VINTAGE HEAT provides a warm and meaty sound character based on samples from vintage analog gear combined with creative, modern recording techniques, perfectly in tune with contemporary, cutting-edge production standards. All samples were lovingly hand crafted by the renowned New Zealand sample guru Goldbaby, and consist of 51 kits including drum and percussion samples as well as multi-sampled melodic synth sounds and dedicated pre-programmed patterns for each kit.

Audio from the choicest vintage synthesizers and drum machines were sent through a chain of pure analog outboard gear before being recorded with state-of-the-art converters into the digital domain. This highly specialized sample creation method results in a rich and phat sound - which, combined with the vast sound-shaping possibilities of MASCHINE 1.6, makes VINTAGE HEAT a surefire way to make your tracks sizzle.

Goldbaby Productions specialize in being purveyors of quality sample based instruments. For VINTAGE HEAT, classic machines such as the Roland TR-808 and EMU SP-12 as well as synths like the Juno-6 and Korg MS-20 were used as sound sources. The audio signal chain consists of well known studio standards such as the UBK Fatso and the Roland Space Echo, as well as collector’s items such as an Ampex valve ½ inch tape machine from the legendary Ekadek studio. Also included are samples drawn direct from vinyl for that ultra-authentic groove. The result is a MASCHINE EXPANSION with tons of mojo - warm and phat sounds that are both instantly contemporary and soaked in vintage attitude.
