  • Elektron and Goldbaby present: Yard Sale Gear Sound Pack for Octatrack

     

    The pride of instruments you would normally find stowed away in some creaky attic has been restored. Goldbaby is the man behind this cultural achievement. He has dusted off his impressive inventory of forgotten and elusive gear and recorded them all. Soothing samba rhythms, cheap organs and plasticky and charming keyboard tones: the timelessness of the sounds make them forever contemporary.

    The sound pack is specifically made for the Octatrack. Included is an Octatrack set featuring 1 project, 16 patterns and 4 parts. Also included are 16 scenes per part, providing a great starting point for experimenting with the demo patterns.

    Sound examples from Yard Sale Gear can be heard on the Octatrack Sound & Video page.

  • Caught on Tape: 808+909 Octatrack Sound Pack by Goldbaby

    The Sound Pack Caught on Tape: 808+909 shows that classics never go out of style. The Roland TR-808 and TR-909 are legendary drum machines, cherished and praised for their sound and percussive abilities. Goldbaby has pulled out all the stops and carefully recorded these revered machines using an Ampex 351 1/2" valve 2 track tape machine. The result is warm, round and beautifully saturated analog sounds — perfect sample material for the Octatrack.
