Beatmaker. Recorded using authentic 1955 ribbon microphones and vintage drums specific to the era, Soulfi captures the heartbeat of a timeless era, reimagined by our innovative beatmaker.
To capture the dynamic drum sound typical of the era, we used vintage RCA ribbon microphones, with modern ribbon mics playing a supporting role. Known for their smooth, natural response and rich tonal qualities, these classic microphones create an authentic old-school atmosphere.
Each drum was carefully recorded using iron alloy transformers, giving the recording a rich, warm analog sound that adds depth and character to each hit.
The RCA mics were paired with vintage tube EQs for crisp tone and low-end punch.
We created 41 different kits from over 100 vintage and modern drums, which were recorded using multiple layers of loops and velocity.
The sample selection includes kick drums, snare drums, hi-hats, toms, rides, crashes, and a wide range of percussion elements such as bongos, maracas, cowbells, tambourines, shakers, claves, clicks, claps and more.
We’ve created over 100 rhythms inspired by our favorite artists, decades and styles.
Each rhythm contains 7 variations, giving you over 700 grooves to help you get creative.
Each rhythm syncs perfectly to the rhythm of your project without any time or loss of fidelity!
With the studio Beatmaker, it’s easy to create, modify and split a wide range of rhythms.
Simply distribute your patterns across eight bars and switch between them in real time for dynamic and complex performances.
Bend the rhythm up, down and sideways with the pitch bend wheel and modulation wheel. Stretch time, change pitch, and increase the number of beats to create an expressive and elastic performance.
