Took me quite a few minutes to find out how to get to the samples myself. On desktop you need to hover over “Musical Instrument Samples” in the navigation to get a dropdown menu, which lets you choose the recording year/instruments. I’m liking the Found Objects collections in particular.

Christian Henson, who co-founded Spitfire Audio, has a few sets of free sampled pianos here. Each of them consists of the audio samples plus an EXS configuration for Pro Tools, which Ableton also recognizes. Some of them are recorded with felt on the strings, and sound really great. Most of them also have recordings for the sound of the hammers coming off the strings. I really love the collection, having access to good piano sounds gave birth to a lot of musical ideas I wouldn’t have had otherwise. Spitfire Audio also seems to have a lot of high-end orchestral samples which seem pretty amazing (with corresponding price tag).

Check out the “Musical Instrument Samples” menu at the top. The samples are divided into pre-2012 and post-2012, then by instrument etc. For example: http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/MIS-Pitches-2012/MISTenorTrombone2012.html

Okay let’s start doing this!

I’ve started a very rudimentary folder over at Dropbox with a list of all the links that people have provided here and a couple of folders to get us started… I believe anyone can request to join the folder and I’ll accept any that come in. Otherwise send me your email (via DM if you like) and I’ll add you that way.

Feel free to upload your own folders as you see fit and let’s see how this evolves.

I’ll update the ‘• other sources’ document to reflect what people are linking to here as time goes on.

I’m off out tonight (in about 10 minutes!) so don’t have time to upload any files right now but will get on it soon!

edit: hmmm now I’m not sure sure that you can ‘request’ to join the folder, I may have been imagining that? Anyway, someone please let me know if that’s an available option? Messaging your email address might be the best way to join.

This is great! I was aware of Spitfire Audio and the Labs stuff but didn’t know about the separate Pianobook project - really interesting.

I think this would benefit having a thread of it’s own

Metapop.com constantly has remix competitions, in which you get access to the source material… which you may be able to use outside of the competitions (read closer than me, obvs). They tend towards more DJ-oriented music.

https://sounds.com/ used to send me updates all the time about high quality free samples they hosted. I think they are connected to Metapop (?), and I only started receiving sounds emails after the Landr or Metapop sign-up.

Landr’s move into the samples space: https://blog.landr.com/landr-free-sample-packs/

Kinda random sounds here: https://freesound.org/browse/

Better for spoken word samples, and historical recordings: http://www.ubu.com/sound/

Can’t seem to upload to this. Is there a way to link it with edit/write permissions enabled?

Updating this thread title to be more current

I think there was another thread created about the community sample sharing, so this might cause confusion.

Here it is: Llllllll sample pack

I think it would be nice to use a site like freesound.org for all the original sample content – we could simply come up with a tag for the Lines community samples such as “llllllll”, which would allow easy browsing of all Lines-specific samples.

For the drum breaks and other samples lifted off records and such, Dropbox or something similar would of course work fine.

Just a word of caution regarding sampling from other folks songs or recordings…

Be careful! Nothing ruins one’s day like a copyright claim…

Here’s a sample pack of drum kits I made with a DSI Mono Evolver back when I still had one. Feel free to use whatever you like! There’s an FM kit, a glitch kit, some Karplus-Strong hits, and a bunch of shakers and snares. I think I recorded these at 48k but it’s been so long I can’t actually remember. If not then they’re at 44.1.

Hey lines friends,

It has been hard not to feel quite a bit overwhelmed by everything that is going on around the world in regards do COVID-19, the politics here in Brazil, and so on.
I wanted to do something to try to help other people, specially other musicians / artists / producers, get through these delicate times so I figured I’d share some samples and presets that I’ve created for my own personal collection throughout the past decade.

I’ve put together 1000 samples that I’ve recorded from synths and drum machines I’ve had in my collection as well as 100 presets that I’ve created for the Korg Monologue synth.

It’s all available for free at http://spektroaudio.com/blog/2020/3/18/free-sample-pack-amp-monologue-presets

The sample pack includes one-shot samples and loops that I’ve created using the Deckards Dream, Korg Monologue, littleBits SynthKit, Lell UDS 2 (a soviet drum machine), Moog Slim Phatty, Reco Drum (a brazilian drum machine made by Arthur Joly), Roland TR-606 and the Yamaha TQ5.
All the files are properly labeled and organized so you can easily find something that you can use for your creations.

I think there’s a lot of useful stuff there, specially for those looking for material to use in their Octatracks, Digitakts, Norms, and other samplers.

Hope you guys enjoy it and please be safe

PS: I’ve uploaded the sample pack to Dropbox so it’s easier for everybody to download it.

I don’t have access to my full prepared piano samples, so I was looking for a free alternative and I came across the Are you Prepared free prepared piano samples. I thought you might be interested.

I put together another pack of drum samples, this time made with a DSI Pro 2. I was going for dusty, softer sounds for this set but there are also a handful of glitchier bits in there. My favorites of the bunch are the brushed snares, which I’d never really attempted to synthesize before.

These are all 16 bit, 48k mono. I did not normalize them but that should be easy enough to do on your end if you wish.
