Any good ones out there?

I don’t know what they used . Linn? Dmx?

I have an old battery 3 Library somewhere on a old harddrive of my Cousin. Does this have those?


Also could Need something for House stuff. More into 90‘s / mid 2000‘s sounds

Prince did use some Linn machines, yes. A lot of classic funk was before the drum machine era and was done on acoustic kits, and funk made these days can use just about anything, but Prince was a big Linn user, LM-1 specifically I think.

90s house music, DR-909 is the drum machine to go with. Less processed than modern drum machine samples, you can look into Wave Alchemy and Goldbaby's more retro 909 offerings.

besides the lInn, 80s funk was a lot of Simmons and Yamaha RX5...see Cameo and Mtume
Chicago OG house was mostly 909...see Frankie Knuckles
Music had a one night stand with sound design.....And the condom broke

Not drum machines, but you might be interested - https://impactsoundworks.com/product/groove-bias/

For '90s/mid-2000s House, any good 909 emulation should do. Drumazon is quite popular - https://d16.pl/drumazon2

Microtonic is a very popular drum synth - https://soniccharge.com/microtonic
