Hi,
In your view, what are the best drum modules to recreate the classic late 80's early 90's chicago house drum sounds (beyond the 808 and 909 clone).
E.g. Lots of records on Nu Groove Records are not on x0x beats.
Any idea/suggestions?
thanks
ciao!
Just listened to some old Nu Groove stuff. A lot of it sounds like 909 or processed 808/909 samples to me, but "Your Love (Club)" by Aphrodisiac reminds me of the Kawai R100, a late 80s drum machine, which was used by a lot of the Wax Trax bands (Ministry, etc.).
Good luck!
If you got the modules available musicradar did a great article on patching your own 808/909 style drums. Can do a ton with just a noise module through a multimode filter... https://www.musicradar.com/how-to/how-to-recreate-classic-analogue-drum-sounds-in-your-daw-and-with-hardware
A lot of the records back then were made with old ROMplers and samplers like DMX, DX, LinnDrum, 707, RZ-1, S950, SP1200 etc. So honestly beyond 808/909 you probably just need a sampler module and Sample From Mars all the drums which always goes on sale every Black Friday for I wanna say like under $50 which all sound awesome and has more drums than you could ever need.
Check the drum modules by Sound-Force.. later versions can swap samples if i remember correctly.
