Looking for Lo-Fi Drum Samples...scissors, typewriters, etc

OP-1
#1

Hi,
I know how to sample and have pulled down a bunch of great drum kits from the OP user site.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some lo-fi drum samples, things that sound like:

  • AM radio
  • Scissors/Typewriter
  • Distorted drum samples
  • Drum samples that break up

I’ve stumbled across some really cool ones, but wondering if anyone has put together any patches like these sounds.

thx.

Freesound is a nice place to look for sound effects and stuff, e.g., here is a sample of scissors:

Some of the sounds there are CC licensed, so they might require attribution if you use them.

Have you used the original op-1 drum presets before they updated them?

#4

I have not. Are there some older presets that had these sort of samples?

#5

Yep. The drum patches from operating systems right up to 14203.
They are ace and well more left field than the replacements. I prefer them and keep my 2nd op-1 in that OS. I miss out on arp sequencer and voltage synth, plus nice user synth presets (the og synth presets were poor).
Someone will of saved a bunch of presets here somewhere but I cant help you more than that sorry.
Titles like Daily blip, circuit bend, acoustic toy and electric toy may be worth investigating.
