E1 Electro: 606 Beats

Element One proudly presents E1 Electro: 606 Beats - the debut release from our new E1 Electro series - a series of packs focusing on classic vintage gear from the world of Electro music. Within this series, we take vintage synthesisers and drum machines and produce a diverse selection of must-have audio tools for any Electro producer wanting to explore these legendary machines. We explore the classic sounds and uses, whilst also pushing the gear into a more modern territory, for a versatile mix of both classic and contemporary sounds. The TR-606 is an analog drum machine released by Roland in 1981. It was originally designed to be a drum companion to the legendary Roland TB-303 synthesiser, however, over the years, the TR-606 has developed into a legendary drum machine, becoming an integral part of the Electro sound. The TR-606 has been loved by the likes of Autechre, Aphex Twin, Nine Inch Nails, Plastikman, and Massive Attack. Within this Pack, you’ll find an extensive selection of Loops, both Full & Top loops (Kick removed) from a variety of timbres - including clean, tape-driven, distorted, reverb FX, and more, including experimental styles, such as Bitcrushed, and Karplused. You’ll also find accompanying MIDI loops for each beat, raw TR-606 samples for custom sequencing and mixing, and 2x TR-606 Ableton Drum racks with full Macro controls for extensive sound design and mixing control. One Drum Rack focuses on the more classic, vintage sound, whilst the other explores new avenues of sound design, taking the TR-606 into a more modern, experimental framework. All these sounds are downloadable in HD WAV at 44.1kHz and 24bit and are all tempo labelled so that you can explore these with maximum ease. All loops and one-shot samples are 100% royalty-free.
