Roland R-8 MkII Samples
The Roland R-8 MkII is a 90s classic. It is still much revered today for its clean, deep sound. The original R-8 focussed on acoustic sounds, but the popularity of the SN-R8-04 Electronic and SN-R8-10 Dance sound cards, which contained TR-808, TR-909 and CR-78 samples, prompted Roland to release the MkII which had most of those sounds already built in.
Attack 808 – Waldorf Rack Samples
Attack808 is a collection of 808-esque sounds from the lovely RackAttack drum synthesizer from the german Waldorf. In this library there are 24 sounds inspired by the Roland TR-808, ranging from kicks and snares to cowbell and bass sounds(!). All sounds were sampled with an Akai S950 hardware sampler in different settings.
