What you need to know
The samples are supplied in a single folder, so just dive in and explore them.
All the samples are supplied as 24-bit 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.
The drum 'n' bass pad samples are supplied in a zip file, so you'll need to extract them before you can see them. Enjoy!
