Obscure 505

The Roland 505 is often passed over as a pedestrian-sounding drum machine. However, it has many useful sounds reminiscent of the classics like a 707ish kick and hat, a fat snare and clap, clear toms, some extra percussion, and more. These sounds are actually really good and versatile. Synthwave folks will enjoy this pack thoroughly. The drums are more realistic sounding than analog-sounding so they can be used to inject some organic textures into productions.

This particular 505 was saved from going to the technology dumpster aka e-cycling. I think the reason people don't get along with it is more because of the hard-to-read screen and somewhat cryptic sequencer. The sounds are good though.

16x Raw sounds are included in this pack without any processing. These were samples straight to the wire via an MPC at 16-bit 44.1khz WAV.
