Boxed Ear has released CR-78, a free sample pack featuring 17 one-shots and 27 loops captured from the Roland CompuRythm CR-78 drum machine.
We decided to sample the CR-78 though a Universal Audio 1176 compressor to give it a little more analog magic. Included in the pack are 17 single hit WAV files and 27 RX2 Recycle loops.
CR-78 is available for free download via Boxed Ear. The same company has recently released Mighty M5, a commercial (priced at $49) collection of Macbeth M5 semi-modular analog synthesizer samples.
If you’re looking for more free drum machine samples, don’t miss BPB Free Sample Shootout #5. Plenty of great freebies to be found there, and I’ll probably add this pack, too. If you’d prefer a CR-78 in VST plugin format, check out reTromine by Marvin Pavilion.
