sorry, I should have phrased that better - I was interested in what samplers had the famous test tones & so on (eg Sweet Exorcist's "Testone" haha). any particular Akai samplers? s2000? thanks.

(I have no idea (or, currently, access) whatsoever about the technology or the music theory involved.)

s1000

for yr more rave bleeps - n joi, altern 8, strictly underground etc., the roland sh 101 was the main source.

All Akai samplers since the S900 have powered up with a test program and a number of basic waveform samples including a sine. So exactly the same result could be (and was) achieved on S900, S950, S1000, S3000, S2000 and presumably other, more recent models.

You mean when it has an almost brassy rasp to it (not the tinkly, pure sine sound)? Yes an analog synth (or sample of one) would be used to produce that raspier sound. Not necessarily an SH-101 though. Could be anything.

Woah... I second that mmmsalt....nice to see some less common stuff for download...the Drumtrax is something I've been looking for for a while. And the VL-tone...excellent.

Isn't it? I couldn't believe my luck when I first stumbled across it...

By the way, if anyone is using an MPC, Hollow Sun also have a bunch of classic drum machine / beatbox kits with pgms already laid out and made available for the MPC1000 via akaipro.com. Should work on the 2000 / 2000xl / 4000 as well as the 1000.

2 eps of old school rave noise that have been extracted from recently found DATs by one of the folks from The Auteurs ('The Cellist').
despite the age of these tracks, they still sound wonderful.
