Boss DR-660 sample pack
Boss DR-660 is great drum machine from 1992, it is not just a simple rompler, but it’s very good drum synthesizer (based on samples)
Reverb, delay, chorus and flange effects are onboard. 255 16-bit sounds.

and the most important part of this post :)
High quality sample pack of all dr-660 sounds – download here (over 60mb zip archive)
There are long decay sounds at two or three different pitches.
It takes me a lot of work to record, denoise and trim these samples, so please leave thanks in comments :-)
These samples can be used with no restrictions as components of musical compositions either private or commercial. BUT you are not allowed to redistribute, sell or use as application (plugin) component. ASK ME FIRST!

Awesome! Thank you some much, very useful indeed!
Thanks! :smile:
Thank you sooo much! I once owned the 550 and miss a few sounds. Probably some kind of deja vu to come..;-)
thanks man. I really appreciate it!!
maybe you know real dance mania ghetto trax style drum machine i love it
is all the DR660 maybe you will know some sounds

my zip contains all sounds from dr-660 (except two sounds of bass, maybe i will update this archive later)
it looks that dj topcat created this tracks only on dr-660

you probably like this sound similar to cowbell, i think that few sounds were layered with some internal reverb or maybe chorus
try mix pitched down sound 230 with sounds 185,208,211,220 and maybe other
set short decay envelope, add short reverb and little chorus
it will be hard to recreate exactly the same sound
but i think that sounds 230 dominates
keep in mind that dr-660 is not a simple sample player
there are many presets that are generated from internal waves in specific way
for example whenever you set own pitch on the preset, it sounds very different
it does not sound just the same way when you play sample at different pitch
Its very hard to sample all sounds and every sound at different pitch
So experiment with wavs i provided or buy cheap real dr-660
Best regards

sorry my english is not the best i just wanna say thank you. and show you that track if you don´t know it. yes i know its not a sampleplayer i playd it a few years ago but at that time i didn´t like the sound so much. but today i like it very much. but sorry i can´t say it better again thanks alot.
Its very hard to sample all sounds and every sound at different pitch
sure i wouldn´t do that too ;) there are many ways to do it for me to play with that samples.
Wow, this is really one of the only drum machine sample libraries worth collecting. It’s a shame that they don’t really make/sell drum machines like that anymore. Thanks so much for all your hard work and attention to important details.
Lot of time since the last comment… thank you for sharing this! I’m considering to buy a used dr-660 so you sample kit will be really useful to understand the range of sounds! Cheers

I use them in the Volca sample so I trimmed your whole file with wavosaur (it contains a very useful batch processing tool to process many samples at once) http://www.wavosaur.com/
