Samples From Mars releases "Viscount From Mars" - Drum Sample Pack
Samples From Mars has released Viscount From Mars, a drum sample pack. SFM says:
The Viscount R64 is one of the more mysterious drum machines we've ever sampled. There's little to no information about it online, and by some accounts there are less than 10 functional units left in existence (not to be confused with the later and more common model R64S). What we do know is that the R64 was released in 1980 by Viscount, an Italian, family-run manufacturer that began in the 1800s making accordions, and have since made everything from synths to bicycles. Despite having rhythm box patterns, it sounds more like a cross between a Lindrum and a Drumulator. Super funky machine that sounds right at home making Italo disco.
