I got another treat for you!
Almost exactly 12 months ago, an app developer reached out to me.
With a very special assignment: to to set up a set of drum patches. To be used in a new drum machine app on the r36s game console!
You can use it like a "console drum kit", sort of: triggering the drums live with the control pads, or do a bit of sequencing.
I did not provide just 1 kit, but a set of drum sample banks. While using the console you are able to switch between the banks and each is dedicated to a specific style. Like Acid, Techno, Doomcore, Speedcore.
Of course all sounds are 100% generated by me.
And, to have hardcore-based drum machine on a console is, by all that i know, a first.
Looking forward to see producers live jamming on this console during their sets.
And there is more! As it's made for producers, it occurred to me that they would still need additional musicians on gear on stage if they want to do a performance... because "drums only" is not enough.
So I added genre-specific sounds to each genre-based sample bank.
Like acid basslines or doomcore synths.
So, in theory you would able to produce or live jam an entire track with each sample set! Would be a bit minimal... but still.
So... the drum machine app was released earlier this year.
But what about people who do not own r36s game console?
There are attempts to port it to other consoles... but what about non-console people?
So I decided to make the drum patches freely available.
And here they are.
Feel free to download them and use them in your tracks. (with the exception of the bonus tracks)
Samples+drums for the following styles are included:
1. Hardcore
2. Techno
3. Gabber
4. Acid
5. Doomcore
6. Speedcore
7. Slowcore
9. Industrial Madness
9. Drum Jam
The developer also asked me to include continuous loops of some of my own tracks that were used in the menu of the app.
I included them as a bonus.
About me:
I just add this to make clear it's a credible release and not some - weird stuff (well, it is weird stuff too, but you know what i mean).
I'm a techno and hardcore producer, dj, and author for several decades, i played at tresor and other places, my projects have been featured in mags like the wire uk, pitchfork, groove magazine, and bla bla... blub blub.
now have fun with the samples!
