Sampleism

Sampleism is a creative pool of independent developers; a hub for people who produce sample libraries, instruments, loops and audio software. As a community based outlet, free for anybody to use, we attract the more unique and obscure boutique developers who can sell their wares directly on our site. Along with new product announcements and news we hope to make this blog vaguely interesting in the future. Welcome!

Kontakt Player 5 says no library found when I try to load your Sawmonium, please can you assist me . . ?

Hi, sure. Sawmonium is made for the full version of kontakt and it cannot be loaded in the libraries tab. It will only run in demo mode with kontakt player. If you have further questions please email [email protected]

I've never seen an intro animation for a Kontakt library before! At least not one as cool as this! Coming soon to a sample site near you!

[sampleism-blog]

Do you have any general guidelines for submitting a sample library? I'm sat here with a vast modular synth, a 96kHz audio interface and a copy of Kontakt and a lot of free time right now.

Hey. I wish I was in your shoes right now :-) email [email protected]

I absolutely LOVE your BOCS packs! I'm curious as to how you the sounds were engineered. The BOCS packs are incredible. It's amazing to have those textures at our fingertips. These are incredible sounds to compose with - but I'd like to understand what's going on 'under the hood.' Which engineers created these packs? What synths were used? What outboard gear used? Are there any great resources that go into detail so producers can attempt to recreate these tones on their own?

Hey. Glad you like the bocs packs. They have a truly authentic sound, I agree. They were created by Alex from Audiowarp using experimental techniques. As far as I know, he didn't use any exact methods, he just experimented with outboard and tape devices. You'll be pleased to know we are currently working on his next release!

I'm so proud to have been part of the team that helped to bring this vintage drum machine to life.  

The DX from Mars was recorded to tape and faithfully represented for Native Instruments Kontakt.

http://www.sampleism.com/samplesfrommars/dx-from-mars-kontakt

An Old Skool Classic Redefined

The DX was a drum machine produced in 1983, which, along with its big brother, the DMX, was used on many hit records of that era (most notably New Order's "Blue Monday"). In addition to 80s pop, it was widely used on many house / new wave jams 80s Hip Hop, and even the early digital era of reggae.

The DX delivers a huge, acoustic / electronic drum sound akin to the Linndrum, Drumtrax and 707 (but fuller sounding). Thick, punchy, and sits well in any mix.

We multi-sampled it to 1/4" tape through classic preamps, hardware saturation and Apogee conversion, transforming it into a feature rich Kontakt instrument, Ableton 9 drum rack, Maschine Kit and Logic EXS patches.

Kontakt Features

The sound of the Kontakt instrument is insane and the sequencer makes for fun, intuitive programming - I prefer both the sound and sequencing of the Kontakt instrument to the original machine (seriously).

What You Get:

- Extensive real time control of parameters for every drum voice such as: - analog tape pitch, hardware saturation, transient designer, drive, reverb, delay, EQ, parallel compression, and Analog mode

- 32 step 8 track sequencer with 10 real-time switchable patterns, real-time pattern length adjustment, accent, shuffle, and more

- 8 outputs, midi learn, sequence learn, and more

- All samples recorded to tape, processed with 100% analog hardware

- 800x 24bit WAV Samples - Kick, Snare, Toms, Clap, Shaker, HH, & Crash

I just purchased PSI Marimba - great! I do have one question. Can the rolls last longer? I want to hold long chords and the rolled chords only last for about one mea @ mm60. Pedal does not hold the rolled chord. Is there a way to have the rolls last for a longer time?

Hi Peter. Please email me [email protected]

BOCS (Boards Of Canada Synthesis) is a Kontakt sample pack consisting of ten pads inspired by the electronic duo Boards of Canada. It's refreshingly different compared to previous efforts from various sample packs and vst synths. Buy Here: http://www.sampleism.com/audiowarpc/a... These sounds have been created via the methods used by the group themselves. Vintage analog synths, 4-tracks, valve amps even VHS recorders were used to create a sample bank more authentic than anything we've heard before. These sounds have a dirty, dusty, and dream like quality just like that elusive Boards of Canada sound. Weighing in at just under 1 gig you can be guaranteed a truly professional sound to use for your next stunning track. 10 sample banks each fit into two sound modules within the Kontakt GUI which consists of a patch blend option. Drop the volume on module 2 and use these samples as fantastic sounding individual patches. Combine any two of the ten different sample sounds and change settings such as volume, attack, release or perhaps add a high or low pass filter. With this awesome blend functionality you have the ability to create a vast array of new sounds tailored to your individual needs. Then there's the brilliant type of auto filter. You want a long silky filter sweep? you got it. Want to control the amount of oscillating micro tuning? Done. You just want those vintage analog synths moving and panning in some crazy manner whilst you control the oscillation speed in real time? Got it covered! The Audiowarp prerequisite will always be that our samples are unique, top quality and highly usable and that we do all of this at the best price possible for you. BOCS Volume 1 Sample pack comes in WAV format and Kontakt format (5.3.1 or above) It will only run in demo mode in the Free Kontakt Player. The purchased download consists of 1 Kontakt NKI file which is configured to load and control all the samples in the ten WAV folders. The GUI loads the samples in each of the two modules within the individual NKI. These wav files also run independently outside of Kontakt and are open for you to use in other applications.
