Reflex Audio has just unveiled a collection of over 650 samples of vintage synths: The Analogue Collection. There are two dozen synths in there: ARP Odyssey, Chroma Polaris, Elka Synthex, EML ElectroComp 101, Kawai K3, Korg MS-20, MemoryMoog and Minimoog, Oberheim Matrix 12, OB-1, SEM, and Expander, Roland Juno 106, Roland Jupiter 8, Roland MC 202, Roland MKS-80, Roland SH-7, Roland TB 303, Sequential Prophet 5, Prophet 600, and Six-Trak, Waldorf Microwave, and Yamaha CS-5 and CS-50. The samples are available as 86 audio tracks (multisampled, no less, with 160 patches) and include liner notes. I’m impressed: there’s definitely some stuff that’s hard to find otherwise!
Exclusive CDM deal: The CD with liner notes is US$49 with free shipping, but exclusive to CDM readers, you can take advantage of a 40% discount (that’s $20, for those of you who can’t multiply). Enter coupon code createdigitalmusic.com on the order page for the instant discount. (Thanks, Reflex!)
but where are the audio samples? any included patches for samplers? i need more info.
The CD is in standard "Red Book audio" format. You can use most audio ripping/editing tools to grab the samples you need and map them into your software or hardware sampler.
I would love it if CDM would partner up with small developers and offer deep discounts on select products. Kind of a Woot! for music software.
