808 Bass

A hard-hitting collection of 808 bass one shots and ready-to-play instruments for modern music production.

Unlike most 808 bass sample packs, each 808 has been designed with a long decay (looped and instantly playable). Each sound was created from the ground up (no sampling here!) using analogue and modular synths, a real TR-808 and more. We even recorded some of the sounds through real bass amps for a unique tone not found elsewhere. All sounds have been recorded through boutique outboard gear, both clean and via a dirty analogue tube saturation chain for serious grit!

Analog RYTM Drums

Capturing the unique sonic character of one of our favourite drum machines of all time – the Elektron Analog RYTM.

Our goal was the deliver the most versatile, well curated collection of drum hits ever recorded from this modern classic. The result – 1,500 beautifully designed, hard-hitting analogue drum samples.

Each sound has been carefully recorded using a unique, high-end signal chain to capture the depth and character of the original machine; all tastefully processed on a sound-by-sound basis using a boutique selection of analogue outboard gear.

Bass One shots

100 creative bass one shots for modern music production, all ready-to-play in your favorite sampler…

Expect to find gritty analogue synth bass, epic live hybrid brass sections, designed bass guitars, the deepest subs, cinematic bass stabs, and much more!

Acoustic Machine

The Linndrum that never existed…

Classic digital drum machines such as the Linn LM-1 or Oberheim DX are a staple in the history of electronic music. Our goal with Acoustic Machine was to capture the sonic vibe and essence of these classic machines, but with brand new sounds.

We set off by visiting one of the finest drum rooms in the world. Here we carefully recorded several unique acoustic drum kits, a plethora of Latin percussion instruments, blocks, bells, handclaps and more – all to analogue tape.

Next, we sourced a modified EMU SP-1200 sampler and passed all the drums through its gritty converters, recording eight SP-1200 pitch variations (truly dirty!), and 9 varying SP-1200 analogue filter levels per sound. The result – 2,500 brand new drums that deliver the vibe and feel of yesteryear!

Mini Pops 7 Drums

A rare vintage analogue drum machine from the 60’s, made famous by Jean-Michel Jarre’s ‘Oxygen’. We sourced a beautifully restored Mini Pops 7 and set out to capture this machine in true Wave Alchemy style; each sound with multiple round robins and 3 varying levels of unique analogue tube saturation. The true sound of a piece of history.
