Samples From Mars has returned with a collection of SP-1200 samples pressed to vinyl and then sampled. Featuring drum kits made from the sounds of the 808, 909, 707, CR78, and LM1, Perkons and Machinedrum, and acoustic drums and percussion, Vinyl SP From Mars also comes with synth stabs, fx, subs, and static and vocal chops.
The SP-1200 is an iconic, genre-defining, 12 bit sampler from 1987 known for its crunchy, almost vinyl-like sound and brilliant, “fairy dust” harmonics. It adds a magic texture to anything that you sample into it. We made a pack with the SP back in 2016 and have been dying to revisit it ever since. But this time, we wanted to explore how the SP interacts with our favorite recording medium, vinyl!
So we sampled drum machines, acoustic drums, guitar, synth, bass, vocals and music stems directly into the SP, clipping, re-pitching, chopping, and processing it to taste. Then, we pressed the results to vinyl and sampled that, creating an incredible library of 700 Vinyl SP one-hits, caked in character from the beautiful interaction between our favorite sampler and recording medium.
The sample pack is on sale for the intro price of $14.50 USD for a limited time (regular $29 USD).
