Free Sound Banks & Virtual Instruments for Kontakt

Squeaky Chair

Squeaky Chair virtual instrument is a free sound bank for Halion and Kontakt and Exs24 and Garage Band, by Tangent Edge Instruments.

Halloween 2016 freebie: the Squeaky Chair.

The Squeaky Chair is a rare musical instrument and that’s a good thing. It’s really hard to play and it never sounds good, although my student Gabriel Calis did a great job performing for this sample library.

This particular Squeaky Chair is a rotating stool type and the screw thread hasn’t been greased in its whole life. It only has one pitch, the highest A in the virtual version. I mapped it over 5 octaves.

It’s definitely one of the most ugly sounds you will have in your computer and it’s unpredictable like the real thing. I hope you find some use for it.

It works in Kontakt 4 or higher, GarageBand, Logic and free SFZ players like Sforzando.

Soprano Jug Drum

Soprano Jug Drum virtual instrument is a free percussions and water jug sound bank for Kontakt, by Embertone.

What happens when you lock two sound designers in a space with 5 water jugs, 5 microphones, a laptop and an audio interface? Pure #$!@ing magic, that’s what! With oodles of round robins, 4 different playing styles, and a dynamic range equipped to shake things up, you’re going to love this instrument… It’s a new angle on the concept of “epic drumming”

The 4 playing styles are mapped out equally over 4 octaves. From highest to lowest they are: 1) Hand (muted) 2) Hand (ring out) 3) Timpani Mallet 4) Stick. This instrument is sooo much fun, we suggest trying it out with an arpeggiator!

The FREE version of Jug Drums is just the highest drum, the soprano, with full velocity/round robins, but without mic position mixing control. It’s a LOT of fun to play with!
