I’ve put together a few sample packs for people to use in their music (or anything else I guess). I posted these on my own site a while ago but I thought I’d repost them here as well. The packs are based mostly around drums and other percussive noises and stuff.
The drum beat loops are all exports from tracks I never got around to finishing, and I’ve rounded them all to 130bpm for the sake of simplicity. You should be able to tweak them to around 110 - 150bpm without TOO much weird distortion, but obviously sticking to around 120 - 140bpm is gonna be better. Some of the loops were programmed from scratch using single-shot drum sounds, others are based around breakbeat loops which I’ve cut up and modified, etc.
The analogue drum pack is all single-shot drums which you can obviously take and resequence however you like. These were exported from Sonic Charge µTonic drum synthesizer. Some are patches that came with the software, others are patches I created myself from scratch, others are original patches that I’ve modified.
The weird hits and fx pack is a set of samples I created myself one bored day using my microphone. There are some noises made with my mouth, some from tapping pencils and stuff on various surfaces like my desk and a glass, some sounds from a plastic bag being crumpled up, etc, etc. A nice little collection of odd, glitchy noises which would go nicely in some more experimental music.
And now, the files themselves. All sounds are in WAV format, 16-bit 44.1khz, some mono, some stereo. All normalised, cleaned up, trimmed, etc, etc, ready to plug right into whatever you’re working on. I’ve included an 128kbps MP3 preview of each whole pack, and the packs themselves are compressed into ZIP archives.
