Long before sample packs and infinite storage were on tap, producers only had a few pieces of hardware to work with when they needed a beat. This was the golden era of ‘80s and ‘90s production, when analog circuits were bent, pushed, and overdriven to achieve the organically gritty sound heard on thousands of recordings.  Drawing from dozens of iconic units “Samples From Mars - Classic Drum Machines” is a showcase of the best beat machines of golden-era production. Craft your signature sound and explore over 70 drum kits, nearly 300 Akai Clips, and over 1,000 samples with sounds that could fill a studio.   All the staples are in tow: snares that organically snap and decay, hi-hats that slice like real bronze, toms that pop and rumble, and warm basses. Take your productions both back in time and to another analog planet with “Samples From Mars – Classic Drum Machines."  Classic Drum Machines is included with MPC Live III and MPC XL.
