The Machinedrum sample pack is finally here! Seriously, I’ve put so much time and work into this pack, I really hope you like it! I’ve absolutely loved my time so far with this incredible device.
This is the BIGGEST sample pack yet from me - over 1200 samples, curated into one-shots (presented in 24-bit 48khz and 16-bit 48khz), then encoded into multiple sample chains (46 of them, presented in 24-bit 44.1khz, with .ot files so they’re instantly sliced and ready to go in the Octatrack) and thrown into an Ableton Live 11 Suite Drum Selector Rack for maximum carnage.
The first question was - how do I present all of the different machine types and sub-types? Well, here goes… Each machine type (GND, TRX, EFM, E12 and P-I) are individual folders, within which each machine sub-type (BD, SD, HH etc) has its own sub-folder, containing either 16, 32 or 64 one-shot samples. However, as each machine sub-type can be manipulated in so many ways (amplitude modulation/distortion/sample rate reduction/LFOs etc) it wasn’t possible to ensure that every sample in, say, a folder of ‘BDs’ is going to be useable as a bass drum. I think this keeps things interesting anyway, and it’s in keeping with the free-spirit of the Machinedrum.

As this was such a huge pack, something had to give - Bandcamp allows for a maximum of 300mb for these sample packs, and so I had to remove the shorter, Digitakt-specific sample chains that are present in my other packs. HOWEVER - if you would like to see them included, I am happy to oblige, however I would need to remove the 16-bit 48khz one-shots to free up the space, which may be inconvenient for some. It just depends on what people would prefer. I started adding the 16-bit 48khz one-shots alongside the 24-bit 48khz one-shots because I received a lot of questions from people who weren’t confident in converting the files themselves. Ideally I’d include everything all at once, but as I say, there are size limitations at Bandcamp HQ.
As I couldn’t have done this without the encouragement of the Elektronauts community, I want to provide a little bonus - at checkout, use the code ‘nauts20’ for 20% off this pack.
As there is so much more in this pack than my previous ones, it’s more likely there will be slight issues here and there - please don’t hesitate to reach out to me to let me know about any issues you find. I will fix them ASAP and will be happy to reward you for your efforts!
