Hello,

I'm interested in that archive, it's apparently free, but all separate files. The Sister Site has it, but I literally have yet to have even one download of the multi-part complete, because I have a DSL and the hosts just keep messing up.

Obviously, I can just download the individual RAR archives, but that's less desirable than the single .zip that I know is floating around.

It's one of those things where I never though to donate, because I forgot it existed, plus it's hard to tell if it's worth it without actually trying some of them.

They get like 1/3 of the way downloading, then fail every time as the individual links . . .

 

If you scroll down at their website, you can donate a little bit of money over paypal.
You will then get a single zip or rar with all the drum machine samples in it.
Future Updates included.
AND, you will support them, maintaining the site and archive.

Search for "KB6 Archives 7 2017 Relaximus", it was posted before the "iconic Japanese drum machines" "disapeared" from KB6.de

Isn't "All the Samples from Mars" a better option in 2024 ? You can find it around the corner.

 

Yeah, that's my thing, I actually bought that from them, it's a great deal. Like there must be some good stuff in the Kb6 Archive, but I think I found some in like another download, and they were very basic compared to any company that actually specializes in it.

 

It's one of those things where I wish I could just find a torrent of it, because it's so much better of a transfer method for something like the Kb6 archive.

 

Thanks for the clarification @ArticStorm I tought the "clean" folder was unaltered and that "Tube", "tape" and "color" were processed.
I never bothered to compare the "clean" folder from SFM to "set 1" , "set 2" and "set 3" from KB6.
(this exemple is for the TR-909)

I was always overwhelmed by the volume of samples and coundn't deal with scrolling endlessly for the "perfect" sample so I stopped using them as a whole and learned how to use Microtonic, Kick 2 and Serum for percussions.

If I were to make "retro" music with "classic" drums sounds nowadays I would much prefer buying a hardware clone or using the drum machines from D16 or the DMX from GForce, seems much more convenient and flexible.

 

@ArticStorm ultimately that's what I prefered about the KB6 archive, it was a community effort to share the samples for free with a "donate" option.

Not nearly as much indeed, Korg, Yamaha, Alesis, Boss, Casio, Cheetah, Elektron, Access, etc... I used to love the Jomox folder.
I never deleted the KB6 archive from my drive, you never know, things disappear from the internet sometimes, I got it before the X0X boxes where removed.

 

Yeah, someone sent me a link, now I have a copy, lots of good things in there. I like highly processed and clean, so it's all good to me. As far as highly processed stuff goes, someone recommended that GoldBaby samples, they have lots good stuff, plenty free:
