Description

BPB Cassette Drums is a sample-based virtual drum machine plugin developed by Bedroom Producers Blog.

It features the iconic sounds of legendary drum machines such as the Roland TR-808, TR-909, TR-606, and the MFB-522 Drum Computer.

The plugin combines all these drum kits into a single unit, offering a wide collection of drum sounds.

The samples were carefully recorded and resampled from vintage tape decks, including an old SABA tape deck and the TASCAM 244 Portastudio 4-Track Cassette Recorder.

This process adds a unique tape distortion and warmth to the sounds, making them ideal for lo-fi beats and layering over clean drums.

BPB Cassette Drums includes thirteen drum kits, each with different levels of processing, from clean to heavily distorted.

The user interface provides direct control over each drum channel, allowing for full customization of each kit.

The plugin also features built-in effects such as distortion, reverb, delay, and vinyl, enhancing the versatility of the drum sounds.

Each drum channel can be routed to a different output in your DAW for additional processing, offering flexibility in mixing and sound design.

The plugin was created in collaboration with SampleScience, ensuring a high-quality and reliable engine.

BPB Cassette Drums is compatible with VST, VST3, and AU plugin hosts on both Windows and macOS.

Tips

  • Experiment with different levels of tape distortion to achieve the desired lo-fi effect.
  • Use the built-in effects to add depth and character to your drum sounds.
  • Route individual drum channels to separate outputs in your DAW for more precise mixing and processing.
  • Layer the tape-processed drum sounds with clean drums to create a unique texture.
  • Utilize the adjustable parameters (volume, pan, decay, pitch) to fine-tune each drum hit to fit your mix.
  • Explore the different drum kits to find the perfect sound for your project, from clean and crisp to warm and distorted.
