So, a few weeks ago, my nocoast came back after sending it in to Make Noise for some minor repairs, and I was so glad because it’s one of my favorite synths ever. HEXASEX Vol. 3 is coming eventually - it’s a bit stagnant at the moment because I’ve been low on inspiration for making music lately, but my passion for sound design isn’t waning, so I made it my goal to kick off the new year with a new quality sample pack. As usual, the focus is on drums, but due to the inherently tonal nature of the nocoast, many of these drums are quite … well, tonal! So if you want to make a bass line out of any of them, go nuts!
Having purchased myself an Octatrack, it’s come to my attention that the Octatrack files I had created with Octachainer were no good. Not sure if that was user error, but regardless, I have created chains that I have confirmed actually work. (always a nice thing), with the added bonus of being more densely packed for memory savings.
I gave the Shore Loser sample pack a spin in my Octatrack this weekend. I havnt used just samples like this to create someting in a while, and I had a blast doing it! There are a lot of great drums and textures in here!
