Samples From Mars has introduced a new sample pack featuring the sounds of a curated collection of 20 rare and overlooked vintage drum machines.
If you’ve ever heard a drum machine on a record and couldn’t quite place it, Lo-Fi Drum Machines is for you. Built from the everyday gear that powered countless studios, bedrooms, and early productions, these nostalgic machines were the affordable, accessible alternatives to out-of-reach classics like the 808.
At first glance they may seem unremarkable – but their limitations are exactly what give them a gritty, hard-hitting character that pricier machines simply can’t replicate.
Lo-Fi Drum Machines features
- 750 Lo-Fi Drum Machines Samples (24-bit Wav).
- 20 drum kits with 16 hits each, for instant jamming.
- Classic lo-fi machines like the RZ-1, DDD-5, RX-11, DR-550, and MR-16.
- Gritty Bass Drums, crunchy Snares, cutting Hats and classic eighties Toms.
- Bongos, Congas, Guiros, Cuicas, Surdos, Claves, Snaps and more.
- Sampled through an API 1608 console and Apogee Symphony.
- 100% hardware processing.
The sample pack is on sale for the intro price of $14.50 USD for a limited time (regular $29 USD).
