Straight Ahead! Free Jazz Drums

Straight Ahead! Free Jazz Drums virtual instrument is a free drums sound bank for Kontakt, by Straight Ahead Samples.

Straight Ahead! Free Jazz Drums is a fun freebie featuring some incredible playing by free jazz drummer extraordinaire, Scott Clark (performed and/or recorded with Scott Clark 4tet, SCUO, Glows In the Dark, Jeb Bishop, Jason Ajemian, Darius Jones, Josh Berman, Jason Stein).

“He has this really interesting way of swinging…it sometimes morphs into rock-ish straight eighths or fractures into free improv freakouts. But it always feels totally in control; I sense that his ride cymbal will never let you down. It feels personal to him, and I like that.”– NPR, a blog Supreme

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.

Spectral Growl Wavetables for Xfer Serum

Spectral Growl Wavetables for Xfer Serum virtual instrument is a free sound bank for Serum, by ARTFX STUDIOS.

Thanks to Steve Duda and Xfer Records for creating this insane new softsynth called ‘Serum’. This pack is just a little gift from me, 15 free and customizable wavetables for this softsynth. The wavetables are aimed at making twisting bass and growl patches, so be careful since things can get quite nasty.

To use these wavetables you need to find your ‘Serum Presets’ folder where all your presets are stored. In this folder find the folder ‘Tables’ and then go to ‘User’, past the .WAV files in that folder and the next time you launch Serum you can select these wavetables in the main oscillators.

Have fun producing. Oh and if you make something with these feel free to send me it, I’m always interested in hearing these end results.

Soundor

Soundor virtual instrument is a free sound bank for Max, by Percussa.

Soundor is a free and open source FM Synthesizer for Max for Live, the visual programming environment in Ableton Live based on Cycling 74’s Max/MSP. Soundor is available as a free download from the Percussa website, and allows users to explore FM Synthesis using hand and finger gestures, through AudioCubes’ high speed and low latency sensors, requiring no MIDI mapping or programming.

Soundor features 4 oscillators each with their own waveform mixers, allowing the user to mix sine, square, sawtooth, triangle and noise waveforms to create totally new kinds of waveforms. Each oscillator section also features a state variable filter (SVF), and can modulate any other oscillator in pitch and/or amplitude. Each oscillator’s output can also be sent via its own ADSR to a master out, for lots of sound possibilities. Oscillators can overdrive each other through the built in waveform mixer, and can be controlled through the MIDI Keyboard as well as manual settings.

Soundor integrates seamlessly with AudioCubes: rather than having to MIDI map the AudioCubes onto parameters in Soundor, the moment an AudioCube is plugged in, it is automatically connected to any of the waveform mixer parameters and filter sections, through an easy to use connection matrix in the synthesizer. The 4 high speed low latency sensors of AudioCubes can control multiple parameters simultaneously and can even be inverted. A pedal input allows the user to keep the sensors values in place, while the hands are near the sensor, allowing exploration of the parameter space of the FM synthesizer while at the same time allowing rigid locking of parameters to keep the sound steady once an interesting combination of parameters has been found. Soundor supports the well known preset system of Ableton Live and Max4Live, so presets can be saved and recalled just as for other Max4Live devices.

Soundor is free and open source (creative commons, non-commercial, attribution, share-alike). Percussa encourages users to download the synthesizer and to come up with their own versions and modifications.

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!
