Samples From Mars Dr Sample From Mars MULTIFORMAT
Drums, Instruments & Textures From the Lo-Fi Sampler Series
The SP-202, 303 and 404 are fun, easy to use, “DJ” boxes from Boss, produced in the early 2000s. For a lot of us, these were our first samplers, so they’re quite nostalgic. And while each unit differs in sound and features, they all offer a distinctly Lo-Fi color, achieved through various FX, sample rates and conversion that to this day still remains impossible to achieve in a DAW.
We called on our good friend and SP guru Owen Ross to help us out for this one, and together we created a diverse pack of dirty drum hits, multi-sampled acoustic instruments, grainy textures, pitched vox, aliased pads and gritty soundscapes.
Why the SPs Are Great Sampling Tools
All samples have their own personalties – pretty, clean, hi-fi, ugly, dirty, nasty – the list is infinite. One of the challenges we face when using samples is: how do we use stuff sourced from different places, but still make them sound like they belong together?
Fortunately, this is where the Dr shines. Whether it’s lowering the sample rate, filtering, pitch shifting, adding vinyl FX, chorus, echo, or adding nothing at all, you can sample stuff from anywhere (and we did) and the Dr. will fit it all into one gritty, lo-fi and distinct sonic home:
