Wave Alchemy has released a free drum hit sample library, LinnDrum Tape, to celebrate their 8th birthday.
Linndrum Tape is a free sample collection that features 215 drum samples, created using the iconic LinnDrum LM-2 drum machine. The samples were created by recording to 1/2″ analog tape, using an Ampex ATR-102 vintage tape machine at multiple saturation levels.
The sample library is a free download (.zip).
can’t beat that
now you can moan
Thanks very much, Wave Alchemy!
Now bring on the Synthwave!
the 102 is a gorgeous machine. owned two of them at one time.
Awesome thanks!
I’m surprised to see this. Didn’t the Samples From Mars guys have to pull their Linndrum sample pack due to copyright issues? These are samples of samples, after all – not of an analog drum machine. I’m not sure you’re allowed to do this.
reading this,I thought the work around to the copyright issues was that theses are classed as original samples ,newly created, due to the ” 1/2 inch tape recording ….. at various saturation levels” process.
As a general rule, It’s illegal to redistribute other people’s original samples – but not to use them in new recordings.
I would argue that it is only copyright if it is an exact byte-for-byte / bit-for-bit digital copy of the EPROMS in PCM / Wave format.
If the samples have been process in any way ie. through same simulation effects in this case, then the final offer is not the above !
The same goes for Ripping CD-audio and encoding it to MP3… the MP3 data has been processed by an algorithm so it is not a byte-for-byte / bit-for-bit copy of the PCM data that was on the CD !
I would love to see you argue that in a court of law against an intellectual property lawyer.

Keep comments on topic and constructive.
love these folks
Thanks 🙂
You put samples into a drum machine and sell it…thats it, they are public domain. Id like you see you fight in court a copyright on samples from a drum machine. “im sure youre not allowed to do this”? Stop acting like babies. The horse has already bolted
Thank you! I do cut and splice molecular level madness in soundforge lol, so these are loads of fun. Love “rim_02_t2”
Cheers!
Thank you! I created a Roland S-550 disk with a selection of these Linn Drum samples: I will use this disk only for personal fun (I’m a not-professional synth entusiast). Is it possible to redistribute – for free – this Roland S-550 disk to whom it may ask for a copy? Tahnk you.
Is the collection removed?

I’m searching for a WAV of the factory preset data load… to load the factory patterns into a restored linndrum. Does anyone have a copy, or would anyone be willing to make one?
The article erroneously mentions an “LM-2”, which does not exist. The writer is referring to the LinnDrum.
