SampleScience has announced the release of RX-21 HD, a high definition sample pack featuring the sounds of the Yamaha RX-21 drum machine.

The RX-21 is a mid-eighties entry level drum machine featuring one drum kit that can also be found on other Yamaha drum machine models (among them, the Yamaha RX-11 which has been used by Aphex Twin on his latest album and also on his previous double album “Drukqs”).

Included in the pack are the clean recordings of the RX-21 drum sounds in 16 bit, 24 bit and 32 bit 44.1kHz wav file format. As a bonus, we also added tube processed samples with 4 round robins and a cool 80s reverb version of the RX-21 drum kit.

The sample pack is a free download from SampleScience. Make sure to check the recently released TR-626 HD for a collection of Roland TR-626 sounds.
