We Love 808
Loopbased has announced the release of We Love 808, a drum sample pack from Simplosive.
“We Love 808″ is Simplosive’s newest addition in their drum sounds series. It is not just another collection of sampled sounds from the classic drum machine. We only recorded variations of the kicks, hats, claps, snares and toms and treated them all with top-notch effects to add more punch and presence.
This pack includes 220 amazingly fresh-sounding 808 sounds with even more attitude and wow-factor than the original. These sounds are perfect for any genres ranging from Dirty South, Crunk, Chicago Juke, Footwork to House and Techno and even Ambient and Chill-Out.
We Love 808 features
- 100 kicks, 20 wide kicks, 30 hard kicks, 25 claps, 25 snares, 10 toms, 19 hihats.
- Total of 220 files, 24-bit WAV (217 MB).

Turn your ordinary mobile phone into a LoFi loop sequencer
This is a demonstration of the GetLoFi MIDI Loop sequencer on a Nokia cell phone. The program is a Java application that theoretically should work on a wide range of older cell phones including a Blackberry device. Anything that supports J2ME.
More information soon at www.getlofi.com
The App can be downloaded from http://www.getlofi.com/getlofi.jar
The Controls are pretty simple.
Number keys 1-8 randomly choose a pattern from 99 preset MIDI phrases for that spot on the sequence. 9 Key randomly selects phrases for all spots.
0 Key clears all patterns out and sents the Self Play Mode, and ( *, # ) adjust the length of the pattern sequence.
There is no tempo control, except for what is in the MIDI phrase files themselves.
Here´s what you need:
The ingredients:
- Software running on the Java virtual machine (good, old-fashioned J2ME)
- A hack for proper input and output (from the various headset connectors)
- Sequenced MIDI files
The result: otherwise silent, ordinary cellphones become living musical creatures. Install files, plus information on how to make the circuit for I/O, went up on GetLoFi early in October, but thanks to Michael Una for pointing this my way over dinner recently.
Everything you need:
MIDI Loop Sequencer aka Cell Phone Noisemaker
