Drum Machines
While laying down some beats recently, we recalled that we had some truly stellar drum machine packs to mine in our archive…
FROM THE VAULT
Cyclick Drum Machines
Cyclick weren’t beating about the bush when they produced pulsepounding pack of original samples, as Rob explained…
CYCLICK DRUM MACHINES
“This sample pack has six kits of modelled analogue, synthgenerated drum sounds. The seven components per kit have been hand/trackpad-carved from VA synths: the Modular, Synthi, SEM and ARP 2600 from the Arturia V Collection and the GForce OB-E. These were levelled and processed with an EQ, compressor and transient shaper. Each drum machine was sent to a pair of group buses for further compression, EQ, reverb, saturation, plus an exciter and limiter. The resulting loops are spread across seven tempos and each kit contributes a main beat and an alt mix through the second bus per tempo.
