AXXE One-Shots | Vintage Synth Drums
Punchy, all-analogue drums created with one of ARP’s rare gem synths!
Old-School Analogue Punch.
As a minimalist monophonic synthesizer from the 70s, the ARP AXXE is as straightforward as it gets: Single oscillator, one envelope generator, a simple low-pass filter, white noise generator, pwm… However, it still manages to achieve that delightfully gnarly ARP sound that’s so unique to everything this little New England-based synth manufacturer put together. While creating my AXXE library, I quickly ended up creating some intriguing percussive patches and decided to capture them in the moment. The result is this free kit!
This drum kit was created with this classic synthesizer and delivers delightfully retro sounding kicks, snares, hats, and more that will give any synthwave or chip tune track some authentic analogue flair.
Recorded with Rheingold music cables and high-end Antelope Audio converters, these samples are pristine and endlessly tweakable.

About me
Hi there! My name is Chris and I'm a sound designer and audio mixing & mastering engineer based in scenic mountain region of Berkshire County, Massachusetts. While my background has been performing and recording music, it was the process of creating my first ever musical sample pack, Low'n'Slow, that truly made me fall in love with sound design in 2019.
These days, I design and implement sound for video games, have sampled rare synthesizers and drum machines, turned field recordings into contemporary hip hop drum kits, and created loops for fellow producers to use.
I strive to provide uncompromising, meticulously captured high-quality audio assets at an affordable price and help creatives at all stages of their career find the right colors for their sonic palette. My Blog also provides insight into my process, and my gear page highlights what equipment I use to create these libraries.
