Love of a Tape Machine Sample Pack

The sample pack comprises 208 files (9+ GB zipped, 48kHz, 24bit, stereo) of no-input ambiences, recorded using a feedbacking Yamaha MT50 Multi-Track cassette recorder, run through pedals, and later processed in the box. The sounds can be used as is (or further processed) for robot-like chatter, glitch sounds and talking machines, or chopped up and remixed for UI-sounds, beats and whatever digital disturbance you may imagine.

A hot tip is to import the sounds into a sampler, such as Kontakt or Soundpaint, adding your preferred tonal samples as additional layers together with effect processing, and create unique pads, basses and leads.

“I recently found my old Yamaha MT50 at the attic and, instantly, all the memories of me as a young kid, sitting in my room, playing the guitar, pretending to be a film composer by recording and layering poured over me. I just had to pay homage to this old flame of mine, and pulled some cables in and out, creating a no-input feedback loop, to see what happened. It is a specific, perhaps esoteric library, but, to me, it's magic” - Robin Rolfhamre
