I made a little freebie made from some old crusty and grainy samples from an Evolution EVS-1, Korg DSS1(lo-fi sampler)and some samples from a Waldorf Streichfett. Works with Kontakt 5.6.5

Don't get too excited as they are old samples that were headed for the delete bin, but I thought I would make a free instrument from them, instead - You might be able to use them.

Comes with some presets included such as pads, strings, synths, weirdness and my favorite is the evs-1 Boards of Canada type fm tone. It also has the drum samples that are inside the EVS-1 - I'm not sure what drum machines evolution sampled when they made the EVS-1, but they sound a bit 80's sample based drum machine.

Thanks a lot for sharing Steve

Almost 50 patches with the multis, that is rich for a freebie

Going through them now, immediate favourites are DM Choir, Gotham, Slow Strings

Demo sounds great. Thanks for the Freebie.

no worries

I will probably sample some more of the evs-1 when it decides to start working again. It works ok for a while and then makes these weird digital clicks with some of the sounds(unless they are all like this and it is just how the synth is, it is a weird synth).

DM Choir is quite a nice grainy choir, the Korg DSS-1 is very lo-fi and makes things a bit grainy.

Made a quick demo track.

For those who may be interested in the drum sounds - Drums are from Sample Science Dusty Eclectic Goldmine and the vocals are from The Abominable Dr. Phibes (i'm obsessed with that film ha ha) the vocals were sampled into a Bastl Microgranny sampler(a little lo-fi sampler).

NO Sir,

this is definitely no "little freebie"

For me this stands in line with the selled audiowarp stuff

The multis are absolutely great with real sound character, love it. And a well designed surface, different convolution reverbs too choose, NO, definitely a BIG freebie

Very, very nice. Thank you for your generous donation of these instruments.

Thanks all,
I have converted the samples into sfz format(Using Translator 6 so no vouch for how accurate it all is, it seems fine and seems to have worked well), so you can load them into your sfz sampler of your choice - Obviously you won't have the presets, but at least you can get to use the samples if you want to.

Thanks! I love the sound and the simple controls, I can tell I will be able to use it in my tracks!

That first pad sounds like it could be a preset from the mighty Morphestra! It's just that good!! Must download!

Your generosity will single-handedly destroy capitalism!

How can you be so generous?

Where's the catch? I can't help it I'm suspicious by nature. Or is that "nurture?" Mwa ha ha

No, seriously, you're giving me ideas. Brilliant ideas! All of my ideas are stolen mutilations of formerly good ideas from other, better people!

Damn. I'm completely lit. On "G-Fuel" - good stuff.

I did some work on the DSS1phased samples. They're quite large, so I looped them to make them significantly smaller. Also converted them to 16-bit since there isn't much dynamic range in the samples. Also I noticed the samples were all about 10 cents flat, so I corrected that. Finally, I interpolated some new samples at every 1/2 octave so that each sample transposes no more than 3 semitones. The result is a patch that uses a lot less ram, has a more consistent speed to the phase shift throughout each octave, and sustains indefinitely.

A little freebie Kontakt instrument. (Also, now in SFZ format)
