Description
The Tape808 has been very well received so we decided to give the TR909 some tape love!...
This is 1446 samples taken from a mint 909 recorded into an Ampex 351 1/2" valve 2 track tape machine! That's not all... We also put the 909 through other vintage gear.
Plus we recorded it naked into a Metric Halo ULN-2 firewire audio card. Then we chose the best samples.
All 24 bit, and all solid 909 goodness! If you can't get a hold of a real 909 then this is as close as you can get in samples... Maybe even better than the having the real thing!
