DMD Driven Machine Drums 3 and M.D. Bundle WAV

WAV | 226.37 MB

The Driven Machine Drums 3 + M.D. Bundle is the result of a 3-year effort, combining over $57,000 in synthesis and engineering technology. The goal was to create an inspiring and unique “go-to” library which generated stunning results quickly and with ease.

The DMD3 library includes 2,426 samples in 9 percussion types: kicks, snares, claps, toms, real percussion, synth percussion, hihats, cymbals, and unknown electronic.

The samples were hand filtered from over 16,000 samples, recorded with mastering quality AD converters. The samples were edited with great care, allowing for perfect attacks and smooth decays.

The percussion types are further categorized into folders by texture, like analog, deep, soft, glitch, dirty, etc. With so many samples in the library, it is great to have this in-depth folder structure to find specific sounds fast.

As with previous Driven Machine Drums libraries, Nathaniel has used a wide range of sources to synthesize the samples.

From modular synths to physical modeling devices, modern & classic analog drum machines to vintage digital sources.

The recorded samples were processed with a variety of analog outboard gear, like compressors, filters & EQs, tubes, transformers, delays, reverbs… The amount of gear listed on the website is truly impressive.

Various techniques were used to shape the sound of the samples.

Parallel processing to ensure pure transients while boosting the body

Analog harmonics TASTEFULLY added to add warmth and depth while increasing psycho-acoustic impression of loudness

This is where a good sample library becomes a great sample library. The samples have tons of character and they are rich in texture. They sound loud, yet mixing the samples is much easier than with most other libraries.

Also included in the sample library bundle is the Driven Machine Drums M.D. Collection.

This collection of samples sourced from the Elektron Machinedrum and Roland TR-909 was first introduced in June 2013, bundled with DMD Strikes Back.

The Machinedrum combines flexible drum synthesis methods with a sampling engine. It was captured and processed with a carefully selected chain of the best analog tubes, compressors, transformers, EQ, effects, and A/D convertor/clock and cable.

Handpicked from over 8,000 recorded samples, DMDMD includes 2,733 samples in 5 machine types.

EFM = Enhanced Feedback Modulation Synthesis

PI = Acoustic Drum Modeling

TRX = Vintage Analog Character

EP12 = Classic Vintage Beatbox Character

FR909 = Classic Analog Drum Machine (TR-909)
