Autodafe has released the Mega Drum Machines Collection, a free sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt.
This Kontakt library started as a personal project for myself, then evolved into something else.
The library contains samples of about 150 old, vintage, obscure, rare and hard to find drum machines.
The samples have been around since forever, I believe, I simply started to organize them a bit.
What has been done:
- Each kit has been mapped in a General Midi format (more or less, many old drum machines only have 4-5 sounds)
- Each kit has been divided into 5 groups: Kicks, Snares, Hats, Cymbals and Toms
- Each Group has custom controls for tuning, panning and volume
- Each kit has custom graphics
It tooks hours and hours getting the kits ready. The Collection is free but please consider a small donation, 5 dollars suggested.
