The SoundMaster Stix 305 is a very rare analogue drum machine from the early eighties. This WaveShaper sample pack is a quite unique occasion to meet this very little known and lovely beat box. Your tracks will get a great retro sound, whether you are an electronic funk producer, and acid freak or a true analogue sound lover.
The Stix305 was recorded using some tube preamp and compressor and a vintage eq on top of it to keep the analogue vibe on the full recording chain.
pro kit @ 2.90$ (54 one shot samples + 13 loops, all 24bit/48khz, stereo Wav files) or free kit (09 samples, 44,1khz-16bit mono Wav files)
