Free samples from Voltage-Controlled

Hope everyone out there had a good Christmas and got all the music gear that you've been hoping for. I've put together an extra present for you, I've gone through my hard drive and collected all the samples that Haven't yet made it onto the site. There's lots of synth sounds in this one.

I've added tempo and key information to some of the files (where appropriate) so you should be able to easily fit them into your projects.

As always the samples are available free of charge but a quick donation to the site (see PayPal donate box in the right sidebar) wouldn't hurt. All sounds are royalty free so you don't have to worry about copyright.


Merry Christmas, 
Dan.

Free Kong drum kit samples


For this free sample pack I've been messing around with the analog modules from Reason's Kong drum machine. As I said in my last post, I use Kong for all of my drums when producing music.

This free sample pack contains:

  • 4 one shot kicks samples
  • 4 one shot snares samples
  • 4 one shot hi-hats samples
  • 4 one shot percussion samples
  • 6 bonus loops
All the samples were made using the Kong drum machine and further processed with various VSTs in Ableton live.


All the samples that are available here on Voltage-Controlled are available completely free of charge. They are also royalty free, which means that you can use them in any creative protect (commercial or non-commercial) without having to clear them.

What is ReCycle?

I love using .rex files in my music, it's an easy way to take your loops and create something completely different. ReCycle is a stand alone program by Propellerheads that lets you take your audio loops (say a basic drum loop) and chop them up into different segments that allow you to craft them into something unique that you can use in your productions.

Heres a short video by the folks at Propellerheads; it talks you through ReCycle, Rex loops and how you can use them to add something special to your music. I'd recommend using ReCycle to help make your audio loops a little more manageable and inspirational.

Samples unavailable at the moment

Right then, since megaupload has been shut down some of the samples on my site have been made unavailable. Until I can find a suitable replacement site to host my samples they will be temporarily unavailable to download. I'll try and fix this as soon as possible and apoligise for any inconvenience that this has caused.

I know megaupload has been used by some to upload pirated material but some of us actually use it to host our own material. If anyone can suggest another free file hosting site that I can use to host my samples and loops please post a comment below or email me at DanWeatherall@voltage-controlled.com

Voltage controlled sample collection vol.1


If you didn't know, Voltage-Controlled offers a selection of royalty free samples and loops. Every now and then I'll upload a new sample pack to the site, the samples are completely free to download and you can use them in your own productions or music without having to worry about copyright or anything like that.

A few weeks ago my external hard drive decided that it was going to die on me, this resulted in me losing backups of older sample packs and music. So to make sure that this wouldn't happen again I've gone through the site and re-downloaded the samples.

While I was re-building my backup folder I thought it would be a cool idea to upload the whole thing to the site and give you lot the option to download all of the Voltage Controlled samples at once. So that's exactly what I did, I compressed the samples down into two .RAR files and uploaded them.

You can download the Voltage-Controlled sample collection Vol.1 (Part1) here (.RAR)

You can download the Voltage-Controlled sample collection Vol.1 (Part2) here (.RAR)

There's more than 1GB of samples in this collection including, drum loops, one shots, synth hits, synth waveforms, found sound and much more.

As always the samples in this folder are completely free to download and they're also royalty free.

News and stuff. =]

The first piece of news that I have for you is that I’ve moved the main Samples and loops link page from Tumblr to this Blogger page. It makes more sense that I list them on here considering that all the samples and loops are all hosted here.

If someone is linked to a sample pack from another blog or forum then they might not know about the rest of the sample packs. The link will help to point them in the right direction of more free stuff.

You’ll find a tab to your right that reads ‘Free Samples and Loops’. Click the link and it will take you to a separate page on blogger that has a complete list of previous sample packs that I’ve released on this blog.

I’ll still be updating the Tumblr list along with the new one on Blogger, mainly because I know of quite a lot of sites and forums are currently linking to that list. However, I’ll not be linking to the Tumblr sample page from Twitter any more, I’ll link to the new Blogger one.


Also I’d like to inform you all that I’ve started work on the third SKatterBrain album so I might be looking for remixers in the near future. Keep checking back for updates on this.

-Thanks, Dan.
