Further down the thick line of my experiments in pushing FabFilter One to extreme limits, here is a new set based on this wonderful little synth. A huge pack of 55 samples, born in two sessions, full of grit, dirt, punch, subdued menace and curious spectral properties.
Could do well in a serving of some hard electro or evil dub, perhaps in some obscure glitch affair, or in a folk tune about a heartbroken robot.
The root for this sample set is my latest VST purchase - FabFilter One. Simple as it is, I just can't recommend this little synth enough. It seems to be able to go places no other one oscillator synth can.
And the sample pack itself turned to be a somewhat rude and distorted take on the classic Kraftwerk sound. Vile electro, indeed.
These samples are product of my recent experiments using Renoise not as a sequencer, but rather as a sound design tool for granular synthesis. Working at tempos in the vicinity of 10000 BPM makes sequencing become micro-editing, automation becomes modulation, entire arrangements reduce to textures... There's a whole new world to explore. Hope you enjoy this small bunch of my findings.
Behold the largest sample pack ever presented here to date - a set of no less than 48 drum samples, heavily inspired by the Elektron Machinedrum. I don't know if they actually sound like a Machinedrum at all (never had one) but they can be gentle, they can hit hard, they can cut through a mix, and they can spread like butter. The demo loop is just the tip of the iceberg. Dive in and explore on your own.
If I was music I would sound like this
