A primitive sounding percussion for NI Kontakt – Free

The log drum, also called Slit Drum, is an idiophone usually carved in wood or constructed in a resonant wooden box. On the surface there are some woodden tongues that can be struct to play a simple melody. Our instrument is a “vintage” version of the most common log drum in commerce. It was used for years before we could get our hands on it. Some toungues were not perfectly in tune, and there was a small crack on a tongue that made he instrument to “sizzle” on strong beats.

But… we felt its sound lovely and authentic and we hope you will enjoy its sound too.

Everybody who thought the classic „buab“ by Tower of Power´s baritonesax sounds deep should listen now to these loops. That´s really new: so soulful and melodic, almost a half octave lower are these new Bass Sax loops, played in a contemporary groovestyle. Played by Multisaxman David Milzow on an extraordinary HighClass- Instrument of the Keilwerth company, these samples show the really new possibilities of this “beast”, think of “Barry White goes Sax”.

This week we have another FREE Kit for your tweaking pleasure, and its called DarkBerg.

We have 2 very nice hi-hats/maracas/noisythings that can be tweaked in very creative ways. There is also a really “realistic” snare , kind of a jazzy snare, but with all the possibilities of it being synthetic. The cymbal is really cool too , a spacy vocal type of splash that will fit perfectly in your next techno track.

The sound pack is a free “Pay With A Social Post” download.

Audio Geek Zine releases Pink Piano

The Pink Piano is made from a First Act brand “Grand Piano” I found at a thrift store. It’s made of cheap wood and the sound is created by the clacky plastic keys hitting some metal tines inside. It sounds broken. My kid loves it and like all musical toys I buy, I planned to meticulously sample it.

The recording was done at 24-bit; 96kHz using a pair of small diaphragm cardioid condensers and an omni condenser in the center. Each note was recorded at 3 velocities. Noise reduction was applied, the three mics were mixed, then each note was cut with the perfect start time, length and each set of velocities was set to specific peak levels. Finally the files were mapped across the keys in KONTAKT. This was all incredibly time consuming.

Includes

  • 1 KONTAKT instrument consisting of 103 stereo wav files.
  • Format: 24-bit, 44.1kHz (converted from 96kHz source)
  • Each key of the toy piano sampled at 3 velocities.
  • Extra samples of smacking the soundboard, dropping it and other noises.

The sample pack is a free download.
