Through a series of happy accidents, they utilized unique transistors, creating a one-of-a-kind sound that set the 808 in its own sonic universe. At the time, the high cost of memory drove Roland engineers to use analog synthesis instead of samples for its sounds.
In 1980, the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer was released as a quick and easy songwriting tool for musicians. After unpacking, the library will occupy 19.6 MB of space on your hard drive.“It’s almost impossible to imagine the modern musical landscape without the distinctive sounds of the Roland TR-808 drum machine.”
You’ll find 96 clap samples and 62 finger snaps. The library contains 158 individual samples. The samples come in stereo 24-bit WAV format with a 44.1 kHz sampling rate. You can also make some great sounding fat claps if you layer several different clap samples and trigger them at the same time. My advice is to use several similar claps or snap samples in a round-robin fashion to achieve more natural results. Technical DetailsĪll samples have been normalized to -0.1 dB and carefully trimmed to avoid any pops or clicks. It features more than 600 MB of high-quality loops of rainfall and thunder strikes. I’ve tried to keep my hands apart as much as possible, which resulted in an excellent stereo separation in the majority of the sounds.īy the way, you should also check out our Rain And Thunder sound library if you’re looking for free thunderstorm sound effects. Most of the snaps have been recorded with both hands at the same time to achieve that classic musical finger snap sound. The ones labeled snap-far have been recorded in my living room, from various distances. The samples labeled snap-close have been recorded from close range, with almost zero reverb. The snap samples are sorted into four different groups. The claps which were recorded in the empty hallway in front of my apartment also sound nice, and they work great when layered on top of classic 808 snares. Although you’re free to add your own reverb to these sounds, of course, it’s often helpful to have percussion samples that already capture the natural reverb characteristics of different rooms.Īlthough sitting alone in a toilet and clapping into a microphone isn’t precisely the best way to spend a day, I’m delighted with how those samples turned out. The clap samples have been recorded in six different rooms, from a tiny toilet to a large empty hallway. This free collection should remedy the situation, packing over 150 different real-life snaps and claps. I have many electronic clap sounds on my computer, but good sounding natural claps are a bit harder to find. The result is a comprehensive and diverse collection of natural-sounding handmade percussion sounds. The idea was to capture the natural reverb characteristics of different spaces.
The sounds were recorded in six different indoor locations. Hands Make Sounds is a free sound library featuring 158 samples of handclaps and finger snaps.
