Description

Vintage Pads and Textures is a 76-sound collection from Rhythm Lab, sampled directly from eight iconic vintage synthesizers. Source hardware includes the Emu Orbit 2000, Emu Morpheus, Korg MS2000, Korg Z1, Korg 01/W, Roland Juno-106, Roland JX-8P, and Yamaha CS15.

Each sample captures the raw analog and early digital character of these instruments without added effects processing. The result is a set of clean, unprocessed pad recordings that retain the warmth and harmonic complexity of the original hardware.

The pack covers a wide tonal range, from deep sub-bass textures and evolving atmospheric drones to bright chord stabs and shimmering high-frequency pads. Samples are clearly labeled by patch name and MIDI note number, making it straightforward to integrate them into any DAW session or sampler.
