Cyclick Samples - Retro House Volume 1 [24Bit WAV] -Sin

This sample set swings back to the simple old days of house, with beats, basslines, piano and
pad loops, drum kits and multisampled instruments. The drums all hail from the Roland
TR realm, with a selection of kick, snare, hi-hat, toms and percussion layers to load into your
sampler of choice. The multisampled instruments include the five bass synths
(C0-C3, white notes) and two pianos (C1-C6, white notes) used to make the looped
lines. The basses all have their sustain loop ranges embedded in the WAV files so they
should be able to load into any sampler platform with the minimum of fuss.

The pianos were created with the Kurzweil K2600r, with a tip of the hat to the Korg M1
sound. The beats were created in layers (kicks, snares, hats, etc) – three different mixes
were made with the kick, and you also get two or three other layers (kick/snare/hats,
kick/rimshots/toms/cymbals, kick/claps/ percussion). The piano and pad loops were
recorded alongside some of the basslines, but they’ll swap around quite easily, so no need to
match them up – it’s assumed they’ll be further stretched and pitched anyway!

Swing was used in the writing of the beats and lines, and it varied from 50% to 75% in
Nuendo. It was too much to include this info within the file names, but a little mismatching
can always bring the funk!
