Samples From Mars 360 From Mars

🎹 360 Systems Keyboard: One of the Earliest Multi-Sampled Synthesizers 🎶

The 360 Systems Keyboard is a rare gem from the early ’80s, hailing from California, and it’s packed with vintage, multi-sampled goodness! This sample-based synthesizer offers an incredible range of sounds, including real strings, flutes, brass, electric pianos, basses, guitars, percussion, and much more, bringing you the authentic warmth and punch of classic synths and samplers. 🔥

Despite its groundbreaking technology, the 360 Systems Keyboard never quite hit commercial success. Only 200 units were ever made, making it a true hidden treasure. Originally designed as a smaller, more portable alternative to the Mellotron, it remained mostly unknown, but now its epic sounds are ready to be rediscovered! ✨

Adding External FX
To take these vintage sounds even further, we’ve added external processing to some of our favorite patches, transforming them into even more inspiring and experimental versions. Here’s what we did:

Re-pitched and panned the strings using an Otari tape machine 🎤
Applied Space Echo and H3000 chorusing for rich, atmospheric effects 🎧
Ran the electric piano patch through a CS5 synthesizer, adding a rich tremolo effect and filtering 🔄
