Hi
I guess this news might be interesting for vintage drum machines lovers :

WaveShaper has just released two new drumsamples packs : The "Soul sisters trio" drumpack gathers the sound of rare and vintage drum machines into a single convenient package, while "MR10 : Grey Matter" captures the vibe of a small-sized drum machine from the early 80s.

MR-10 | grey matter

Image

The MR-10 is a compact analogue drum machine from the early 80's made by Yamaha. It features 5 pads that you can hit to trigger the sounds and some cheesy tango & waltz presets.

This tiny grey box has a rather characteristic sound, with a deep kick (somewhat reminiscent of the infamous 909) and a quite unique snare. The tone knob lets you shape the sound of the kit, and it is very efficient on the toms and snare. It sounds 200% analogue, but not like the usual suspects, so this carefully recorded WaveShaper pack will fit in any of your music productions, from electro pop to doom exotica !

As always, great care has been taken to keep the original sound alive and kicking with a high headroom, but some subtle tube coloring and compression assures you to make this kit sound unique.

- The pro kit gathers 5 tone variations from each of the 7 individual sounds, in stereo, 24bit, 48khz wav files. It costs only 1,40$.
- The free kit lets you play with one full sample kit (7 sounds, mono, 16bit/44.1khz wav files).

SOUL SISTERS PACK | three of a perfect pair

Image

This pack introduces you to 3 drum machines built at the same time. These three small retro boxes are sometimes considered as clones, but they each have their unique character and a different sound.

The Boss DR-55 features a rimshot and a tone control. It was used by a bunch of artists in the past decades for its signature sound.
The Soundmaster SR-88 has a very delicate, soft, analogue sound and is perfect for electro tracks or sweet retro songs.
The Amdek RMK-100 is the rarest of the bunch. It was built by Roland and sold as a DIY project, which makes it very hard to find. The sound is the rawest of the three, and the hi-hats are a true gem for any acid and electro lover.

They were recorded with the usual care, through a custom chain of gentle tube compression and a tube preamp. Several takes were recorded in order to capture the subtle analogue variations of each sound. Any round-robin able softsampler will love to be fed by these analogue sounds.
