Machinedrum Sample Pack
The Elektron Machinedrum, first introduced in the early 2000s, was not simply a drum machine. It was a digital architecture built to generate percussion with surgical precision and metallic sharpness. Its synthesis models produced results that went beyond drum programming, moving into the territory of sound design. Even today, no software plugin has managed to fully replicate its distinctive texture.
This collection captures that uniqueness. Every sample was recorded directly from the Machinedrum itself. No external processing, no layering. What you hear is the circuitry of early Elektron design, distilled into one-shots that highlight the instrument’s raw identity.

Sound as Circuit: The Material Signature of Elektron Analog Rytm

https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

In the world of modern drum synthesis, few machines have achieved the level of circuit-specific identity that the Elektron Analog Rytm embodies. It is not a sampler. It is not just an analog drum synth. It is a dynamic system where non-linear saturation, voltage interaction, and microcontroller precision combine to produce results that feel tactile.

This sample pack was created to capture those behaviors directly at the source.
Every sound has been recorded without digital post-processing, in order to preserve the natural transients, filtering irregularities, and dynamic headroom behavior unique to the machine.

Hyper Arpeggio | Roland JP-8080

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto



"Roland JP-8000/8080 | A Convergence of Sonic History and Future Innovation

Greetings, fellow sonic architects.

In the relentless pursuit of unparalleled sound, we often find ourselves drawn to the very essence of what makes a waveform resonate with unique character. It is within this spirit of exploration that we wish to share a recent development, an evolution in the very fabric of digital sound design.

Before we delve deeper into the intricacies, allow us to present the coordinates for this journey:

Explore the evolution: JP-8000 - 8080 (Sample Pack) ver.3.5: https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

The Genesis of Texture: Reimagining Digital Warmth

For decades, the digital realm has strived to replicate the organic nuances of analog synthesis. Yet, a select few instruments from a pivotal era achieved a distinct warmth, a "softness" that modern software often struggles to emulate. This unique sonic signature, characterized by a rounded edge in its harmonic contours, defines a particular epoch of electronic music. It is a sound that transcends mere emulation, rooted in the very architecture of its digital modeling.

Consider the foundational elements of electronic music: the driving pulse, the atmospheric expanse, the melodic narrative. Each requires a specific textural quality to truly captivate. Our ongoing research and development in this domain have led to a significant refinement of a collection dedicated to these very principles. This material is meticulously curated for beatmakers operating within the intricate landscapes of Neo Trance, Future Garage, Wave, Hardwave, and Witch House, where the precise articulation of sound is paramount.

An Unveiling: Hyper Arpeggio and Beyond"

Our latest iteration, designated as version 3.5, introduces a novel element that pushes the boundaries of rhythmic and atmospheric integration: the Hyper Arpeggio. These are not merely sequences; they are high-velocity, BPM-agnostic drones, meticulously crafted to emphasize the distinct, almost liquid phrasing inherent to the original sound source. This particular characteristic, a unique "rounded edge" in its articulation, is a direct consequence of the original hardware's design, a feature that remains remarkably difficult to replicate with contemporary synthesis methods. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of instruments like the Roland JP-8000 and JP-8080, progenitors of the legendary Super Saw, whose influence continues to shape the sonic landscape.

The Electric Music Box: Exploring a Vintage Buchla 200 Modular System

video upload by Sarah Belle Reid

"Join my Patreon community to support future video projects like this one, and to access behind-the-scenes content + community events: https://www.patreon.com/sarahbellereid

In the spring of 2025, I spent a week at the Stony Brook University Electronic Music Studio, working closely with their original Buchla 200 Series modular synthesizer. Built in the early 1970s by pioneering instrument designer Donald Buchla & associates, this rare instrument is one of the few surviving and fully intact systems of its kind.

Due to its rarity, very few musicians have had the opportunity to interact with an original 200 system firsthand. I hope this video will help bridge that gap by sharing the instrument’s sound, design philosophy, and aesthetic intentions with a wider audience.

The video begins with a brief historical overview of the Buchla 200 Series and its role in the rapidly evolving landscape of 1970s electronic music. From there, I dive into a detailed walkthrough of the system, exploring each module with sound demonstrations and examples. We conclude with some reflections on the Buchla 200’s design philosophy, offering insights into the types of musical interaction the instrument was built to encourage (and why it continues to resonate with musicians and designers today).

The Secret to the "Oberheim Sound"

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

See the full interview here.

"Discover the true origin of the “Oberheim Sound” in this rare and revealing conversation. Legendary synth pioneer Tom Oberheim himself explains how he dialed in his iconic tone—locking himself in a room with nothing but a bag of resistors, capacitors, and an oscilloscope. Over several days, Tom tweaked and tuned until he was satisfied, even embracing a level of filter distortion that most engineers at the time would have rejected. That bold choice became the unmistakable warmth, grit, and musicality that defined the Oberheim legacy.

He’s joined by Marcus Ryle (Alesis, Line 6) and Rob Rosen (Rosen Sound) as they dive into the legacy of Oberheim instruments—from the SEM to the OB-series—and how they shaped music for artists like Prince, Stevie Wonder, Queen, and Daft Punk.

This is the inside story of how imperfection became perfection, and how one man’s vision changed music forever. Don’t miss this exclusive conversation with three icons of synthesis history."

Rob Papen WirePluck Introduction

video upload by Rob Papen

"New plugin synthesizer for PC and PC.
Please note that this product is part of the eXplorer-10 bundle!"

via Rob Papen

"WirePluck is a new synthesizer created in the tradition of the Rob Papen brand, which is known for thinking outside the box with innovative musical instruments. These are all possible now due to the amazing power of today's computers!

At the heart of WirePluck are the three layers made up from four selectable source synthesis types, which allow you to create new synthesizer pluck sounds! And nope... the focus is not in recreating real acoustic instruments, but creating new inspirational sounds!

The user interface has been laid out in the Main screen in a way that allows for fast editing using the most important parameters, selecting different ARP presets, and selecting the ‘Advance’ screen on which all available parameters can be tweaked.


The 1st source synthesis type for each layer is ‘Wire’, a newly developed sound source that sounds a bit like hitting a wire.

The 2nd source synthesis type available is ‘String’, which uses a custom Karplus physical modelling synthesis.

The 3rd source synthesis type is ‘FM’, which is a 3-Operator FM (phase modulation) synthesizer. A unique addition is that each Oscillator also has a Pitch Envelope Decay control, which is uncommon in classic FM synthesis, but great to add extra pluck to the sound.

The 4th source synthesis type is ‘Wave’, which is a 1 Oscillator subtractive synthesizer lineup featuring an array of various Filter types.

All of these different sources can be combined in the 3 layers of course and each layer has its output routing.

The included FX inside WirePluck are ‘Distortion’ with various types, ‘Modulation FX’ which are Chorus, Flanger and so on, a Stereo Delay, and our top-notch Reverb!

WirePluck also features a fully featured ARP, an extensive Chord Memory section, Modulation Matrix and of course our cool ‘Ribbon Controller’.

Last but not least, we have added a bank manager, including many great presets by Rob himself and other sound designers!"

Two pics of the inside below.

"Kurzweil K2000RS Rack Synthesizer w_sampling option (V3.87) – classic workstation module, Excellent condition. This unit has the latest firmware (v3.87) and is expanded with 32MB RAM for sampling at 48k. All MIDI, audio outputs, and floppy drive work perfectly. Note: The only issue is the internal FX engine is functioning with artifacts on the main outs only. (common in this run of Kurz units). This doesn’t affect the (8) direct outs and digital I/O, synthesis or sample-playback; Cosmetically, and internally, the rack unit is in fantastic shape. Comes with the original manual (which is considered the bible on how to design your own synth patches and beyond) and loads of floppy disks I've acquired along the way. The K2000RS is a legend – the piano presets are easily mistaken as the real thing considering the world of virtual pianos we have today. 16-part multitimbral, powerful V.A.S.T. synthesis."
