OBSOLETE 1

56 samples designed to stretch the imagination of electronic music producers who love to bend (and blend) genres. OBSOLETE 1 pulls 6 technological devices from our past into a future of audio yet to be experienced by human ears. FEATURES • 56 all-new production-ready sounds (that's three+ 16-pad banks!) designed to mash up genres • Every sample builds upon the mechanical traits of obsolete tech • Samples incorporate the nuance of VCR decks, rotary analog telephones, hand-cranked radios, monochromatic video game consoles and more • Contains core drum kit elements such as kicks and snares, flanked by eccentric sonic flourishes to set your tracks apart • Wet and dry variations of specific samples for instant inspiration and customization • Inimitable audible textures jump out of speakers with seemingly visible colors of excitement • Captured in the 96 kHz / 24-bit domain for huge dynamic range and ultra-low noise floor • Ultra-wide imaging for full-bodied impact on headphones and speakers DETAILS Each sample in OBSOLETE 1 contains elements of consumer electronic devices rendered obsolete by technological advancements. The devices and their mechanical characteristics were dissected and stitched into the fabric of all-new percussion samples. The devices in OBSOLETE 1 include a rotary analog telephone phone, an electric typewriter, two video cassette recorders, hi-fi cassette player, crank emergency radio, and monochromatic handheld video game console. From core drum kit elements to eccentric sonic flourishes, this sound pack turns one man’s trash into a beat maker’s treasure. The entire sample pack was captured at 96 kHz, with a 24-bit depth for superb dynamic range and realism. Suited perfectly for this task, a stereo set of e914 small-diaphragm condenser microphones were used to detail the microscopic nuances of each obsolete device, further enhanced by ultra-fat imaging. On speakers and headphones, these one-of-a-kind drums sound fresh and full-bodied, seemingly jumping into the air with color and excitement. COMPATIBILITY Pyro Audio samples work with all popular DAWs and groove production software that supports .WAV files. This includes (but is not limited to): Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, MPC Software, Maschine, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Studio One, iPad apps, and so on.  Pyro Audio samples work with any hardware samplers that support 24-bit, 48 kHz .WAV files. Older samplers that do not support internal loading of 24-bit content will require that the samples be converted to 16-bit or lower. A number of free converter tools are available here so that if your requirements change, you can still use your Pyro collection.
