Free Sample Friday: Analog Snares

Today's free samples are a set of 20 analog-style snare drums created with various drum synths.  Some are bone dry, some are compressed, some are overdriven, some have reverb, some don't.  A nice grab bag of vintage-style backbeats.  20 WAV samples @ 24-bit/44.1k weighing in around 2.3 MB.

GO GET THEM!

Free Sample Friday: Synthcussion

Hard to believe it's already Friday.  So what better way to ring in the weekend than with some new samples?  Today, I've created 40 different synthetic percussion sounds mostly using Sonic Charge Microtonic processed through various resonators, filters, and reverbs.  There's a little bit of everything here.  40 24-bit stereo WAVs weighing in just under 7MB.

GO GET THEM!
