The free MPC60 From Mars only contains a small selection of these (909, CR78, and a couple others). We also hooked up the SH101, Arp2600, and even SP-1200 for some hot sampler on sampler action.
A lot of MPC60 libraries run pre-made samples into the 60 - but there is something really special about going *directly out* of an 808, 909, CR78, 606 and 707, straight into it. Naturally, drum machines were the first things to get sampled into this thing - and we gravitated towards classic and oddball sounds. But with the 60, you can actually make an 808 or 909 sound better (well, different) - hardening it, fattening the low end, crunching up the midrange and creating a hard hitting sequence with an amazing shuffle. And while the debate over the best MPC continues, the 60 is undoubtedly the best sounding, with its instantly recognizable and classic color it imparts on everything that passes through it. Usually when you sample something (an analog drum machine, for instance) the samples are less desirable than the drum machine itself.
