Experimental sampling

These days that i stay at home due to the coronavirus outbreak, i pass some time experimenting with various samples and trying to make Kontakt instruments out of them, just for practice..

Well, i reviewed again  the excellent http://bigcatinstruments.blogspot.com/  blogsite which has tons of various instruments, and i stumbled upon the OLPC  free soundsamples list .
A large variety of sounds, SFX, foleys, experimental, even some multisamples are there.

So, the following Kontakt instruments were created using sounds i sourced from this site.
Please read the README.txt file in the .rar files which has information about the source of the samples used.
Most of the samples were left alone, but i did some editing on some (sample start, fades, normalizing etc).

Concerning the ANIMAL DRUMKITS, I tried to use roundrobins, where multiple samples were available,  and i also applied different ADSR envelopes for each sample.


You can download these instruments for free (links are below).
Please tell me your opinion and even send me a link of your creation with them, just for my pleasure! 😃
Make your comments if you please, 'cause your opinion is valuable for me, so i can improve my sampling..

Enjoy!
