Big City Sample Collection by Yves Big City

The pack has been optimised and curated specifically for the Elektron Digitakt, but the samples are standard audio files that will work in any DAW or sampler you prefer, including Ableton Live, Logic, and hardware samplers.

The collection contains 128 samples sorted into clear categories: 32 kicks, 33 snares and claps, 17 hi-hats, 28 percussions, 7 real instrument samples such as bells, and 11 bass and lead synths.

The drums have been sourced from classic drum machines and then filtered, clipped, and processed to give them a polished, ready-to-use character that sits well in a mix straight away.

The entire collection takes up less than 10 megabytes, making it extremely lightweight and easy to load onto the Digitakt or any other device with limited storage.

The samples are designed to work across a wide variety of genres, so whether you are working on hip-hop, electronic, lo-fi, or club-oriented music, the pack is built to get you started quickly with an instantly rewarding result.

The samples are standard audio files that can be transferred directly to your Digitakt via the Elektron Transfer app, or simply dragged into your DAW or sampler of choice. No additional software is required.

Absolutely. The pack has been kept lightweight and logically categorised, making it straightforward to load and navigate even if you are still getting to grips with the Digitakt workflow.
