or lowpass filter, we were able to achieve some of the warmest but simultaneously aggressive basses we've ever heard. No other synth at this time (or now?) was capable of this type of processing. In fact, after using this technique extensively we read a Human League interview where they describe how discovering this bandpass filter changed their entire synth sound - pretty much the same experience we had. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the following example, 6 different bandpass filter cutoffs were multi-sampled and modulated via keyboard velocity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/272453514%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-mgwML\u0026amp;color=ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\" height=\"166\" width=\"100%\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExperimental FX\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FX of the SH5 truly shine and we synthesized everything from telephone rings to dustbusters, oceans of white noise, sample and hold madness and old radio hiss:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/272453521%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-3mCYS\u0026amp;color=ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\" height=\"166\" width=\"100%\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nAnother cool technique we used was taking the headphone output and re-routing it back into the audio input to give us over the top harmonic distortion and a kind of vowel shape to the filter. \n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHuge Polyphony\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may seem obvious but perhaps the best part about sampling this monster was transforming it from a mono synth into a beautiful \u003cem\u003epolyphonic\u003c\/em\u003e keyboard, capable of lush chords, dark pads, analog vibraphones and insane polyphonic soundscapes.

the help of Kraftwerk, released several small synth components in the newly designed Eurorack format. Beginning with simple analog modules, the company paved the way for others to create their own designs, which naturally began to stray (in the best of ways) from the traditional modules. Today, the format is more popular than ever, with hundreds of Eurorack modules, ranging from simple VCOs to advanced DSP effects units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Eurorack system is the culmination of collecting and piecing together these modules for the past ten years, and is a pretty good representation of where the modular world is at today. It's filled with unique sequencers, wonky FX, and almost infinite modulation possibilities. On any given day you never know exactly what you're going to get out of it, but you can be sure of one thing: whatever it is, it'll be a unique modular creation that is impossible to achieve with any other type of gear. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/Modular-Creations-Filt--2.jpg?2819644863469042231\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Recording Process \/ Capturing the Loops\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecording a modular system for people to use in their DAWs is a challenge, because the beauty of modular synthesis is not only found in the sounds, but in the continuously modulating characteristics of each patch. Whether this is the shifting of a sequencer's timing, or modulating an effect's internal digital processor with a slight CV signal \u003cspan\u003e(a modular trick that would actually blow up a modern computer's processor), the beauty is all in the movement. \u003c\/span\u003eBecause of this, we thought the most authentic representation of our modular would be to record batches of long loops and drones (at 120 bpm), and edit them down, isolating each at their most useable moment in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/262726472\u0026amp;color=ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis approach allowed us to capture the weird, little (and sometimes big) nuances that modulars produce. In one instance, we used the filter cutoff as a modulation source, and applied that signal simultaneously to the room size of a reverb and the pitch of a frequency shifter. Creating these types of interactions, you soon start to hear how cool the results of unlikely parameters sharing the same modulation signals are...kind of like how two people that have been at odds with each other can become best buds (think Bob Moog and Don Buchla...RIP)!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the recording process, we patched many modules together, ultimately focusing our efforts on 7 primary sound sources: the Basimilus, Elements, Model15, STO, Teleharmonix, Tides, and VCO6, capturing the results through a variety of preamps (API, Neve, EMT, NonLinear) best suited for each sound. We synthesized all types of stuff: percussive synth syncopations, 8 bit basslines, wonky guitar sounds, mallets, sirens, falling jenga blocks and cracked out claves to name a few. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmbient Drones and Raw Voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBesides rhythms and sequences, we also created super complex, long (sometimes over a minute) passes of evolving drones - using ultra slow sequencers to continually modulate the ambience.

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!).

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!). Six years ago I was broke and inspired and took a chance on an idea that might support my drum machine addiction for years to come.

At 32 keys, it's quite small (doubling nicely as a keytar), and offering simple synthesis sliders, allowing for quick and easy sound design.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut despite its simple architecture, the sound is quite famous - it's punchy, aggressive, rubbery and fast, capable of distinct acid, wobbly basslines and recognizable leads. But above all else, the SH-101 is all about character. There's just something about its sound that people love - especially when you start cranking the resonance and overdriving the VCF with a mean square wave. It's a great synth, at a great size, with excellent sound, serving as one of electronic music's go-to performance machines since its introduction in the 80s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/101-full.jpg?8803931044628464754\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Recording Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur sampling efforts with the 101 were focused primarily in two areas: 1. capturing the simplicity of this single oscillator synth as it exists in the real world, and 2. extensively processing, multi-sampling and layering it to bring the 101 into new sonic territory. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the simpler patches we captured raw waveforms, and opted for less processing, using fast preamps like an API 512C to maintain the 101's transients and squelching resonance. Things can get acidy quite quickly - there are definite sonic similarities between the 101, 303 and MC202, but the 101 offers its own brand of acid, making it perfect for techno.

We multi-layered different LFO rates, filter and noise settings. We even created huge, stereo instruments: dialing in a patch on the 101, recording it, and then slightly detuning \/ changing the filter and LFO rate, sampling that, and panning it with the original.

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. The results mean you can get much more mileage out of these sounds - the following is all 727 From Mars (plus a 707 kick; also included): \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/319637471%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-fiYSC\u0026amp;color=ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Quijadas, bells and chimes become crazy, elongated, dark percussion hits (add a delay and things get really insane).

With an original (and quite rare) 6581 R4AR chip at its core, the Sidstation has all the bells and whistles of a modern synth, including 3 multi-waveform oscillators, an analog resonant filter, and four LFOs.

And with a little bit of processing it's easy to get the 626 to really come alive:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/348882174%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-ffSLu\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%\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Recording Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe decided to capture the 626 in the spirit of the original samples - clean and dry. First, we popped some batteries in to remove the inevitable hum from the original power supply. From there, it was straight into our punchy API preamp, and directly to tape, finally capturing the results through the excellent Symphony MKII converter. We multi-sampled every drum voice at all 15 pitches (the pitching is digital and crunchy!). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce we'd captured the samples cleanly, we opted for an additional, \u003cem\u003eslightly\u003c\/em\u003e colored version of every drum sound. For this coloration, we called on the amazing Overstayer Saturator (in parallel, to open up the sustain a bit) and the super clean Thermionic Swift EQ. We purposefully only applied slight processing, so that whatever EQ, saturation, compression you use will sound better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe results: just over 900 individual 24 bit 626 samples, formatted for your favorite software, and featuring (8) 16 hit kits, perfect for instant jamming.

The 505 is inherently bright, so the SP helped give it an even more vintage and colored sound. Plus, it's been sampled through our new API 1608 to tape.

machine developed in 1981, featuring acoustic drum samples and a warm, analog filter. The DMX is just about the closest you can get to the sound of a Linn LM1 without spending a mortgage on a drum machine. The drums are punchy and funky, instantly recognizable, and fully tune-able via internal trimmers: \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\/BYvLc8CboNc?rel=0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the DMX are 11, 8 bit PCM acoustic drum samples that have been companded (compressed and expanded) to increase their dynamic range, making the sound quality approximately 12 bit in the analog domain. All samples pass through the famous Curtis 3320 analog filter chip, and are output through crunchy, old skool converters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom this you might assume the DMX sounds Lo Fi - but you'd be wrong! Instead, the sound is sophisticated and classic - like a pseudo - acoustic drum set frozen in time. And despite being digital, the filters give it an unmistakeable organic warmth, making the sounds come alive, and sit easily in a mix. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the DX, the DMX has a warm bass drum, crunchy snares, boxy boogie toms,  classic hi hats and shaker. But it also features a range of sounds the DX does not - a more LM1 type clap, that amazing 90s house rimshot and tambourine, a ride cymbal, and a second group of toms. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapturing the Samples\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an effort to retain the exact character and punch of the original machine, the recording process was kept simple. We tracked every hit through an API 512 preamp, to tape, and through an Apogee Symphony MKII. Each drum voice was tuned by hand (tilting back the hood of the drum machine and accessing the little thumb wheel) 24 times. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/DMX-1.jpg?11656669838967126867\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the clean samples were captured we did a round of processing to provide some color and RMS (loudness) to the kit. Using our trusty Overstayer Saturator in parallel, we added more harmonics and dirt to the attack; by EQing a little bass out before the saturation, and back in afterwards (via API EQs) we were able to really drive the midrange on things like the Toms. Through parallel hard clipping (Overstayer M-A-S), we increased the fatness of the Bass Drum; tightened the claps with an SPL Transient Designer, and used a tube EQ to darken drum various drum hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter sampling was complete, all of the hits were then chopped and painstakingly arranged into individual hits and 16x hit kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSampling the DMX Through the S612\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DMX samples are solid and straightforward - so in an effort to make things weird we ran it through our favorite sounding sampler of all time - the Akai S612. The 612 was Akai's first sampler, and is an amazing sounding 12 bit sampler with a user-definable sample rate (via midi note), a clippable input, start \/ stop sliders, and a sweet analog filter (just like the DMX) to top it all off, so it seemed like the perfect companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/S612-Web.jpg?6168021595122767386\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the DMX sampling session was calculated, the 612 session was a lengthy, freeform jam. We played DMX drum hits into the 612, changing pitches on the DMX, recording in at different levels (from clean to smashed), changing sample rates on the 612, and applying various filter and decay settings, all the while sampling every useable pitch for each drum voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe modulated the ride cymbal with a pitch LFO, adjusted the start point on Toms to turn them into massive sub hits, reversed hi hats, and even created looping rimshots and shakers, whose delays get faster the higher up in pitch they go. Even the inherent hiss of the 612 played a major role in the sampling process - by leaving snare tails long at the end, the hiss acts as a kind of \"air\" that gives the samples depth, and reverb.

The closed Hi Hats (you get Accent and No Accent) are created by an analog VCA that opens and closes the open hi hat sample. Because the attack and release of the gate is always changing, so are the hi hat transients.

The 1608 can be saturated much harder than its API 500 series counterparts since there are so many more transformers. The benefit of console saturation is that, as opposed to using a bunch of different distortion devices (which we tried at first), using only the console resulted in a much more cohesive color, allowing the samples to play like one instrument. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also used our API 560, API 550B, some slight API 2500 Compression, and the Overstayer Saturator, to create colored hits. These are mostly subtle colors that bring up the RMS, make the sounds a bit darker, and add more hardware harmonics so they cut through a mix more easily.

People loaded their own sounds (Most LM1 sample packs unknowingly have the wrong sounds because of this), and some even had their EPROMs edited to get rid of that funky head at the top of snare samples. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first LM1 we sampled comprises the majority of the drum hits in this pack. In all aspects, this was a traditional LM1 with working filters and no chopped EPROMs - except that instead of Congas it had a second pair of Toms. AND - Quincy Jones modified the unit to have a Ride and Crash Cymbal! The crash is identical to the one on Prince's \"777\" - it's a non standard crash that I haven't heard anywhere else, so it is likely this unit may have been used on that recording. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second LM1 (ours) had the filter removed from the Bass Drum and Toms. That, or the filter is broken. Either way, this allows for a much more cutting Bass Drum, closer to a 707 (which I'm told may have stolen sounds from the LM1). It also had those original congas we were after. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/DSC01202.jpg?428631337910790171\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, we combined the best aspects of both LM1s and were able to create a super extensive pack, offering both filtered and non filtered bass drums and toms, all original sounds, a crash and ride, and even trimmed versions of the bass drum, snare, toms and cowbells. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe End Result\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe end result is a detailed, well organized and extremely high quality collection of LM1 samples that allows you to just as easily dive deep into any individual sound at any pitch, or just jam out on the pre built kits.

sequencer developed in 1982 by MPC Electronics. In contrast to Akai's more famous line of digital MPC samplers, this MPC is a short-lived, 100% analog drum synthesizer that sounds something like an 808 crossed with a 606 and a Simmons. But due to its lack of commercial success, these sounds have gone largely unused in modern music - making the MPC1 a perfect opportunity to use vintage, analog drum hits while standing out from the more popularized sounds of that era like the 808 and 909. And it looks just as unique as it sounds: \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\/4-c_Xmzx1Zg?rel=0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe History\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMPC Electronics was formed in Cambridge, England, the early 80s, when drum computers like the LM1 were just starting to gain momentum and there was still room for true innovation in the drum machine world. The company initially developed a small, single prototype of a drum machine that you could play with your fingers, called The Kit. With just one working unit, they packed it in a small suitcase, and headed for NAMM. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEven though the unit barely\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003efunctioned (every so often they'd duck behind the curtains to repair it, telling on-lookers they were showing it to press), The Kit was met with a \u003ci\u003emassive \u003c\/i\u003eamount of interest, winning \"Product of the Show\" award, securing a distribution deal and about £ 250,000 in orders! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eUnfortunately, the company was inexperienced when it came to mass manufacturing and hadn't yet figured out how to scale the production of this unique drum synth. While they managed to produce a small amount of working units, The Kit was shortlived, and it wasn't long until focused their efforts on a new and more advanced follow up: the MPC1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/mpc_dec83_p43_key.jpg?3\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn contrast to The Kit, The MPC1 boasted larger pads which could now be played with drum sticks. It also featured a plethora of tweak-able knobs, direct outs, din sync, and a fully functioning sequencer that could be tapped into live. It was, and is still, unlike any other drum machine out there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBut like the Kit, The MPC1 never quite reached the commercial success it deserved and eventually the company folded, and was sold to Akai in 1984, who continued to develop the foundation of ideas laid out by MPC Electronics. Without enough info to properly verify, we can only assume that some of these ideas are what ultimately led to the more famous line of MPC samplers we all know so well today. While technically speaking the MPC1 (Music Percussion Computer) couldn't be further from Roger Linn's MPCs (Music Production Center), it is very likely that it nonetheless inspired and informed Akai's most classic line of drum samplers.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Sounds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe MPC1 sounds as analog as it looks. At the heart of every drum sound is a VCO, which is followed by various filters, pitch modulation, white noise, decay, and cutely named parameters like \"Tightn\". With so many knobs, it's no wonder the machine sounds so expressive: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/583453965\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\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bass drum is reminiscent of an 808 at certain settings, with a super punchy attack transient, and a thumping low end (best brought out with a touch of processing). Like the 808, the decay is adjustable, but unlike the 808, the BD can be tuned higher, which allows it to be paired nicely with lower toms. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe toms can range from flat and tonal 808-style, to pointy, pitch modulated syn-toms. And by adjusting the (downright confusing!) noise parameters, you can get powerful white noise bursts. Lay down a sequence, start tweaking the toms, and you'll get you some of the most expressive and varied sounds out of any drum synth we've heard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/MPC-tape-hi.jpg?10\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\nThe Clap, although lacking parameters, is one of the coolest sounds on the machine, and is instantly reminiscent of Kraftwerk. Being fully analog, every clap is unique, so it is quite expressive when sequenced. To capture this, we multi-sampled 5 claps which can be triggered via round robin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe hi hats and cymbals, when combined with the sequencer, are easily the grooviest part of this machine. Set the parameters conservatively and they sound close to a 606; at more extreme settings (turning the “tone” knob to max)\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethey can be transformed into metallic and almost harsh but deeply analog cymbals. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe snare is also quite unique. At closed filter settings it's almost identical to an 808, but start opening up the noise and decay parameters, and a bright, punchy and brittle white noise drum hit is revealed. It almost sounds like a broken 909 snare - but once you warm it up with some EQ it sounds wonderful. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Sampling Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe amount of knobs on the MPC makes it exciting for producing but quite overwhelming for sampling! So we asked ourselves - how can we capture all of these parameters without going overboard? This proved extremely challenging and began with a complete oversampling the unit. We captured all of the parameter combinations for every voice - pitch, decay, noise, bend, tightn, you name it - cleanly, with no processing. Then, we mapped everything and spent months narrowing down the sample groups to only the most useable hits, while still providing the dynamic range and depth of the MPC1's synthesis that makes it so special. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/MPC-Closeup-Hi.jpg?10\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOnce we had a powerful and concise rack of samples, we went to town creating processed versions - recording into our API console hot, using an API 2500 compressor in parallel, Overstayer Saturator and MAS, and generous amounts of API EQ. The goal was to retain the overall character of the MPC1 while making the samples bigger, more focused and generally more \"production ready\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNext, we spent weeks creating groups of 16x hit kits - this was our chance to really figure out which tunings and parameters played best together. The goal of this process was to simplify everything and make it easy to grab small amounts of MPC1 samples on a whim.

With so many multi-sampled parameter settings, tunings, and different types of processing, the individual hits are extremely in depth. And the kits are the opposite - simple and musical. Together, both provide an excellent picture of what makes the MPC1 so great. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdescimage\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/MPC-action-temp.jpg?3\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the End \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere isn't a lot of info on the MPC1 out there, but after a little research it's clear this product was designed by a group of extremely passionate and forward thinking engineers, who unfortunately didn't have enough business expertise to truly grow the product to commercial success. While this is no doubt unfortunate, it means the MPC1 has largely gone un-noticed, un-used, and certainly un-sampled throughout all of these years, making it a great opportunity to compose music with vintage, analog drum sounds that aren't on a lot of records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnd while you may think you want one for your studio, even if you can find one (thanks \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundgas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSoundgas\u003c\/a\u003e!) they are actually very frustrating to use in a modern production session - so we suggest sticking to the samples! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch6 style=\"padding-left: 30px; padding-top: 19px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e874 24bit WAV Samples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(10) 16x Hit Kits for easy jamming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean \u0026amp; Color versions of all samples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog, 808 style Bass Drum, White Noise Snare Drum, Kraftwerk Claps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimmons-esc Toms, 606 style Hi Hats and Crunchy Cymbals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery voice multi-sampled via parameters where possible (Pitch, Decay, Noise Blend and more)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClap sampled via round robin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecorded through an API 1608 console, Apogee Symphony, and other class A recording gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Hardware processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Midi Groove template captures the MPC1's signature quantize \u0026amp; groove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e125.5 MB Unzipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/5667\/files\/MPC1_From_Mars_-_About.rtf?6\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMPC1 - About\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch6 style=\"padding-left: 30px; padding-top: 19px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormatting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbleton includes (1) master drum rack containing all samples, with Macros for selecting clean \/ color, MPC1 parameters, and Clap round robin.
