Transistor Revolution - 808 & 909 for Kontakt Player

via Wave Alchemy

"Introducing Transistor Revolution for Kontakt Player!

Is it possible to accurately recreate the sound of a vintage analogue drum machine in a software plugin? nearly 2 years ago we started out on a journey to find out...

After gravitating towards the most influential drum machines ever created (namely the TR-808 and TR-909) we soon discovered the extreme depth of focus needed to faithfully capture the tone, immediacy and groove of the original instruments.

2 years on, after a lot of research and development (and 22,000 samples later) we arrived at what we believe to be the most accurate emulation of these classic drum machines ever created... Transistor Revolution, our virtual analogue drum machine inspired by the classic TR-808 and TR-909 electronic drum machines of the 1980’s.

Why 22,000 samples you might ask? To give an example of the detail involved in the sampling of each instrument, the Revolution 909 Bass Drum alone uses 9318 unique sounds to faithfully recreate the 909 Bass Drum sound. Each of the 4 knobs on the Revolution 909 Bass Drum control panel scans smoothly through each and every sample in real-time... Additionally to emulate the subtle differences in sound inherent of analogue equipment we recorded 7 variations of each drum sound which cycle randomly each time a key on the keyboard is played.

Each drum sound in Transistor Revolution has been carefully recorded using a pristine 3 inch solid core cable connected to a transformer balanced Radial JDI and brought to line level with an AMS/NEVE 1073 preamp. To retain the full frequency response and dynamics of this instrument we carefully matched the peak level of each drum and recorded the samples at 24-bit 96KHz using mastering grade NEVE designed conversion.

Feature List

Available in Standalone, VST, AU and RTAS instrument formats for Windows and Mac OS X via the free Kontakt Player from Native Instruments. Full version of Kontakt is NOT required.
Intuitive GUI design faithful to the original TR-808 and TR-909 front panel layouts.
Recreate every nuance of the original analog drum machines or define your own unique sound using the worlds most advanced sampling engine, Kontakt 5.
Contains over 22,000 unique samples which have been carefully edited and calibrated for tight synchronisation and playback.

Smoothly scan through thousands of multilayered samples with the turn of a single knob and play sounds which were once only tied to analog knobs and circuits live in realtime using velocity and controller data.
All sounds have been meticulously recorded at 24-bit 96 kHz through mastering grade AD converters.
High quality effects including; EQ, Compression, Tape Saturation, Transient Shaping, Filters and Bit Crushing allow for premium sound shaping of the pure analogue samples with a re-routable signal chain.
Designed for both production and live performance. Live drummers looking to integrate 808 and 909 drums into their performances can do so effortlessly with MIDI learn and full velocity/ MIDI CC control.
Adjustable output noise amount/level control for each drum sound, multi-sampled from each individual output of the original instrument/s.
Calibrate the peak output level of Transistor Revolution per drum module for easy integration with analog mixing consoles and outboard gear.
Mix and match sound sources between both Revolution-808 and Revolution-909 to create your dream analog drum machine or use an unlimited amount of modules in a single instrument.

Published on Dec 26, 2012 by MoogMusicInc

"The Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart, who visited the Moog Factory on April 19, 2012 to test the development of the Grateful Dead Expansion Pack exclaimed, "Holy transmogrifica-tion, Batman... Amazing!" after hearing the Grateful Dead's 44-year-old recordings trans-formed into sound design tools for artists.

The Grateful Dead Expansion Pack comes on the heels of Moog's release of Animoog V2 on December 21, 2012. Animoog V2 is free for existing Animoog users. It includes many user requested features and product enhancements, such as: accelerometer integration which gives Animoog owners the ability to tilt their iPad in any direction as an interactive 3D modulation source; note hold and scale lock, and tools for advanced users like, Load/Save MIDI CC maps, Audiocopy/Audiopaste integration and support for the new Audiobus platform. Also, as a holiday gift, Animoog V2 features a powerful 4 Track Recorder, which gives Animoog users the ability to record audio from within Animoog or import audio tracks directly from their iTunes library. Users can then split, loop, copy, paste, and share individual clips, or mix down entire songs and upload them directly to SoundCloud, all from within the Animoog's universe. This 4 Track Re-corder will be free to existing users until Dec. 31, 2012 at which time it will revert to it's regular price of $4.99 in the Animoog Store."
