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!

Alesis S4 for Kontakt select Instr2

The last few days, i sampled some more patches from my Alesis S4 Quadrasynth.
Some of them are edited by me to my personal taste, and made some KONTAK 5 instruments out of them.

In my opinion, these instruments are playable, and i already used them in some personal tracks i made.

The patches i made are :

1)   FatAnaLead program 17 :  
This is supposed to be played like a lead synth sound, but can be used also as a bass. I like it because it is sooo phat !    😘

2)   Fizz Bace_v127 :
This is very very Funky super-dirty bass !! During sampling i used only 1 layer (Velocity 127) and tuned the various velocities in Kontakt. It is a bass after all, and should be played LOUD !!!
Hope you like it. 😉

3)   Player Pno program 41 :
Just a nice detuned (probably honky-tonk???) piano sound.. 😎

4)  Rezobass :
Kool resonant bass. The resonance effect is what i like best!
I tuned the pitch-bend for a full 12 notes (one octave) , for some WOW sweeps !! 😋


You may download them for FREE and use them for your own pleasure !!
