The list of instruments ranges from rare, collectible, and even one-of-a-kind
pieces to cheap knock-offs and banged-up stuff found in junkyards. Instruments
weren’t included just because they were rare or expensive. Instead, they were
chosen because they sounded cool, and had a unique character: a “vibe” that’s
often absent from the “meticulously recorded, “pristine” sampled instruments
of today.
The drum sets in VINTAGE VI are live and open: snares crack and ring and
toms thunder, untamed by gates or compressors. Keyboards were sampled clean
and through old amps, yielding sounds ranging from “classic” to “borderline
psychotic” (see the Filthy Wurlitzer patch). Basses and guitars were set-up to
replicate a variety of retro sounds and styles from many musical genres. And
for good measure, we even included a psychedelic staple of the late 1960’s,
the electric sitar.
