HI,
I have just released an update of the AVL-Drumkits (now at 1.1). For
those who are unfamiliar these are free sample libraries of 2 complete
Drumkits and hand percussion in Hydrogen, SFZ and Soundfont2 formats.
These kits are intended to bring an authentic acoustic, organic drum
sound to your MIDI DAW arrangements and preserve real-world
characteristics such as tom ringing and overtones unlike many General
MIDI kits that sound sterile. AVL-Drumkits feature 5 sample layers per
kit piece, have a very light memory footprint and are suitable for
systems old and new. The shell samples provide both center and edge
hits to emulate right and left hands and the cymbals are quite
realistic without truncated samples. Additional resources are
available such as a PDF Keymap and Midnam files to use with MIDI
tracks in Ardour and Mixbus.
Changelog:
* - Now licensed CC-BY-SA [1] with a slightly modified license
(Thanks to Nils Gey)
* - NEWLY ADDED SOUNDFONT2 VERSIONS! (tested with the new 'a-Fluid
Synth' plugin in Ardour 5.4)
* - Cleaned up formatting of SFZ text files with better key number
ordering (didn't affect performance, just my OCD)
* - New Kick drum samples for both kits with fuller sounding closed
resonant heads.
Downloads, more detailed information and Audio and Video demos of the
Kits can all be found at the AVL-Drumkits webpage:
