Free Samples via Zero Divide

http://audio-kinetic.iswiz.com/stuff/korger1.zip
Made these just before I sold my Korg ER-1. They aren't properly cut up, unfortunately, but it isn't like it isn't hard to slice them down to size. This is just a bunch of sounds I synthesized to try to cover all of the possibilities that this machine had to offer.

Did these up last night using the MFB Kraftzwerg to synthesize drums and such from scratch. I did cut out the silences on these and normalized, however it should be noted that on a couple of these I ran the input on the MPC just a teensy bit too hot, so a couple of the samples distort a tiny bit (though it's actually a nice effect on the kicks.)

MFB 522. There's not much here as I was sampling these so that I could experiment with different processing methods, but this is a nice little simple drum kit here.

These are all of the drum sounds from the Roland MC-09. There's a few repeats in here because the kits are made up from a small pool of samples and I was just flying through getting all of the kits sampled. I don't think I've chopped these up either.

Inspired by Wave Alchemy's collection, here's a small selection of Future Retro XS drums. Not nearly as varied as the Wave Alchemy set, but still a good demonstration for myself as to the capabilities of this unit.

This is all of the preset sounds and a couple of sounds I built of my own for the Jomox MBase01.

Complete collection of all of the drum sounds on the Boss DR-550mkii. (A lot of the sample sets floating around on the interwebs don't have all of the sounds in them.)

And this is just a quick little goof-off thing with my Dot Com system doing a couple of basic drum sounds.

Update via Zero Divide:

here's another MFB 522 bank:

http://audio-kinetic.iswiz.com/stuff/mfb522.zip
The difference between this bank and the last bank is that for this one, I went through and sampled every sound with the knobs at five different positions. Obviously due to the nature of analog, this doesn't cover ever single possible sound that the 522 can do, but it still covers a lot of territory. I didn't go through and trim it up because doing it manually would have taken way more time than what I was willing to give to something I would end up giving away for free, and doing it with like Wave Trim or the like seems to cut off the tails in a lot of cases.

http://audio-kinetic.iswiz.com/stuff/schlagzwerg.zip
Initially with this one, I was setting out to do like I did with the 522 and try to get nearly every possible sound out of it. Since it shares the same hats/cymbal circuit as the 522, that means that I only have to get the kick, tom, and snare section. Trouble is that the Schlagzwerg has a much greater range than what the 522 has, so I'd have to sample all of the knobs at seven positions instead of just five in order to cover it all. Three hours and 550-ish samples later, I stopped and did the math and realized that for seven positions of every knob and five knobs for the kick, I'd need over 16,000 samples just to cover all that the kick can do. Lesson learned: Plan ahead! So, I deleted all of those samples and just made a smaller collection highlighting what is possible with the Schlagzwerg. The 'FX' bank is what the Schlagzwerg is capable of when you get crazy with the patch cables."
