I mentioned a while back that I was working on a Refill for Propellerheads popular music creation platform Reason. I'm aiming to get about 2GB worth of multisampled instruments for the refill recorded, I've already got about 500mb so I've still got quite a length to go before I can upload it for you lot.
I'm mostly recording sounds from my Korg R3 hardware synthesiser for the refill but throwing in a few patches in from some of my other synths (Microkorg, AG-10, MC-303, FB838, etc).
I've also tried recording some multisamples from a few iPad synths (mainly Animoog) but because I'm using a cheap camera connection kit (eBay, 99p) for midi input the apps keep crashing. I might have to invest in an iRig midi (or something similar). An Alesis iOdock would be ideal but I really cant afford to be splashing out that much at the moment as I've just updated my studio set up to include a brand new set of KRK RP8 studio monitors, a new hard drive and a second screen. So don't hold your breath for iOS synth multisamples in this first Refill, although it is something that I'd like to be doing in the future.
As I do with the samples that I upload here, I'll be giving this Refill away for free. It'll be royalty free and you'll be able to use them free of charge in whatever project you want. However if you like the samples and want to give something back to the site there's a donation button in the right hand side-bar, Voltage-Controlled makes near to no money at all from the ads so any donation from you guys would help the site greatly.
I can assure you that these multisamples are very usable, in fact I've already used them in a few projects of my own. You might have remembered me posting a track on here called Barflair that I wrote for a friends film project. Well that piano sound that I used was taken from the refill that I'm working on. The original sound was taken from the Korg AG-10 sound module which uses ai2 synthesis to create its patches. I've embedded the track below so you can have a listen.
Keep an eye out for future updates,
-Dan.
