Nice and free 808s!

Share your resources!

Reason's Rebirth did a pretty good job.

I've used it freestanding and also found a MIDI export for it... but that was a long time ago.

I think Rebirth is fully legal freeware these days.

Maybe give it a try?

I guess I thought that Cakewalk came with some good 808 libraries... was it the Roland Groove synth that had the actual samples included?

Good Luck.

Actually, 808 samples/libraries in general, not the actual 808 program. I don't have that anymore. I was pertaining to the sounds of the 808. Like what Mike shared.

I'm primarily interested in the kicks!

Sorry for having such a unspecific post though!

@Mike
I'll look into rebirth

If it's the sounds you are after and you own Sonar, look at the samples included in the Session Drummer 3. Those samples are directly from Roland so they will not get better. They will be dry, but that's exactly how the machine was as well.

+1 again.
seth p mentions this in the sonar masterclass drums video... authentic roland 808 samples.

I remember a while back, a really nice guy posted a link to his sample library of his 808. I downloaded it just to add some more sounds to my library and the work he had done was stunning in quality! I believe it was posted in the Sonar Producer forum here. You may have to search but it is well worth it. Not the X1 forum, just Producer. You may check rhythminmind.net. There are some very nice libraries over there. He even has some convolution files that can bee loaded into Perfect Space. A great collection of classic Lexicons,compressors, very old school stuff.

@everyone

Thanks for all those that you have shared!

@M@B
That's an insight! I will check it out now.

Wow, i wish i could find that thread and still get to download those samples. Do you know his username?

Sorry, I just tryed the link and it is no longer available. There were some nice 808s over at Hollow Sun for free. I have a huge drum sample library I have collected over the years. If you can't find something on line, I will be happy to try to get them to you as a download or send you a disc in the mail. I will continue to see if I can find them for you.

http://www.gotchanoddin.com/mpc/free.htmlMaybe some of these will help. Like I said, I checked my library for 808s and I have so many from 6 MB up to 150MBs.

wow great thread.
