Until they fix it, or not… http://www.electrongate.com/dmxfiles/eproms.html
They are WAV extracted from the EPROMs so they might sound ‘too clean’, but it’s better than nothing.

I had no issues with this pack regarding malware or viruses. I’ve had it on my hard drive for over a year and it has been scanned for sure.
I did find a different type of problem with Oberheim DX pack. I had some silent samples with no data. I reported it to developer, but after one month they did not fix it. I’m still waiting and checking occasionally.

Can anyone confirm whether these packs have any viruses or malware? I heard on some other forms that they were infected with viruses? Not sure.

In reply to Kenzo Cervoni. Besides, I thought you weren't supposed to make noise in a Library... -_-;

In reply to Kenzo Cervoni. I just went over the license agreement for a few of the machines, and it expressly says that you CAN use the samples in library music. Not sure where you got this info. From the TR-707 pack: "The licensee MAY modify the sounds and MAY use the material for commercial purposes as part of a musical composition with other sounds. To clarify a musical composition may also include synchronised film and video scores , multimedia productions and music or sound design created for the gaming industry. The Licensee MAY use this product in the creation of so called Library Music."

Mmm, can you point out the licenses where it clearly states you cannot use them for Library Music, I couldn’t find one. The ones I checked actually do permit such use.
They only forbid reselling the samples in isolation (which is fine) but also as loops, which is kinda a composition in many respects… But not the biggest problem, I suppose. Just put a pad over it all and make it long enough to be called muzak? :-P

Not sure why this post mentions limited time offer. This Drum Machines collection has been free for a year. I got it in August 2019. I visited Reverb website from time to time and these sample packs were still offered with no charge.

In reply to Kenzo Cervoni. If you're sure you're never going to make music fo a music library in your life, you should still get them. But I don't want to make that mistake, or have to remember it in the back of my mind. (Always make sure your samples are royalty free!)

Reverb’s samples are not royalty free for use in Library music. For this reason, I’m unfortunately not getting them because it’s not worth the legal troubles.

In reply to Garmen. First it was difficult but then I had it work. Right clicking the file and then 7-zip and extract files was the wrong way. It looked fine but if you copied the files they didn't go elsewhere. I find the right way was: Right click > 7-zip > open archive > zip. Then comes a window. Choose file and then click extract. Then you open the same way all those zipped drum machines one by one.

In reply to Sam Day. The folder is not empty. On Windows you have to use 7zip to extract the files. On the Reverb.com website they explain it and also a user comments on it in the section at the bottom of the page.
