S612 From Mars

Acoustic Instruments Transformed into 12bit Synths & Drums

We set out to sample a bunch of acoustic instruments and transform them into 612 synths. We plugged all sorts of instruments directly into our API console - electric bass, standup bass, a broken Rhodes, vocals, guitar, and Clavinet - and jammed, tracking ideas to tape and digitally.

We also sampled rare African percussion, vocals, obscure records from 70's Catalonia, and of course, a bunch of analog synths (Polysix, Juno60, Voyager, Octave Cat, CS-5). This allowed us to create lo-fi leads and FX, but also really useable fat, analog synth patches.
