These bassdrums come from nepheton, an excellent 808 emulator plugin.
They've been effected with some subtle distortion from a couple plugins to warm it up and give a fuller sound.. But not so much that you cant go and add your own character to them.
I am aware that everyone has 808 samples, but usually people only have a bassdrum at maybe one or 2 decay levels and tone settings, these are intended to be a wider set so that you can get closer to exactly the sound you want.
The way the pack is arranged is as follows:
each WAV has a prefix to it's name - eg, nCnS.
This stands for 'no Click (attack sound), no Sweep(pitch envelope)'
the other letters used in place of n; (h and f) stand for half, or full.
I couldn't be bothered sampling more than 9 combinations of settings.
Each WAV contains multiple versions of the same sound, each with a longer decay than the last.. This is necessary because of the lack of amp envelope on the SP samplers. Simply use the mark/start-end functions to select the bassdrum with the decay you want. This way you wont get any nasty clicking by cutting a long kick short manually.
Enjoy, and stay tuned for more. . more drums + multisampled synth packs to come!
PS: I apologize for the long gaps between the first couple samples.. the process was somewhat automated and I had to leave enough room for the long decay ones every note.
