Yet as unfaithful as this sampling process was, it was full of character that's proven impossible to recreate - especially the re-pitched tape hits, and the SSL processing. Or that it's important to have a less subtractive approach to sampling, since the end user will be subtractive anyways (adding their own EQ, compression, etc).

Or that I could move EPROMs around to tune them instead of using tape. There were things I just didn't know yet - that the congas on this unit were actually LM1 congas. As a result, the original, "legacy" version of the Lindrum From Mars was not very faithful to the original machine. Here's my first (somewhat lacking) product photo of the LM2 I rented, propped on an IKEA kitchen table:Īlthough I had years of experience as a producer and engineer, sampling a drum machine was foreign to me. With only one studio day booked, I went about sampling this drum machine every which way, processing hits however I wanted, and re-pitching the results on a tape machine. Then, I rented a studio with an SSL console (I'd been engineering at a pop studio where I'd learned that an SSL console was the secret weapon to drum machines). So, with almost no equipment to my name, I hired a car, trekked it out to New Jersey, and rented an LM2. So I figured - if even a couple people buy the Lindrum samples, that'll be reason enough for me to start a company that can hopefully support my crazy drum machine addiction someday. I wondered why so many sample packs were based on trendy genres and made from software when these hardware machines themselves were so inspiring and had such a rich history. 6 years ago, this company began simply as a response to one question: "why aren't there any great quality Lindrum samples around?".
