Drum Machines & Samplers Book


Oli Freke follows his 2021 book, Synthesizer Evolution: From Analogue to Digital (and Back), with a series of zines.

Drum machines and samplers have a lot in common, and this magazine pays tribute to the invention of both devices. It features 46 drum machines and samplers from 1949 to 1996, including the Roland TR-808, Roland TR-909, Akai S1000, Fairlight CMI, and Akai MPC60.

The 52 page book is 10,5 cm x 14.8 cm (A6) in size and printed black and white and bound (fastened with a spine).
