The SoundForce Samples is a 4HP 6-channel drum module with 5 interchangeable firmwares that offer soundbanks of the 606, 707, 808, 909 and LinnDrum drum machines.

The 909 version from 2022 features a little slide switch at the back to turn on and off the shoke between the closed and open hihat. The LD and 707 version have 2 banks of sounds for the bottom 3 jacks, the switch at the back allows you to choose between the 2 banks. Please note you cannot choose the sound of each of the 3 bottom jacks, it’s either the tom sounds or the percussion sounds.

The sounds:
The 6 sounds available on separate channels are the one-shot sounds from the infamous 606, 707, 808, 909 or LinnDrum drum machines. It’s using a big STM32F411 chip to drive the 6 DACs and store the sounds. The samples are baked-in and can’t be changed, unless you load another firmware.

Price and availability:
It’s available right now to order at 119 euros on the SoundForce webshop and at my dealers. US customers can order directly from Perfect Circuit Audio.
