An introduction to Round Robin 808 and Preservation Series 808. Get to know our 808 libraries.

First things first… what are round robin samples and why are they important? If you’re new to the idea, round robin sampling involves recording multiple versions of the same sound and cycling through those versions on playback. Because each sample is just a little bit different than the next, the more round robins you have, the more realistic and alive a sample-based instrument can be.

Round Robin 808 and Preservation Series 808 libraries are 96k recordings of the vintage hardware with no transformative processing at all. Feel free to compare them to the feel and quality of anything else in your arsenal. You’ll find that these samples are the most authentic, alive, and high resolution 808s you’ve ever heard.

The Test Kit contains only 5% of the total recorded content. Get the rest with Preservation Series 808 or try Round Robin 808 R&D.
