Cyclick Samples - Analogue Circuits Volume 1 [24Bit WAV] -Sin

Everything has passed through at least two serial analogue circuits before re-entering the
digital realm, he says, pushing his way to the kitchen through a low-hanging soldering-iron
chandelier. The result is a collection of rhythm and instrument loops as well as 12 folders of
drum kit hits (six kits piped through two different analogue processes).

We created five analogue chains using gear such as the GSSL compressor, a Moogerfooger
RingMod, an Electro-Harmonix PolyPhase and a Focusrite ISA828. The equipment in the chains
was pushed to bring each into distortion, and we set up our JDK R24 EQ with nearly matching
cuts and boosts at both low and high ends, leading to large phase shifts for some
interesting tonality.

After setting the five chains up as external plugins in Nuendo, strapped across group
bus channels, we sent the musical material through them, piping guitar riffs, basslines,
keyboard and percussion loops in, and getting them out imbued with each chain’s unique
analogue whiff.

Each loop reacted differently to the five processing chains, and we’ve chosen the best
two for each, marking them as ‘A’ and ‘B’ in the file names.
