Kawai R-50e Drum Machine Sample Library

Add crisp late-80s rhythm character with this authentic Kawai R-50e Sample Library, sourced from the expanded drum machine introduced in 1988.
 
Built on PCM-based digital sample playback synthesis, the R-50e delivers tight kicks, sharp snares, crunchy toms, bright claps, and distinctive percussion with a clean yet edgy personality. The sound is punchy and direct, featuring fast transients, focused mids, and a dry presence that sits confidently in a mix. Subtle digital grain and precise envelopes give patterns clarity and drive without excess coloration. Every hit reflects the R-50e’s straightforward design and solid timing.
 
All samples are carefully edited, mapped, and fully DAW ready for modern workflows. 100% royalty free and faithful to the original hardware, this library provides genuine R-50e authenticity for electronic, pop, synthwave, industrial, and retro-inspired productions seeking crisp digital drums with classic attitude.
