Vice is a unique sample pack featuring rare LinnDrum samples sourced from alternate EPROMs. This collection is a hidden gem for producers aiming to infuse their tracks with authentic 80s drum sounds, distinct from the factory LinnDrum samples found in numerous other sample packs. Perfect for those seeking to add a distinct, retro touch to their tracks, Vice is an invaluable resource for recreating the iconic drumbeats that defined a decade.
The LinnDrum, released in 1982, was a pioneering drum machine, one of the first to utilize digital samples for realistic drum sounds. It featured the capability to swap samples by changing the EPROMs (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory chips), the digital chips containing the sample data. This led to the creation of iconic drum sounds, as heard in Shout by Tears for Fears and the Miami Vice Theme by Jan Hammer. Vice recreates this aesthetic by offering high-quality WAV samples recorded from these alternate EPROMs, providing an authentic sound but with all the modern quality-of-life features offered by modern DAWs and samplers.
All drum tracks were created with the Vice preset kits in Ableton Live.
The Vice download comes with sampler presets for the following DAWs:
The download also includes the WAV one shot samples that can be loaded into any sampler or DAW.
