Hey Friends! I'm excited to announce the release of DubMaster Kahn's Riddim Pack! In this video I share my journey of how I got started in producing, and what lead me to create this amazing sample pack of real piano, guitar, and organ. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for your support!

Oh man this was so needed for the entire reggae producer community. Thank you so much, will buy that immediately ❤💛💚

[@DMKahn]

Man, thanks so much drummie!!

[@DVDFRMN]

Fair play to those who like sample sounds and stitching together stuff on a DAW, but what the Reggae 'Producer' community you refer to really needs is cheap Analog tape reel to reel machines and a good supply of tape...

[@DMKahn]

@@DVDFRMN yes, I hear what you’re saying David. The intent of this pack is really a proof of concept. “Can authentic sounds come from samples?” I think I have proven yes. But I think this pack will be helpful for a simple bedding of rhythm, and to complete full songs, more elements will need to be added. I still think it’s a useful tool though, especially to those who don’t have access to a guitar. I think the OP here was just being kind and being encouraging to me.

[@DMKahn]

@@DVDFRMN my true goal is to raise awareness and inspire people to make “good reggae”. But really, anyone making reggae is a win I believe. This pack isn’t the be all end all, I would have had to record every chord in every key and done 10x the articulations… to which at that point you might as well just get into recording real instruments like me lol. So I kept it simple

[@DVDFRMN]

@@DMKahnYes, the OP was being kind and there is a common habit in Reggae of exclaiming "Boom, Fire!!" at everything. Here is my sandwich.... "Yes King! run tings! majestic!!"

[@allen394]

Big up Bro, very amazing and authentic sounds. It's a pity that the sample pack is not available for Kontact "player" but I can but hope. One Love ❤️💛💚

[@DMKahn]

Hey bro, only large corporations can afford the massive cost for a license from Native Instruments to get it available on the “free Kontakt player” trust me I would if it were viable.

[@vancampbell7574]

We need an mpc version aswell

[@DylanPetersEDU]

Awesome pack! It sounds amazing. I have the LEgacy Drums, the One Drop, and the UFO and I'd love to pick this one up as well. How does it sound if it's transposed to other keys?

[@DMKahn]

Wow! thanks for your support Dylan! I haven't tried transposing it, but in my limited experience with it, I think it would maybe work tuning down 1 note (maaaybe 2). I've heard transposing upward creates a less desireable sound. Try it out and let me know how it sounds! I'm hoping this is just the beginning and perhaps a detailed piano virtual instrument is in order! Cheers

[@michaelgrauvogl689]

This sounds great and I would love to use it. Could you please explain/show how this integrates with the Ableton suite (for example, the round robins; a feature I'm not aware of in Ableton)? Really amazing! I'm as happy as you are about the great result.

[@DMKahn]

Hi there, my buddyw who programmed it in Ableton used samplel in Ableton to make it randomly cycle the 4 samples. This is because there is no round robins available in Ableton (but this is close) all the best

[@nanfervexino]

Hey My friend..could you make a video on how to play the Brazilian instrument (Cuija) for reggae music? And if you recommend a good Cuija virtual instrument? Thanks!

[@BMUSIK101]

Blessing brother. Do you offer mix and mastered service?

[@thomlev5217]

amazing could you learn us how to make reggae bass

[@Chillylion]

Great product one question I have is you can only make a tune in the Key of A major or F#m

[@DMKahn]

Correct. It’s 3 instruments, very detailed. To do every key would be an insane amount of work!

[@salthedrummer1]

Do you have the One Drop Reggae drum sample pack plus the DubMaster Kahn's Riddim Pack! together for Black Friday price? I use Logic....? when you play major to minor if it's one note that plays the chord please show how you play both chords major to minor... by the way where are you located? I live in LA and play drums for the group WAR.... great stuff let me know my brother. God bless you.

[@DMKahn]

Send me an email to [e-mail] bro let’s chat

[@kalioaks9318]

Beautiful. Will this work in Reason 12?

[@DMKahn]

It will work in any Daw but you will need to load up a sampler in Reason. It’s not plug and play like in logic Ableton or Kontakt full player

[@chegenjonjo1381]

I love the way they sound,they sound like live instruments. How much do you sell them,if i may ask?

[@DMKahn]

They are on sale for $60 as an introduction price - will be $80 after Christmas 2023. Thanks for your consideration! Link's in the description. All the best and thanks for stopping by

[@chegenjonjo1381]

@@DMKahn Thanks alot and you are very welcome.

[@zedxxx9]

Sounds really great, and I'm so glad you finally got into building Kontakt instruments... but OH NO!!! It looks like you've done this in a recent version of Kontakt. I can't find the specs anywhere on this page or on the order page, but I am assuming from the mapping image that this is either Kontakt 7 or the last version of Kontakt 6. Unfortunately, I am stuck at Kontakt 6.5.3 for now and indefinitely at Kontakt 6.6.1 after I make my next OS upgrade in the coming months. Would love that organ--especially--since I generally like to do more stylistic things with my piano and rhythm guitar licks that I couldn't accomplish with these... but sadly, I'm guessing I can't use any of them for the time being. You should put the minimum Kontakt requirement on your product page, or you may end up with some unhappy customers. Not sure if you also turned those drums into a Kontakt instrument, since the last time I got a sample pack it was not in an instrument form. It would be good if you built the drum instrument as well and added it to the set, and of course the bass when you get that happening. It will make for a nice set that I'd love to be able to use one day. I would also strongly recommend and REQUEST that you also create a proper VI version of the piano and organ instruments that allow users to play lead lines and other rhythmic parts that could only be played by a user playing keys as properly laid out keys. The chords instruments will be very helpful and quite useful... but not having the ability to bang out leads and extra parts will indeed by an absence that will be missed, and some sort of substitutions with another VI will then be necessary. But good stuff you have here. I wish I had a studio with your drum kit, piano, organ and bass amp all miced and ready to go. Those all sound incredible.

[@DMKahn]

It works on Kontakt 6.2.2!! Yes I will update the one drop pack in the near future to work on Kontakt too. I might be able to get it working in Kontakt 5.5 as well. We shall see… but grab the Riddim pack and try it out . you’re good on 6.5.3 bro 🙏 nothing wrong with adding Melodie’s from a different VST. These tones are a wonderful bed for the rhythm section. 🤙🏼

[@zedxxx9]

@@DMKahn-- Fantastic news sir. That means I'm in! I trust I have until the beginning of the month for the intro price since my other Black Friday expenses have limited my spendings until the next paycheque comes in. That's so weird that you have a mapping colour scheme under the hood that I have never seen before. I just assumed it was probably the new look of Kontakt 7. You are right that I can use another VST for my organ lead lines, and I will play real guitar to get my Bingy Bunny style intricacies in the rhythm guitar part, but I would really really love to have a version of that piano in regular keyboard format for adding the more specialized little riffs and stylings that I would like to add with the piano. It's a great sounding piano, so I really urge you to put together a full keyboard instrument. It doesn't have to have more than 2 velocities and 2 round robins. Maybe even no round robins... just a basic keyboard so we can customize the piano track with the exact same piano sound! I'm excited about your organ and rhythm guitar instruments because that's going to make it so easy to lay down the bubble and chunk tracks right from the start and will make it more fun to work on the song. I'm also going to find myself playing certain organ bits that I wouldn't do with a non-chord instrument so it will add to the variety of organ licks on my track, which is cool. Same with the piano. Nice work!

[@zedxxx9]

But I'm thinking a lot about this and I'm concerned about the chords in the key of A thing. This collection seems great for coming up with new rhythms and is certainly worth having for banging out new song ideas... but in my case I have so many existing songs in different keys and many which modulate to another key within the song. I'm looking at the specs and supposing that it **isn't** often going to be so easy to lay down an organ or piano with this pack onto my existing songs without a lot of head scratching and adjusting the tuning in Kontakt, and using multiple instances, etc. This probably isn't a quick fix for me in quickly laying down bubble organ tracks in songs that already exist unless they are very simple progressions. I still want it, but I can't fool myself into thinking this is going to solve more problems than it is going to create in my particular situation. On the other hand, it would help me bang out brand new song ideas very quickly... so I still want to support you and take advantage of what this can offer me in the context of creating new songs. I have to see this as more of a Reggae inspiration kit rather than a Reggae fix-it kit.

[@DMKahn]

@@zedxxx9 this kit isn’t the end all be all, but it’s cool and has real tones. You can definitely use it for the rhythm bed of a song. I believe it’s worth the price and worth getting, especially considering it has 3 instruments. Either way, thanks for your consideration man! All the best

[@zedxxx9]

@@DMKahn-- Definitely not questioning the value. Just talking out loud really. I am in a unique situation where I have a large body of work that I really want to finish and less of a desire to keep spinning off new tunes... but it's always fun (and ultimately compelling) to come up with new songs and this kit is definitely going to be an enjoyable way to come up some of those and very quickly have some presentable results.

[@brendanabatecola4760]

Are there instructions on how to load this into Logic? / settings for EXS24 drag and drop?

[@DMKahn]

You just load up the logic file and the sounds are set up to be triggered from your midi keyboard straightaway. You can then save the EXS/sampler locally and load it up on a new session. I found this the easiest way.

[@PConB]

these sound AMAZING. are there any demos to download to test first?

You can use them in any DAW, but in order to use it with it being programmed like I've done in the video, it's set up for Logic X, Ableton Live 11 Suite, and Kontakt 6.2.2+

HI, nice to meet you Dm Kahn. :) Know that you did a wonderful job with this package of sampled samples coming from your real instruments!! Truly....my biggest compliments!! I also make REGGAE/DUB music and let's say I have been following it for more than 23 years now think.... However, I would like to ask you something about the package....is there the possibility of playing notes?? Or can I just play the rhythm guitar chords like you showed in the video?? Because even for the organ it wouldn't be bad to play some notes as well as make the chords....which aren't bad, of course.... I await your kind feedback, thank you!! ONE LOVE & UNITY ❤💛💚

[@DMKahn]

Hi there, the intent of this pack is to create a foundation of the rhythm section with chords. If you need to add notes you can use another sound for that. If you can imagine; this is 3 instruments all packaged together in one pack. If I were to make a virtual instrument where you could play every note, they would be sold separately. Great question! Thanks for taking the time to spend with me and for supporting what I’m doing here. All the best and God Bless
