Vintage Synth Bass – new collection of bass sounds records from synthesizers like the Arp 2600, Juno 60, and Korg MS20
Industrial Strength Samples has released Vintage Synth Bass, a collection of bass sounds records from synthesizers like the Arp 2600, Juno 60, and Korg MS20.
Industrial Strength Samples is back with another dynamite production pack. We went in the studio and sampled some of our favorite Bass sounds from our vast synth collection. So get ready,
Our design team went on a mission to create a serious collection of classic bass sounds used in electronic music over the last few decades. Knowing that these rare synths are out of reach to many people due to cost and availability, this pack can be an essential tool for anyone looking to capture the real vintage analog bass sounds used in classic traxx.
This serious studio weapon delivers 20 bass instruments meticulously recorded in 24 bit Wav audio, each sound has been tweaked and key grouped for ease of use while using our bass sounds. We also tossed in the Midi files from the demo so you can easily use the baselines in the demo with no fuss.
The sample pack is available from Loopmasters for £12.95 GBP.

About the Yamaha model:
The DX7, a classic FM synth, gets a make-over with three significant updates. The updated models feature a more sturdy chassis with actual push-buttons replacing the cheaper and less reliable membrane buttons of the original DX7. The two real time sliders (that allow for control of user-programmable parameters in real time) are larger than before. Internally, the biggest improvement is the updated 16-bit digital circuitry for cleaner and much less noisy sound quality. Patch memory has also been doubled from 32 to 64 voices. Additional general improvements include enhanced MIDI support, micro-tuning capabilities, aftertouch controlled pitch bending, and multiple LFOs.
BOSS DR-220E Vintage Drum Machine 1986
The BOSS DR-220E is a little programmable digital rhythm machine. This is the “E” version – it means E-DRUM sounds (very Simmons-like). The DR-220 has a twin brother with acoustic drums sounds – the DR-220A.
Although the DR-220 is from 1986, it lacks MIDI – but it has SYNC IN and OUT. It has nice Simmons-like eighties drums! It is similar to the Korg DDM-110/DDM-220, but it has better sounds in my opinion.

Thank you to the 44 wonderful people who have donated so far! After this you all responded positively to help me to raise over £500 (against a target of £1000) for Cancer Research UK, a deserving charity that funds scientists, doctors and nurses to help beat cancer sooner.
As we made it to the half way mark, I am releasing 2 of the 4 plugins for free, for everyone.
The plug-ins are available to download for Windows (VST).
