Peter den Herder has released a sample pack featuring a collection of lo-fi bass sounds created with the Yamaha TX81Z, a rackmount multitimbral FM synthesizer from 1987.
Geared towards House and Techno music production, the pack features a total of 234 key-labeled (multi) samples.
I always create my patches from scratch, but this time I also made some variations on the famous “Lately bass” preset.
Funny detail: Lots of samples are derived from TX81Z patches that are useless on the hardware itself. Only one or a few notes sound right, but when sampled, the sound cán have a chromatic life in your sampler. This results in quite unique bass sounds.
Available in WAV and AIFF formats, the free download is 99.9 MB in size and includes both 16- and 24-bit versions:
- WAV: Lo-Fi TX81Z FM Bass Sample Pack (downloads: 836)
- AIFF: Lo-Fi TX81Z FM Bass Sample Pack (downloads: 334)
You can listen to the samples from the pack below.
