Today's free sample collection is made up of percussive sounds generated by analogue synthesizers and drum machines

In the pack, you'll find one-shots and loops produced by old-school analogue machines such as the Vermona DRM1, Tecbug DS8, Selmer Auto-rhythm and Bentley Rhythm Ace. There's also some killer kick samples recorded using our Volca Kick. 

Check out a selection of samples below before downloading. 

What you need to know

The samples are split into five individual folders, each containing further sub-folders of sounds. All the samples are supplied as WAV files so can be imported directly into your DAW or sampler of choice. 

Because they're royalty-free, you're welcome to use the samples in your music in any way you like - all we ask is that you don't re-distribute them. These samples are supplied in a zip file, so you'll need to extract them before you can see them. 

Enjoy!
