Hello again everyone! After the overwhelmingly positive feedback received from my Pulsar-23 sample pack and the excellent suggestions for improvement, I decided to put my mind to a new pack. I am happy to welcome you to my latest project, a collection of sounds from the excellent Microtonic software drum machine by Sonic Charge.
The Microtonic is an eight channel drum synthesiser. Unique and flexible, it is capable of creating any sound you can imagine within a deceptively simple interface. Each of the eight channels contains the same synthesis engine - EQ, oscillator and noise are combined and mixed in a unique and satisfying way.
This pack is twice the size of the previous one - 256 samples, comprised of 64 kicks, 64 hi-hats, 64 snares/claps and 64 tones. All are recorded dry straight from the software as 16-bit, 44.1khz files. There are also four sample chains for Octatrack users that work great in Ableton Live as well - stick it in a Simpler, set it to Poly, put it in Slice mode and set the Sensitivity just right and you can make some really amazing patterns with just the one file.
The pack is priced at £2.99 which I believe is fair for the amount of work that went into this. I sincerely hope you enjoy using these sounds as much as I do. I would also like to say that if you like these sounds, you really ought to consider purchasing Microtonic from Sonic Charge. Samples are amazing but there’s nothing quite like having the real thing - there’s also a three-week trial which is tremendous to get started.
