VINTAGE HEAT provides a warm and meaty sound character based on samples from vintage analog gear combined with creative, modern recording techniques, perfectly in tune with contemporary, cutting-edge production standards. All samples were lovingly hand crafted by the renowned New Zealand sample guru Goldbaby, and consist of 51 kits including drum and percussion samples as well as multi-sampled melodic synth sounds and dedicated pre-programmed patterns for each kit.

TRANSISTOR PUNCH contains a premium selection of drum hits, melodic synthesizer sounds, advanced multi-effect chains, and pre-programmed patterns full of dancefloor bounce.
Developed by Surround SFX, over 900 samples of one-shot drum and multi-sampled instruments were created using modern and vintage drum machines and synthesizers as source material - plus unusual sources such as metal whisky boxes, glasses full of coffee beans, and ancient Swiss cowbells. The results are a MASCHINE EXPANSION that adds a carefully-crafted set of new and instantly useable sounds to your MASCHINE library.
