There is also a great little plugin for the Amen Break (PC only). I think there is a thread on KVR about it some where.

Of course you can program it. You can even make it sound like the original, if you tinker enough - check the user presets's libary of Addictive drums for example.

But more than often it is used as a foundation to fatten up the main groove.

So timbres then get lost.

I'm bumping this to say.

Do not buy this guys sample pack if you come across it as I did.

He can't even be bothered to sample the break from original source himself.

Sampling from physical media has nuances, the input level massively affects the sound of the sample.

Sampling in general has been the blind leading the blind for a few decades now, basic no nos like this should not be tolerated.

This entire thing is just silly. Stop looking backward and create something new.

Or just buy your own copy of either the record, Color Him Father, or the 7" single, which are cheap and plenty available. Hell, there's even modern day represses if you want em. Sample your own Amen and destroy it yourself.
