Samples From Mars 808 Loops From MarsUnbeatable Grooves From the Iconic Drum Machine 808 Loops From Mars is an extensive collection of multi-tracked beats from the classic drum machine that has continued to shape electronic music over the past 40+ years. These loops will give you a more authentic representation of the raw, hypnotic energy of this timeless machine than any one-hit sample pack can. From clean and polite to saturated, distorted and harmonized beyond recognition, 808 Loops From Mars is the perfect way to inject the undeniable groove and analog power of this legendary machine into your next creation. https://soundcloud.com/samplesfrommars/808-loops-from-mars-funky-demo Overview With 725 loops ranging from full beats to tops and individual loops from every drum voice, this pack is ideal for creating 808 tracks from scratch or bringing raw grooves into your existing projects. Ranging from 120 - 128 bpm, the grooves are focused around dance music - namely house, techno and electro. From thunderous kicks to overdriven toms and clipped snares, to sizzling hi-hats and blown-out percussion, this pack is designed to fuel peak-time club moments and warehouse sets. Many of the loops are wild and unpredictable - pushed to the edge of coherence - while others stay stripped, minimal, and funky, ready to lock in a hypnotic groove. Because you get access to so many individual drum loops, it's important to note just how easy it is to bend the genre and beat to your liking. You can, for instance, take a top and add a completely different bass drum loop underneath it. The Best Way to Sound Like You Own an 808 While one-hit packs like the 808 From Mars will give you more compositional flexibility, this loop pack will provide a much more realistic sound. Because the 808 is analog, every consecutive drum hit sounds slightly differently than the previous - making the beats sound much more "alive" than repeating the same one-shot. Even the accent levels and drum volumes on the 808 affect each sound, and any analog processing that is applied to these sounds are also greatly affected by these slight tonal shifts. Because we've captured loops up to 16 bars in length, you can really hear all of this. Even though we own an 808, it's been super fun and inspiring to open up an Ableton session with so many individual loops, different grooves and processing that has been created over the course of months. It's really quick, easy and fun to get new tracks going without having to program one-hits from scratch. Uniquely Processed While there are certainly a handful of super clean loops, it's the processing that really makes this pack shine. Since the 808 is so recognizable, we saw it as a unique challenge to bring something new to the table here. How could we obscure this classic machine into something more refreshing and modern? First, we used two great (and very different sounding) consoles - the Zahl AM1 and our trusty API 1608. Here, we tweaked input gain for some tasty analog console saturation, and then patched up Distressors, DBX 165, ADR Compex, Eventide H3000, Space, and Orville, Overstayer NT-02A Saturator and Modular Channel, Space Echo, Moogerfoogers, tube preamps and more! This gave us a huge variety of processing styles that helped the 808 really stand out in a crowd. Check out this loop where we used the Moog Freq Box to create this almost impossible loop from an 808: https://soundcloud.com/samplesfrommars/808-loops-from-mars-shifty The Takeaway This is the 808 unleashed and ready to throw down. Whether you find yourself reaching for the cleaner, funkier grooves, or the heavily processed bangers, these 808s will give your music weight, grit, and analog attitude for days. And because they are multi-tracked, there is a lot of flexibility to tweak, edit and groove to your heart's desire. What You Get: (725) Total 808 loops at 24-bit 44.1k kHz. Clean and processed loops ranging from 120 to 128 bpm. Short and long-form (up to 16 bars) capture the feel of the 808. (100) Full Beats ranging from clean and classic to futuristic and mangled. Tops and individual loops from every drum voice allow for easy beat creation / manipulation. Sounds range from: smooth and smashed bass drum loops, crispy hi hat cymbal and maraca loops, various snare and clap tops, tom combos, cowbells, claves and more. In the style of techno and house but ready for genre manipulation. Recorded though Radial J-DIs, API 1608 & Zahl AM1 consoles, Apogee Symphony MKII, and processed with an Overstayer NT-02A, Summit TPA 200B, Empirical Labs Distressor, Eventide H3000, Eventide Orville, Eventide Space, ADR Compex, Space Echo and a variety of effects pedals. 100% Hardware processing. 1.69 GB Unzipped. About Formatting: Ableton includes (725) original loops as audio clips. Read More

Kemper Profiler MK 2 Head The Kemper Profiler enables a user to capture the soul of any amp inside a lunchbox-sized amplifier. Kemper uses cutting edge technology to capture the sonic DNA of virtually any guitar amp. The resulting profiles are as living, vivid and dynamic as the original amps. Imagine you've used some sweet-sounding, well-maintained vintage tube amps in your last studio session: With the Kemper Profiler, there's no need to leave those sounds behind anymore. Simply create your own profiles from these amps and take them with you to use anywhere you like. Variations with alternative amp settings can be created and even the cabinet of a profiled combo amp can be exchanged at any time. Dozens of pro-grade onboard effects and stomp boxes can be used to spice up the profiles. Included are profiles of many exceptional signature amps. They were created by professional guitarists, engineers and producers in studios all over the world. Right out of the box, you will find classic tones of studio standards as well as profiles of highly sought-after amplifiers, some costing many times the price of the Kemper Profiler. Create your own profiles from your own amps: If you happen to have access to tube amps, feel free to make your own profiles. You will probably feel more familiar with profiles of your own gear, than with those other people have made. It might be also a nice idea to hire a professional studio for a day or two, where you can create your signature profiles with the help of an experienced sound engineer. You then have the luxury of being able to use these profiles wherever you like, and with no time constraints. If you are tracking in a studio, you should profile the guitar amps that you record with. Later, you simply take these profiles with you and know that you can recreate the exact sound of the recording, both in the rehearsal studio and live on stage. Share your own creations If you are looking for a particular sound, search the Rig Exchange database on the Kemper website, and download profiles and rigs from fellow users. So much more than just flicking channels. Play completely different amp models rather than just switching amp channels on stage! Imagine playing the verse with a sparkling profile of a 1965 black-faced 2x12" combo, done in a premiere studio in Nashville, while burning through the solo with a hot-rodded, British 100Watts monster, driving a 4x12" cab you just profiled last week in your buddy's rehearsal space. Features: The Amplifier Section. The Amplifier section is the heart of the Kemper Profiler. The sound of the amplifier is based on the profile loaded into the rig. A great selection of intuitive and powerful macro parameters empowers you to perform modifications which are impossible with an traditional hardware amplifier. Many things become possible from changing the age of the virtual hardware to the response to your play. You gain direct access to tube settings, such as the tube symmetry. : The Equalizer Section. The Kemper Profiler is equipped with a traditional bass / mid / treble / presence equalizer similar to what you already know and love from many amp heads. Kemper found that many equalizers used in the tone stack section of more or less famous amplifiers lack of grip and blur your sound in an unnecessary fashion. That's why they decided to go with their own, original design which is based on a traditional tone stack but is designed to deliver what you expect from a modern pro-grade equalizer: The Cabinet Section. The Kemper Profiler captures the cabinet as a part of a profile. Thanks to digital alchemy we can distinguish in between the cabinet and the amp head within a profile and therefore enable you to mix and match both in which ever way you like. Imagine you can exchange cabinets freely in between amps, even though those amps were combo amps before. You can even warp cabinets from "tiny as a cigarette box" to "larger than life" with one parameter: The Stomp Boxes. The Kemper Profiler offers 4 independent stomp effects slots which can host a full arsenal of stomp box effects including painstakingly modeled famous overdrive and distortion stomp boxes, compressor, reverb, several delays, and a beautiful rotary speaker emulation. We've also created accurate models of classic retro modulation effects such as a variety of chorus, phaser and flanger pedals. All stomp effects can be edited and copied conveniently between presets. And for your overview and convenience, we use color coded LEDs indicating which type of stomp has been used per slot: Looping In and Out External Effects. The Kemper Profiler includes an external effects loop which you can patch in anywhere among the virtual stomps boxes. The location and other details can be stored per rig. The monitor outputs also can serve as a pure analog buffer amp for re-amping: The Master Section. The master effects section features reverb, delay and additional slots for stomp boxes and studio effects to refine your amplifier's tone. The six knobs on the front panel offer convenient access to the most important settings. The reverb section features a dense and lively reverb algorithm which won't mask the original signal. The delay section features several tape and stereo delay algorithms which can be synched to MIDI clock. A special control allows for continuous crossfade between a serial and parallel routing of the delay and reverb. Both delay and reverb feature a full spillover when switching between rigs. Tails are never cut off at any time, even when the upcoming rig features totally different effects: The Input Stage. Thanks to a Hi-Z input optimized for passive guitar pickups, the Kemper Profiler offers a crystal clear signal path. We use only professional-grade analogue components to ensure that your guitar tone remains unchanged. We include a single-knob smart noise gate on the front panel that is completely transparent. It's faster than any other noise gate we have experienced and doesn't need an adjustment of the release time. Damping a string results in immediate silence: The Output Stage. The Kemper Profiler features two independent main outputs which can be used in multiple ways. The mains feature a balanced studio level connection and a parallel pair or TSRs. The monitor output optionally provides the amplifier's sound without the cabinet. This proves beneficial for musicians with an existing power amp / cabinet on stage. It makes a perfect silhouette on a 4x12 cabinet. Yet it's so light and compact that it can be taken onto a plane as hand-luggage. It is extremely versatile in terms of inputs, outputs, signal routing and remote control, as well as countless other aspects. It includes effect loop, aux-in or wet-dry-wet configurations. You could also drive a physical guitar cabinet with a signal that excludes the cabinet simulation, while simultaneously feeding a mixing desk with a complete simulation. A multitude of buttons and knobs on its front panel offer direct access to all critical parameters and are very intuitive to use. PROFILER PowerHead models just add a fanless digital power amp providing 600 watts at 4 as well as 8 ohms, and 300 watts at 16 ohms, without trading any other capabilities or connectivity options. These models with built-in power amp are the perfect choice to directly drive an unpowered KEMPER Kabinet - or any other classical guitar cabinet. Any PROFILER model can be complemented by one (mono) or two (stereo) KEMPER Power Kabinet s for your personal monitoring. For interactive remote control, you can connect the perfectly integrated one cable plug & play solution: PROFILER Remote. KEMPER Rig Manager for macOS and Windows connects via the same USB cable as USB audio and offers editor and librarian functionalities. If you connect any of these PROFILER models to a WiFi-router, you could also use Rig Manager for iOS on your iPad or iPhone to edit your sounds. All these Rig Manager variants are free-of-charge. Features: KEMPER PROFILING technology. Amp PROFILE s from various top studios and tone designers. Studio grade FX. Most comprehensive output section features full-range, guitar cab and KEMPER Kone modes. Performance Mode with seamless preset switching. Unique morphing. Wireless remote editing with iOS devices (WiFi-router required). https://youtu.be/WcZDdcErslM?si=vcS05-8xoLuOfWK2 Read More
