about

The Tanzbär Lite was the late, great Manfred Fricke of MFB's take on the Roland TR-808, however it has a gritty sound that is both raw and unique.

For starters, the pack features 167 painstakingly tuned and tagged samples from this compact Berlin powerhouse drum machine. This pack features 54 kicks, 8 snares, 8 claps, 21 toms, 21 congas, 21 cowbells, 12 claves, 9 cymbals, 9 hi-hats and... 1 rimshot!

As the Tanzbär LIte is based on the Roland TR-808, there's really only one core sound with a bunch of variables - I have captured each sound in terms of tuning, tone, decay, noise and attack, where applicable.Furthermore, each sound has been recorded in as many tunings as possible. Perfect for electronic dance music such as minimal techno and house, but equally at home in breakbeat and hip-hop roles, especially with the addition of effects. All individual samples are provided in both 24-bit and 16-bit versions to maximise compatibility with samplers, and are all presented at 48khz sample rate. All samples are royalty-free.

There are also seven sample chains provided with the download, including .ot files designed for use with the Elektron Octatrack (pre-sliced sample chains), which allow for the sounds to be used from several big samples rather than 167 individual ones. These sample chains are presented in 24-bit and 44.1khz sample rate so they work better with the Octatrack, though the samples will work nicely in any sampler such as those from Native Instruments, Akai, Roland, Elektron, Korg, Pioneer, Synthstrom and 1010 Music, as well as all DAWs.

Finally, there is an Ableton Live Drum Selector rack (will work in Live Suite 11.2 and above) which allows you to program a pattern and change the sample with the turn of an encoder, as well as alter decay, pitch, distortion, compression etc of the whole kit with ease.

The tuning of the samples is clearly labelled on the file names and great care has been made to make them as true to tone as possible, though being analog instruments this is impossible to get perfect.. These samples will work very nicely in any sampler such as those from Native Instruments, Akai, Roland, Elektron, Polyend, Erica Synths, Korg, Pioneer, Synthstrom and 1010 Music, among many others.
