Just a quick one this.

I’d been asked this question before and had written an article on it.

If you want to make your own instruments (or even just edit the ones you already have) then check out:

http://exs24samples.com/how-to-load-samples-into-exs24/

An article and a vid – and there’s more out there in the interwebz if you need it.

I’ve updated my bizarro page too, although I’ve still got a few things I want to add here.

I’ve given a quick backstory to each set, but I’m hoping to keep finding or creating more instruments that can fit into the “audio oddities” file.

The page can be found here: Audio Oddities

I love the rhythmicon story in particular – well worth having a read about that damn strange thing!

I’ve just added a page on dubstep samples, which you can find here:

Dubstep exs24 stuff

Alas I couldn’t make my own as I feel like a total grandad when it comes to this style – I wouldn’t even pretend to know what would sound good for it!

So I’ve linked up to some other samples  as well as a couple of resources for anyone interested in this kind of music.

You young people and your funny music!!

This is not an Earth-shattering addition, just a small but useful Ethnic Percussion kit.

I’ll be honest and tell you that I can’t name the instruments featured, or the countries they originate from, but just that it’s assorted percussion sounds that are useful to have kicking about!

Enjoy…And check out the other drum samples available here too on my DRUM SAMPLES PAGE!

They are back!

These legendary machines need no introduction. Obviously we’re just talking about samples from them, but some lucky folks actually have these beasts sitting in their studios. Would be nice, eh?

Download the 505 exs24 samples

Download the 606 exs24 samples

Download the 808 samples  - it’s basically impossible to live without an 808 kit for Logic

Download the 909 samples

There. You. Go!  Job done!

The rest of the blog is pretty tasty too, well worth a read!

Those of you who have visited one of the incarnations of this site before will know that it’s shape-shifted through various forms over the years – finally this is a permanent home for these samples.

My collection of exs24 sample instruments will be staying here for the foreseeable future!

Please let me know if you have any questions, suggestions, any of those things! I’d love to hear from you and hope you make the most out of the samples that are here.

I have begun re-uploading all these old favourites, I hope you find my new organisational method easier too:

Toy Samples

Piano Samples

Mellotron Samples

More to follow as soon as I can!   Thanks for staying with me!
