A labour of love from start to finish, Tuned Tape Drums provides a unique twist on the classic machines we all know and love; delivering over 8,000 characterful tape drum samples from a jaw-dropping line-up of iconic drum machines and layered sound sources – processed impeccably using a 100% hardware chain throughout, and lovingly tuned across two full octaves (per sound) in the analogue domain using tape machine Varispeed!
The line-up
From quirky drum synths such as the SDSV and Syncussion, to timeless classics such as the 808, 909 and everything in-between; we sourced a collection of beautifully restored drum machines specifically for the purpose of this project:

- Drumtraks
- CR-78
- OB-DX
- 707

- Mixed Machines – a unique selection of lesser known drum machines, hybrid drum sounds, synthesized and never heard before drums…
- Layered – a unique collection of heavily layered modern drum sounds. We carefully layered sound sources from modern drum machines, synths, foley / found sound, acoustic drums & percussion and many more creative sources.
