Samples From Mars – 360 From Mars MULTIFORMAT

最早的多采样合成器之一
360 系统键盘是 80 年代初期在加利福尼亚制造的一种罕见的基于采样的合成器，具有真实的弦乐、长笛、铜管乐器、电钢琴、贝司、吉他、打击乐器等。与我们最喜欢的一些老式鼓机共享类似的组件（EPROM 和模拟滤波器），难怪 360 与我们最喜欢的采样器一样有力，与我们的老式合成器一样柔滑。

那么，为什么我们从未听说过呢？因为，尽管 360 雄心勃勃地希望成为 Mellotron 的更小、更便携的替代品，但它最终未能取得商业成功。只制作了 200 个，因此，它的史诗般的声音基本上没有被使用……直到现在！

添加外部
效果 一旦我们干净地捕捉了所有预设的基础，我们就尝试处理一些我们最喜欢的补丁 – 目标是通过引入外部处理和调制来创建一个鼓舞人心的替代版本。

几乎所有东西都保留在链条复古中，我们伸手去拿我们的 Otari 磁带机来重新调整和平移琴弦，添加 Space Echo 和 H3000 合唱。我们甚至通过值得信赖的 CS5 合成器运行电钢琴音色，这使我们能够过滤并添加一个不错的颤音效果。

One of the Earliest Multi-Sampled Synthesizers
The 360 Systems Keyboard is a rare, sampled-based synth made in California in the early ’80s, featuring real strings, flutes, brass, electric piano, basses, guitars, percussion, and more. Sharing similar components (EPROMs and an analog filter) as some of our favorite vintage drum machines, it’s no wonder the 360 is as punchy as our favorite samplers, and as silky as our vintage synths.

So why then, have we never heard of it? Because, despite its grandiose vision to be a smaller and more portable alternative to the Mellotron, the 360 ultimately missed the mark for commercial success. Only 200 were made, and as a result, its epic sounds have gone largely unused…until now!

Adding External FX
Once we’d covered our bases capturing all of the presets cleanly, we experimented with processing some of our favorite patches – the goal being to create an inspiring, alternate version by introducing external processing and modulation.

Keeping almost everything in the chain vintage, we reached for our Otari tape machine to re-pitch and pan the strings, adding Space Echo and H3000 chorusing. We even ran the electric piano patch through our trusty CS5 synthesizer, which allowed us to filter and add a nice tremolo effect.
