Little Raincoat - Synthetic Analog Percussion Samples

I’m happy to present a set of 120 analog percussion samples made with the Macbeth Micromac synthesizer, and a bit of analog outboard as well. The samples make great food for your Machinedrum, Octatrack or other hardware or software sampler, for a mere US$7.

Audio demos produced with the Octatrack:

Thanks for your time, and fire away if you have any questions.

I should mention the set is comprised of:

67 Kicks
16 Snares
13 Hats
5 Percs
19 Kicks with external fx

The Micromac is an LPF-only synth, so some of the non-kick sounds have bottom end that you can use to re-purpose sounds depending on how you eq/filter. In other words, some snares, say, have enough bottom that you could either roll off the bottom and keep it as a snare or roll off some top and use it as a kick. There are kick sounds in here with enough decay to be used for bass as well.

I’m using the set quite a bit so I expect to get some more demos done over the next little while.

Listening to the demo right now. Sounds great to me! Really great! It must have been a lot of work, to decide on the different samples. Once I tried to make my own analog percussion sounds with my minibrute. But I got so many sounds out of it, that I was not able to make a good selection. Just to much sounds, I none was as good sounding as yours :wink:

Cheers for that!

Yeah, you just have to stop at some point… It’s a lot of fun too though… reminds me when I made drum kit samples with my acoustic guitar a couple of years ago, I was well over 600 samples and finally had to stop myself!

Another downtempo atmospheric groove produced on the Octatrack with the Little Raincoat samples:

Very nice sounds. I also like the arrangements, especially the last of the demos… deep and rich.

I’m Listening through some tiny speakers but some of these sounds are quite cool. Would be nice to add some crazy reverbs and delay.

Thanks Guys!

This project has been a lot of fun… and really focused my attention on the Micromac for a while, helping me to learn a lot more about sound designing on it… now it’s got me messing with the Octatrack again… I hadn’t touched it in a while, now I’ve fallen in love again with its insane versatility.

@Paper sheet… most definitely, I’ve been jamming with lots of reverbs and delays… last night’s demo has some Space on it but I’ll be doing more.

I should note the Octatrack is as much a part of some of these demos as the sounds used.
