Hello fellow Composers,

It would be awesome if someone could share this!



INFO:
Enter the ‘Bandmaster Powerhouse’, designed to accompany the solo performer- but instead of lifeless electronic loops it provided the sound of a (tireless) live drummer, playing in the popular cheesy styles of the time. Genius!

It’s a clear descendent of the ‘tron’ family of instruments, most closely the Chamberlin Rhythmate, in that it plays back tape loops. In the Powerhouse’s case, these loops come on 8-Track cartridges. They’re nice and long; 1 to 2 minutes. It shipped with 8 tapes, each one containing 8 (mono) loops, which you can select between by using the different buttons on the front panel of the unit.

Check out one of the rhythms 'Funky Beat' for example:

It being the ‘70s, the Powerhouse loops were recorded dry, crunchy and, due to the tape, have a smattering of hiss. The sounds are useable in all kinds of modern music production. Hip-Hop obviously, but also Soul and production music, where you might need to recreate anything from the sound of an old jazz song to retro latin/exotica styles.

The loops are presented in their full duration in 16-bit/44.1kHz WAV format. Recorded from two professionally-restored machines and two full sets of tapes, to have the best 'quality' to choose from.
