The Division Department 01/IV Drum Machine Sample Pack by LØSTLVLS

Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s time for another of my little sample packs, this time for The Division Department 01​/​IV Drum Machine.

Released in 2019 without much hype, the 01/IV (pronounced zero-one-four) by The Division Department is a unique and flexible four voice drum synthesiser. From deep kicks, snappy snares, crisp hats and classic cowbells, to all manner of zaps, clicks, bloops and cracks, the 01/IV is capable of a wide variety of sounds, with each of the four voices being the same - you can set up four kicks if you wanted, or a kick/snare/hat combo with a bass tone, it’s up to you.

This pack features 96 samples - 16 kicks, 16 hi-hats, 16 snares, 16 claps and 32 unclassifiably weird sounds! All individual samples are encoded in 24-bit and 48khz sample rate.

There are also five sample chains provided with the download, including .ot files designed for use with the Elektron Octatrack (pre-sliced sample chains),. These sample chains are presented in 24-bit and 44.1khz sample rate so they work better with the Octatrack, though the samples will work nicely in any sampler.

Finally, there is an Ableton Live Drum Selector rack (will work in Live Suite only) which allows you to program a pattern and change the sample with the turn of an encoder, as well as alter decay, pitch, distortion, compression and more with ease.

The pack is priced at £2.99, which I feel is fair for the amount of work that went into it - each individual sound has been uniquely tweaked with dynamic EQ, saturation, compression and careful limiting they sound really full and alive right out of the box, but allowing enough headroom for further processing down the line.

Enjoy!

i can’t seem to find a link to either a download page/store
would probably be of some help for those wanting to get the pack, to know where to get it from :smiley:

Booo

Oh good! Thank you.

Wait hang on, maybe they’ll go better in my TR8-S? (Will have to check sample rate)

Awesome stuff, thanks! Always kinda wanted a 01/IV but I dunno, passed me by.

@Microtribe you make a really good point about sample rate. Someone a little while ago asked me specifically to up the bit rate of the one-shots so I did… But that means the one shots aren’t compatible with the OT, only the sample chains. However it also means the one shots aren’t compatible with your TR-8S, as well as many other samplers that don’t convert the bit rate. I may have to provide 44.1Hz versions of the one shots as well. Watch this space.

Sorry about that, click the title of the preview to be taken to the BandCamp link! Is a bit confusing. I forgot that Elektronauts automatically turns those links into full-blown previews with a player.

Thanks everyone!

I checked the TR 8S specs, that thing will take any sample (any bit depth, any rate) up to 96k :fist:

One shots are going in there then.

Ah legend, thanks for letting me know! I believe the DT and a few others are ok with different rates or just convert them going in but I remember the OT and Pioneer Toraiz SP-16 not being too happy about it. May need to add 44.1kHz versions of the one shots to the packs so all the samplers are happy.

I’ve been waiting on this one! Will pick up soon!
Also, without wanting to derail this thread, would be interested to get a dedicated @Claid wrap-up thread of the sorta ‘tour’ of all the most interesting drum machines you’ve been on! Like thoughts and feelings on each. No pressure of course, just seems you might have gathered experiences of a range of devices that aren’t all that easily attained, never mind compared.

Also, are the AVP drum synths on your radar or am I gonna have to stop using your sample packs to sate that particular drum machine gas? Quite fancy a Ritmobox. Derail over soz, buy the pack y’all.

i couldn’t see the player at all in the browser, most probably because of outdated version. all good :smiley:

@yokermoon thanks so much for your kind words! I’d be interested in writing a wrap-up of the machines I’ve used. Will start putting something together now. :smiley: And yes, I am very interested in the AVP Ritmobox and ADS-7. Elevator Sound near me has them in stock but they won’t loan me them or allow me to sample them in the store… Boo!

@guga glad you’re sorted mate. I can’t figure out how to get a link to display without embedding the full player, maybe it’s an HTML thing. Will figure it out eventually!

eventually followed up and bought this (and the LXR-02 pack) - stellar work showcasing these quirky monsters! the multitude of formats is fantastic, got my OT loaded up and everything is sounding oh so good - all bristling!

tiny administrative tyre-kicker feedback if you ever end up updating these but I ended up renaming the headers on most of the nested racks (and then the Sampler/Simpler device within) - e.g. a lot were BD Selector and then BD Sample, where they were actually HH Selector and HH Sample etc. This goes for the other packs too but honestly doesn’t matter or take anything away - just rattled through and renamed while I was auditioning!

Thank you so much, and well spotted! I thought I’d noticed and amended those, gonna get them all updated now. :smiley:

I have an Electribe ER-1 MK2 pack coming out any day now. :smiley:

And after that…? :innocent:

I’ve had some other projects taking my time lately but I’m really looking forward to loading your soundpacks into my OT and just go to town on those.

QA and proofreading is my crappy day-job and can’t deactivate lol.
Didn’t take long at all so hopefully not too much of a pain if you end up updating.

And nice! You’ve step-by-step covering any drum machine I’m halfway interested in - some service you’re providing!

Agreed. And for £2.99 - that is insane pricing! Cheaper than an (ICED) coffee!

After that, Volca Drum. :slight_smile: Makes me happy to think of people loading these up into their Elektrons!

A lot of what I do is QA too but it doesn’t apply to my own work haha. If you’ve already fixed them all, fancy sending the .als files my way? ;D

I could try sending you the .adg files, would that should work…?
Probably no surprise as seems to be a convergence of tastes here but I love the Volca Drum. Love it.

Really nice, yet another drum machine I’ve been curious about. (I confess I am Tempted by something else as well…)
