Today I launched the AGZFX Sample store and released the first HD sample library in the AGZFX series. Many more sets are in the works.
AGZFX01: Springs
HD Quality Spring hits, scrapes, squeals, drones and rattles from two unique spring sources. The first is an old rusty spring of unknown origin with a very dark tone that squeals when you rub it wrong. The other is a vintage Accutronics Spring Reverb tank with a much looser spring and very bright tone. The reverb tank was recorded separately in both mono and stereo. Slow them down, add a touch of reverb and delay, and you’ve got instant horror suspense. The samples in this pack were recorded at 24 bit, 96kHz with plenty of headroom and are edited but otherwise unprocessed.
A few days ago I came across the Pro Tone website and their freebie section. There are 7 royalty free sample packs for Kontakt that you should find helpful for electronic music creation.
I recently found some free sample packs from PureMagnetic. The PakBytes packs are free previews of the larger MicroPak collections. All electronic based sounds sampled from interesting vintage, analog and circuit bent gear. Might come in handy.
PakBytes are completely free. Free Access only requires a valid email address by registering here.
If you already have a Puremagnetik subscription, then simply login and download.
So far there are 9 free sample based instrument patches.
This week Tonehammer, makers of some incredible sample libraries released a free Kontakt library of sounds made from bees. Check out the video to get an idea of what you can do with the sound of bees.

This week I’d like to draw your attention to Audio Genetics Lab. They have a couple of free KONTAKT Libraries out now, the Tongue Drum, and the new Magnus Chord Organ. These two instruments on their own have limited use, but the engineers at Audio Genetics Lab don’t just accurately sample, they create new mutations using the incredibly powerful KONTAKT engine. Check out the samples to hear what I mean.
