Beat Box Anthology
Classic drum machine sounds and loops from the 70s, 80s and early 90s
Beat Box Anthology is the one-stop shopping collection for drum machine sounds
and loops, covering almost every generation of these instruments. Even if these cult
machines were a milestone in the 70s, 80s and 90s music production, their sounds
are still used today in a lot of Urban, Hip Hop, Electro House and even Electro Pop
productions.
The first "affordable" drum machines were manufactured in the 60s, and were
designed to imitate the sounds of drums and percussions. Analog synthesis was the
the first technology used to generate the drum sounds and most models left no
opportunity to the user to alter or modify the pre-programmed rhythms. Then in the
80s the first models using low resolution digital samples were launched, and were
quickly used in the most successful tunes in the music industry. In the 90s the sound
quality turned better, but loosing in the meantime the character that had made older
models so remarkable. That's where and why our investigation stopped.
Beat Box Anthology is divided in three sections: Classics, Analog & Digital. In the
Classics category you will find the cult machines that are still used a lot today, like the
808 or the 909. Sampling and recording was particularly complete, covering every
parameter and setting you can find on these machines. To capture the essence of
these pieces of history, we did record everything in 24bit 96kHz, using the best DI
Box and analog to digital converters.
Another unique approach to this kind of collection, is the mastering step that once
more makes it unique. Sounds were mastered at Sterling Sound with Chris
Gerhinger, for this punchy sound you won't find anywhere else.
With a total of around 10 000 samples and loops, Beat Box Anthology also contains
hundreds of native kits and patterns for the new MOTU BPM, then being its best
companion. Whatever the kind of music you're making, you will certainly find room for
these incredible sounding machines.
