01Overview

Pure Analog is a Maschine sound pack from Niche Audio that focuses on analog character. The developer built each element from analog hardware, covering drums, basses, pads, stabs and effects, and captured them through vintage preamps with discrete tube distortion. The pack includes Ableton Live resources alongside its Maschine content, so it fits producers who work across both environments. Its sounds are not tied to one style, which makes it useful for building warm, textured tracks in several electronic genres.

Analog Sound Sources and Character

Niche Audio says every oscillator and element in the pack was produced from analog hardware, from drum hits to bass samples, pads and effects. The sounds were captured through vintage analog preamps and, according to the developer, colored with discrete tube distortion units.

The drum sounds draw on a mix of drum machines, including the Elektron Analog RYTM, Vermona DRMIII, Jomox Mbrane, Vermona Kick Lancet, Roland 808 and 909. Bass, keys, FX, stabs and chords come from synths such as the Moog Voyager, Elektron A4, Oberheim Matrix 1000 and Dave Smith Prophet 08.

After capture, the developer processed each pad, rack and note inside Maschine and Ableton Live to bring out the warmth of the tones.

Kits, Patterns and Use in House, Techno and Electronica

The pack contains 13 drum racks, 15 Maschine groups, 5 starter projects and 12 Ableton starter projects. The developer describes the kits and patterns as inspired by a range of artists, and says they cover dance, house, techno and film score styles.

The pack is not built around a single genre. Its drum kits, sequences and sounds suit house, techno and electronica tracks, and the starter projects give you a working layout to adapt for your own arrangements.
