With tuning functions for the Side Stick, Snare, Toms & Congas, we recorded multiple pitches into the MPC.
We also re-pitched every drum voice in the MPC, which lends its unique tuning / aliasing to the original drum machine sounds, giving them a completely new characteristic: gritty, punchy, and grainy.įirst, we took the original drum machine and sampled every voice cleanly into the MPC. Think: Human League, Prince, 80s Boogie, early hip hop, disco and more.īy sampling the machine through the MPC, we crunched the sound up even further through the 60’s 12bit converters, recording at different levels (some clipped, some not clipped). It’s such a big sound often it needs to be EQd to fit in a mix.
The original drum machine is composed of classic, 80s 8 bit percussion and sounds incredible. Samples From Mars Linn60 From Mars MULTIFORMATĨ0s 8 Bit Drums Transformed by the Classic 12bit MPCįor this release, we’ve taken one of our favorite drum machines of all time (in fact, it’s the drum machine that started it all for Samples From Mars) and recorded it into one of our favorite samplers, the MPC60.
