Samples From Mars released this week Linn60 From Mars, a new limited run sample pack that includes transformed LinnDrum samples. Unlike traditional sample libraries based on the famous LinnDrum drum machine, the developers recorded here this instrument inside the 12 Bit MPC-60 sampler to give these sounds a new vintage character. Interesting workflow to give such drum sounds an even more 80s oriented flair.

For this release, we’ve taken one of our favorite drum machines of all time (in fact, it’s the drum machine that started it all for Samples From Mars) and recorded it into one of our favorite samplers, the MPC60.

The original drum machine is composed of classic, 80s 8 bit percussion and sounds incredible. It’s such a big sound often it needs to be EQd to fit in a mix. Think: Human League, Prince, 80s Boogie, early hip hop, disco and more.

By sampling the machine through the MPC, we crunched the sound up even further through the 60’s 12bit converters, recording at different levels (some clipped, some not clipped). We also re-pitched every drum voice in the MPC, which lends its unique tuning / aliasing to the original drum machine sounds, giving them a completely new characteristic: gritty, punchy, and grainy.
