Last week, Fred Poirier released DecentSampler versions for 103 instruments on Pianobook. Now you can download them for FREE and use them in your music. More details in the Youtube video:
Check out composer Fred Poirier’s video here.
The easiest way to find the new instruments right now is via this google search.
Decent Sampler is a free plugin for Mac, Windows, and iOS. You can download DecentSampler plugin here.
Have fun!
We’ve just posted a new video that shows how we make sample libraries:
We’re releasing a new FREE Sample Library today: Resonator Glockenspiel! It’s available in Kontakt, SFZ, and DecentSampler formats. If you don’t have the full version of Kontakt, you can download the free DecentSamples Plugin instead. 🙂
In this video, we check out the Kontakt 6 GUI Designer – a tool that comes bundled with Kontakt 6. The GUI Designer allows instrument creators to predefine their UI control layouts in advance so that they don’t need to set them up manually within their instrument scripts.
In this video, we explore how you can use Kontakt 6’s Creator Tools to automatically map samples based on their pitch and volume.
We’ve created a Kontakt template that should be perfect for people trying to build piano instruments in Kontakt. The basic idea behind the template is that it it should allow you to build a piano instrument in Kontakt 5/6 without doing much scripting. Check it out!
Download the template here: https://github.com/dhilowitz/kontakt-piano-template/releases/latest
We’ve made a new Kontakt scripting tutorial in which we show how to work with piano samples. Topics covered: distinct samples for sustain and non-sustain, release triggers, and pedal up/down sounds.
In this video, we explore the power and simplicity of Ableton Live’s built-in Sampler instrument. In the process, we take the Box Violin sample we released two weeks ago and create an Ableton Sampler version of it.
Apple has a new sampling plugin called Sampler; it comes as part of Logic 10.5. In this quick video, Dave Hilowitz gives the new plugin a spin, and uses it to create an EXS version of our Box Violins Sample Library.
Download the EXS version of Box Violins here.
In October 2019, Dave Hilowitz built a Box Violin out of a paintbrush box. Well, we’ve finally gotten around to sampling it, and today we’re releasing the resulting sample library for free.
