Autodafe releases free Mega Drum Machines Collection for Kontakt

Autodafe has released the Mega Drum Machines Collection, a free sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt.

This Kontakt library started as a personal project for myself, then evolved into something else.

The library contains samples of about 150 old, vintage, obscure, rare and hard to find drum machines.

The samples have been around since forever, I believe, I simply started to organize them a bit.

What has been done:

- Each kit has been mapped in a General Midi format (more or less, many old drum machines only have 4-5 sounds)
- Each kit has been divided into 5 groups: Kicks, Snares, Hats, Cymbals and Toms
- Each Group has custom controls for tuning, panning and volume
- Each kit has custom graphics

It tooks hours and hours getting the kits ready. The Collection is free but please consider a small donation, 5 dollars suggested.

WOK releases VSMINI free vocoder effect plugin for Windows

WOK has released VSMINI, a free vocoder effect plugin modeled after the Sennheiser VSM201 vocoder.
WOK VSMINI
A Vocoder with 20 bands and the sound of the famous Sennheiser Vocoder (used by Kraftwerk and others).

This is a simplified version with less controls for easier usage. Modulation and carrier signals are fed into it by the left and right channel of the stereo input.

There is also an internal oscillator for use as the carrier with saw and noise waveform and optional MIDI control.

VSMINI is a free download for Windows (32-bit VST).

Bedroom Producers Blog releases Grooove BPB free drum sampler plugin

BedroomProducers Blog has announced the release of Grooove BPB, a freeware drum sampler plugin based on the full version of brunsandspork’s Grooove.
Grooove BPB

Grooove BPB is a virtual drum sampler instrument, based on the excellent Grooove plugin by brunsandspork. This brilliant drum sampler puts an emphasis on playability and expressiveness, making sampled drums sound as dynamic and life-like as possible with easily accessible modulation controls.

This unique drum sampler features dual drum slots (6 in Grooove BPB, 128 in Grooove), each capable of holding two different drum samples simultaneously, with per-sample controls for volume, pan, pitch, sample start and length. Each drum slot also comes with a built-in LFO for modulating the filter cutoff and resonance, volume, pan, mix, pitch, sample delay, fade in/out, and sample start/end times.

All of these parameters can also be modulated via MIDI note velocity, which is the key to how Grooove makes sampled drums sound “alive”. Simply add a bit of velocity modulation to your snare sample’s filter cutoff and it will sound more muffled at lower velocities, just like a real drum!

Grooove BPB features:

Unique ‘dualistic’ Sound Engine allows for setting two velocity-dependent variations per sound.
14 drum kits and 150 drum samples built-in, expandable with external samples.
6 dual drum pads, capable of holding up to 2 samples simultaneously.
11 velocity controlled sound parameters per drum pad.
3 stereo audio outputs including mini mixer.
2 LFOs.

Grooove BPB is available for download for Windows and Mac (32/64-bit, VST/AU/Standalone).

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
