RetroDrums One
by Tic Tok MenUploaded on Aug 24, 2015 (and last updated on Dec 23, 2015)
These are samples of old drum machines I've collected over the years. Not all recordings were done in house (but all are free use licenses).
The sample set consists of several drum machines (listed below). Each drum machines sounds are spread out over each octave from C1 to C7. There are, in some cases, sounds from some machines that have been grouped with others. This is because that machine had more then 12 sounds. But, the basic layout is the same on each.
C = Bass Dr...

8-Bit Chip
by Michael PicherUploaded on Sep 29, 2016 (and last updated on Sep 18, 2019)
Introducing Version 2.0!!
SFZ Format
Pulse (3 variants), Triangle, and Noise waves
Simple keyboard layout
"Legato" effect
Vibrato, tremolo, slide (portamento), attack, and release controls
The goal, when designing "8-Bit Chip", was to create something that was friendly to a musician, rather than a programer.
Traditionally, 8-Bit music is created in what can be described as a spreadsheet-like environment, where pitches and effects are coded one at a time. My idea was ...

CT-7000 (Retro Synth) [Free Version]
by Michael PicherUploaded on Mar 20, 2017 (and last updated on Apr 04, 2024)
If you need that musical sound from an 80s rock band or a Homestar Runner cartoon, this sample library could fit the bill! I built this virtual synth from samples, recorded using a vintage keyboard, that just appeared one day. When we were kids, my brother and I spent countless hours playing around with it. I even composed some of my very first melodies of music using this keyboard.

Casio CTK-230 SoundFont
by Dekyo OngenUploaded on Jun 12, 2018 (and last updated on Dec 02, 2020)
This is a SoundFont of my Casio CTK-230.
Months ago I started to make this SoundFont, only the piano presets. But on June 9 I started to continue it, and finally I completed it. I have sampled and also recreated the loop points in each sample, to save space and prevent this SoundFont from being large. There are some presets that I have not recreated because the envelopes that were used for those presets are not possible using the parameters that the SoundFont 2.1 format o...
