DNR Collaborative Designs has released an update to the ACE soundset, Ace.Animated, which now includes 250 instruments. There are 19 new and derivative patches included, along with more description updates and additional modulation capabilities of the original patches. Existing users can download the update from their user accounts on the DNR website.
DNR Collaborative Designs has also released Mono Destroyers, a free sample-pack of .wav format samples, created from a Bugbrand DIY boutique synthesizer with a few custom modifications. The synthesizer has been outfitted with posts with which you can patch capacitors of varying values and potentiometers in order to have a much more flexible circuit-bending experience.
This sample-pack has been created by recording a very large portion of audio from the synth and splitting up the usable content into "long" and "short" sample categories. The longer portions of audio are great for creating atmospheres and textures, while the short samples are good for creating usable synthesizer sounds. The samples have not been processed in any way whatsoever.
