The Little BOOM That Could – MFB-522 Sample Set

by rhythminmind on Jul.02, 2009, under MFB, RAW, Samples

Overview

The Drumcomputer MFB-522 is an all analog boutique Drum Synth. It’s deceivingly small size produces HUGE sound. A call back to the TR-808. If you want the 808 vibe but are sick of the overused 808 samples available, this is for you.

9 analog instruments captured @ 24bit/96k & RNLA compression for a little added edge.

Five/Six individual velocity samples per instrument.

Format = Stereo 24/96 .wav

PCM 70 Ver 2 & Ver 3 SysEx Preset Registers.

by rhythminmind on Jun.23, 2009, under Lexicon

The PCM 70 Ver 2 & Ver 3 have completely different Preset Registers. Many upgraded to Ver 3 to gain the Inverse Room algorithm but lost the coveted Ver 2 Preset Registers in the process.

These are the SysEx register dumps from both Ver 2 & 3 for all to enjoy.

Lexicon-PCM-70-Ver-2.syx (Thank you Karl Lund)

Lexicon-PCM-70-Ver-3-without-row-6-for-ver-2-Reg.syx

Use a SysEx utilty to send them to the PCM 70 Registers.

True M7 – Impulse Pack

by rhythminmind on Jun.18, 2009, under Impulse Sets

Help support this site’s bandwidth fund & efforts..

——————————————————————————————-

Like true stereo hardware, true stereo IRs process both the Left & Right channels independently for a more accurate & detailed emulation.

Goal = Capture True Stereo IR programs from the “legend in its own time” Bricasti Design M7 Stereo Reverb Processor.

228 impulse files capturing the Ambience, Chamber, Hall, Plate, Room, & Space Registers.

Independent IR’s from both the Left & Right inputs. No post processing pseudo stereo expansion, phase shifting, or unrap has been used to give the illusion of a stereo image.

I/O = AES Digital @ 24bit 96k
IR Resolution = 24bit 96k

True Stereo compatible convolution reverb recommended. (Check end of post for a manual routing alternative.) Recommended plug-ins : liquidsonics Reverberate, SIR2, Pristine Space

Moog Drum Two – For Live 8 Drum Rack

by rhythminmind on Jun.10, 2009, under Drum, Moog, Samples

Overview

This is the 2nd Moog Drum Rack Sample Set for Ableton Live 8 “Moog Drum Two”. (The 1st can be downloaded HERE.) You will find some nice deep tones in this set. Think 808 if it had a Minimoog filter. I’ve created pitch macros for each sample. Being that it is sampled @ 96k you have plenty of room to re-pitch those samples without quality loss for music production.

Captured @ 24bit/96k with Lynx converters & DBX 903 compression.

Analog Signal path = Moog Voyager-DBX 903’s-Console EQ-Dominator II- Lynx.

Six velocity samples per pad.

Moog Drum One – For Live 8 Drum Rack

by rhythminmind on Jun.06, 2009, under Ableton Live, Drum, Moog, Samples

Overview

The Minimoog Voyager RME is an analog waveform sculpting masterpiece, especially with the add-on CV breakouts. Unlike many classic analog drum machines, the Voyager with its dual filters can create wonderful stereo imagery. I’ve taken the time to program detailed percussive patches & from these i’m creating sample sets. This is the 1st “Moog Drum One” Drum Rack for Ableton Live 8. (The 2nd can be downloaded HERE.)

Update: I’ve created pitch macros for each sample. Being that it is sampled @ 96k you have plenty of room to re-pitch those samples without quality loss for music production.

Captured @ 24bit/96k with Lynx converters & DBX 903 compression.

Analog Signal path = Moog Voyager-DBX 903’s-Console EQ-Dominator II- Lynx.

Moog Voyager / Minimonsta comparison

by rhythminmind on May.24, 2009, under Analysis, Moog, Synth Waveform

Out of nothing more then curiosity I wanted to know the fundamental differences between the Moog Voyager & Minimonsta. The filter is obvious so I didn’t even want to have that in the equation. I wanted to look at the raw building blocks, the oscillator waveforms. These are my results.

_______________________________________________________________________________

The original test has the filters set to wide open on both synths. I don’t think the original ever fully takes the filter out of the picture. So with some further knob twiddling I have found if you add a little resonance on the voyager the wave shapes get pretty damn close. I’m thinking the voyager just has a wider filter range.

Compressor Examples, Tests, & Comparisons.

by rhythminmind on Mar.24, 2009, under Analysis, Compressor

I often find myself comparing/testing my arsenal of compressors of both hardware & plugins to find just the right tool for the sound. I have decided to organize an ever-growing collective pool of these examples as i create them. The intention is to have a audible reference of the different compressor characteristics.

For those that want to contribute, the more the better. Upload a before & after examples of the compressor being used. Or download my raw wav files & contribute to the list. Feel free to upload the examples into my drop box & I’ll post the results.
