Goldbaby has announced the release of a new sample pack featuring the sounds of the 8Raw8, an analog drum expander handmade in France that recreates the iconic analog drum voices of the legendary TR-808.
The 8R8 pack contains 1,241 one shot samples, and sampler patches for Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Maschine, Battery, Kontakt, TAL-Sampler and TAL-Drum.
Why make another 808 pack? I have had three vintage TR-808s in my studio, along with a few analog and digital clones. I can honestly say that the 8Raw8 is the nicest-sounding of all of them, including the OG vintage ones.
Another reason I created this pack was to utilise the 8Raw8 kick drum tune modification. This pack has a massive selection of multi-sampled chromatic kicks you play across the keyboard. Congas and toms also get the chromatic treatment!
I didn’t stop there. Not only did I capture the 8Raw8’s unprocessed sound, but I also recorded it through tasty hardware. I used the MPC60, Fat Bustard II valve mixer, Silver Bullet Mk2, SPL Transient Designer, EL Fatso, EZ1073 EQ and Pre (Neve), AnalogHeat+FX, various guitar pedals (Plasma, Chroma, FatRat, Prunes & Custard), Cassette Tape Echo, and more.
8R8 is available to purchase for $29 USD.
