Samples From Mars releases "SID From Mars" and "727 From Mars" for Ableton Live, Kontakt, Logic and 24-bit WAV

Samples From Mars has announced the release of SID From Mars and 727 From Mars.

SID From Mars [$29].

Here's what they say: The Sidstation is a three oscillator desktop synthesizer based around the infamous 8-bit SID chip. Back in the day, the SID (Sound Interface Device) produced all of the lovely music and sounds of the Commodore 64, one of the earliest mass-produced home computer and gaming systems of the 1980s.This is no ordinary 8-bit machine, but a full-on synthesizer capable of producing all the waveforms of the C64 and further sculpting them with a 4 part LFO, and multi-mode analog filters. This gives us something much more musical than what you'd imagine is possible with only 8 bits - savage FX, Herbie inspired funk basses, drunken pads and more...

Contents:

• 30 Multi-Sampled SID Instruments For Ableton, Kontakt, Logic & 24-bit WAV.
• Tight 8-bit basses, broken alien technology FX, rude leads, modulating patches.
• Heavenly to hellish pads, razor sharp leads, retro-insanity experimentation and more.
• Extensive multi-sampling, modulation and FX routing on all instruments.
• Hand trimmed and looped.
• Clean and processed recordings with a variety of Class A gear.
• 3.96 GB Unzipped Per Format.

727 From Mars [$29].

Here's what they say: Developed in 1985, the 727 is the latin percussion version of the 707 and is a great add-on to any drum machine or sample collection. Like the other TR series, it has defined various genres of dance music with its instantly nostalgic congas, agogos, bongos, timbales, cabasas, whistles & more. But this is no ordinary 727 - in fact, it's easily the most comprehensive 727 pack in existence, as every drum has been analog - pitched 30 times on a mastering tape machine. A must have for fans of retro drum machine percussion.
