D16 Classic Boxes Bundle

D16 Classic Boxes Bundle

The D16 Classic Boxes Bundle brings together D16 Group's emulations of the 606, 808 and 909 drum machines and the 303 bass synth in one package. These four machines shaped house, techno, electro and hip-hop. Each plugin models the original circuitry in fine detail, so you get the familiar tone and feel along with features the hardware never had.

All four instruments have extended sound controls, built-in effects and a modern, easy-to-use pattern sequencer, and the drum machines can export MIDI to your DAW by drag and drop. They are well suited to classic-sounding programming and to pushing the sounds somewhere new, and the large factory libraries mean you can have a full groove running within minutes.
