Behold the Roland TR-303. Chicago acid house lovers and jackmasters, who aren't lucky enough to actually own one of these vintage tools, can now own all the samples, tones, and patterns on this one cd. For those in the dark, the...   expand review  TR-303 was one of the Roland's first units attempting to be a automated bass player. Not so popular upon initial release, but when the TR-303 fell into the hands of budding Acid house producers, such as Phuture, DJ Pierre, and Mr. Lee, it spawned a movement essential to electronic dance music today. Laid out with the producer in mind, tracks 2-13 are all 303 patterns that range from 120, 130, and 150 bpm. Tracks 14-46 are all voice data sampled in three octaves, with different samples for each parameter: wave form, cut off freq, resonance, env mod, and decay. Pretty in-exhaustive, when considering the all the possibilities modern samplers have. -the Commish

OVERVIEW IK's SampleMoog is one of the most complete collections of Moog sounds ever released in one product. This program gives you full access to the most sought-after vintage and modern Moog synthesizers spanning the entire Moog history all in a easy to...   expand review  use, sample-based virtual instrument. From the very first Moog Modular systems and the extremely rare Moog Taurus bass pedal, to contemporary synths like the Moog Voyager (Daft Punk's secret weapon) and the Moog Little Phatty, SampleMoog allows you to play and manipulate 4GB's of multi-sampled sounds from these incredible analog synths with full MIDI control for a truly affordable price (a fraction of cost of finding and purchasing all the actual synths). FEATURES 16 highly acclaimed Moog synthesizers are at your disposal with SampleMoog: - Modular Moog 3C - Modular Moog 15 - Modular Moog 55 - Minimoog Model D - Polymoog - Moog Taurus 1 - Moog Vocoder - Moog Prodigy - Moog Multimoog - Moog Vocoder - Moog/Realistic Concertmate MG-1 - Moog Source - Moog Rogue - Memorymoog - Moog Theremin - Moog Voyager - Moog Little Phatty Each synth was meticulously sampled from the actual Moog synthesizers giving the virtual instrument incredibly realistic sound and feel. There are over 400 multi-sampled sounds with over 2,000 preset patches (basses, leads, pads and effects) totaling in over 4GB of samples. Plus the 16 part multi-timbral sample-based synth engine allows for extremely complex synth layering and advanced manipulation. In addition, there are also built-in multi-effects - 4 effects per part selectable on 32 high quality DSP effects with BPM sync, over 50 synth controls with Mono/Poly/Legato modes with selectable Legato, 2 LFOs, 2 Envelopes, syncable LBF/BPF/HPF Filters, Velocity, Range and Macro controls, SampleTank compatibility, 256 notes polyphony and easy to use full MIDI control. SampleMoog works as a VST or RTAS plug-in for your favorite audio program or as a standalone app for Mac or PC. OUR OPINION Access to the legendary analog sound from the entire history of Moog synthesizers make this a no brainer. For the price of this program you would not even be able to purchase one of these rare Moog synths, much less 16 of them! With all these sounds and effects at your disposal, it's incredible boost in production power for your studio. This a dream come true for fans of the Moog sound that could never afford an actual Moog. Highly Recommended. -the mgmnt
