The Library

Dark Engine is the perfect source of distorted drums and feedback sounds.

The included drum samples were processed with the Boss OS-2 overdrive pedal, while the feedback sounds were created using the MXR Carbon Copy analog delay pedal.

Here’s how Timur describes the Dark Engine sample collection:

“Dark Engine sounds hard, dirty, and distorted. Firstly, I recorded synthesized and sampled drums through the Boss OS-2 distortion/overdrive pedal. Secondly, I recorded self-oscillated feedback from the MXR Carbon Copy analog delay pedal through an old guitar processor.

It was a lot of fun tweaking the knobs on the delay pedal and hearing that monstrous sound. For the best results, all samples should be used as layers to other drums and sound effects.”

It’s amazing how much a talented sound designer can achieve with just a few pieces of gear.

The included feedback sound effects are very cool, and they can be used as the sound source for all sorts of sci-fi sound effects. They can also work well for bass or lead sounds if you process them inside a sampler.

The drum samples are also fantastic, especially suitable for use in industrial tracks. They have just the right amount of grit to cut through a bass-heavy mix.

I also love the super-heavy distortion on some of the included kick and snare samples.
