SoundForce SAMPLES // 6x 808 drum sounds in a 4HP Eurorack module

DivKidVideo

"Here’s the Eurorack module SAMPLES from SoundForce which is a sample player with 6 voices. You have a simple trigger in and sound output for 6 one shot drum samples taken from a Roland TR-808 drum machine. Claves, Rimshot, Maracas, Handclap Cowbell and Closed Hi Hat sounds allow you to flesh out your modular drum simple with additional 808 drum sounds that also take well to further processing and mangling as we’ll explore in this video. Bit crushing, AM, filtering and modulated FX chains help bring the sounds to life as well as audio triggering for creating “drum drones”. Skip around with the timing index below and check out the other linked demos too.

*** PLEASE NOTE - the audio samples are baked-in and cannot be changed

50 Dollar Vintage Drum Machine - Zoom Micro Rhythm Trak MRT-3 - is it worth it?

Expanding Sound

"I see these Zoom MRT-3 Drum machines going for 50 bucks up to about 100 or so. I got my hands on one, I wanted to see if the samples are any good. My thought process for every electronic instrument is simple, I'll enjoy it if it sounds good, and it's fun to use. Sometimes a synth or drum machine will sound great but is such a pain to be creative with that I just get annoyed and want to use something else. This little zoom unit sounds decent for the money and was very easy to program. Mine was picked up second hand, so I had no manual, but it didn't stop me from being able to make patterns 5 minutes after turning it on. If you're looking for a cheap drum machine, this isn't a bad choice at all."

More cowbell ambient

With actual cow bells. Apparently we have a cow label. It's been a while and only two previous posts, but there you have it. This appears to be the first post with actual, real life, cows.

"In which I use the Rossum Panharmonium on a recording of cows in the Black Forest to re-synthesize an ambient track on the eurorack modular synthesizer. Some birds also play into the gentle rhythm/harmony that ensues."

I had to attenuate the voltage coming from the Keystep going to the VCS3 so that it can kind of track well tempered."
