AudioThing – SR-88 2

SR-88 is a sample-based plugin emulation of the Sound Master Memory
Rhythm SR-88, a rare analog drum machine from the 80s.
The instrument features 5 classic analog sounds: Kick, Snare, Hi Hat 1, Hi Hat
2, and Cymbal, which can be pitched, panned or mixed independently. You can
