Granite is a cool drum synth from ConcreteFX.

I'd like to give it to someone who would use it if (s)he could. So I'll run a little competition here.

In short:
Anyone who posts a home made preset bank or sample pack here enters the competition.

In detail:
1) make a preset bank, preferably for affordable plugs OR a sample pack
2) post it here and submit it to the KVR preset banks section or the Auditorium (or somewhere similar)
3) sunday the 18th of june, I will draw the winner. I will try to find a totally transparent way of drawing so there can be no doubt everyone gets a fair chance (right now, I think I'll number the submissions and then use some internet lottery as random number generator to pick the winner)

SUBMISSIONS:

1) Woj' 16 hits and 27 loops:

What you'll find inside is:
- The house loop in REX format.
- The house loop as individual slices (labeled 001-024), along with a corresponding MIDI file. If you map them in your drumsampler of choice, starting with slice 001 at C1 and go up chromatically, then slap the MIDI file into your sequencer, you should get the original loop (which, btw, works best at something between 110-130 BPM).
- A Battery (1) and DR-008 file for the slices, so you don't need to drag them into them yourself.
- A cheesy drumkit in Battery (1) and DR-008 format. Dunno why I added it. Used some sounds of other selfrecorded stuff. Pretty mediocre, but hey, I wanted this pack to be sort of "complete".
- 5 sampler patches in EXS24 and Kontakt (1.5) format:
() "SF_Bassy01": good for basses, also good for some sequences...
() "SF_ESM_Seq": Originally planned as a bass as well, I use that for whatever compings though.
() "SF_HouseBass": A rather simple bass, but I tend to use it quite sometimes.
() "SF_Plucky01": A pluck-ish comping sound that I happen to like.
() "SF_StringPad01": Well, what it says...

A note about those sampler patches: They're not exactly made for any freebie sampler (wanted to map them for SFZ, but uhm, no time to get into SFZed), but, they should be easy to remap into any sampler. All the wavefiles contain proper looppoints (which any sampler should read fine) and proper notenames. So remapping them should really only take a few minutes. Also, apart from a tiny bit of filtering, I didn't do much to them.

Here's the pack:

And here's a very cheesy MP3 with all the sounds more or less following each other (plucky, loop and housebass, bassy, seq, pad and in the end I replaced the loop with the drumset), just a delay added, anything else is the raw sounds:

As a challange to see what I could do, I made a killer PSYNII DXi bank a month ago. I've been sitting on it as I just kind of forgot about it. Would PSYNII count as an "affordable" plug?

I said I preferred presets for cheap plugs - that's not an absolute requirement.

I don't know PSYNII, is it a P5 plug? Can you use it in other hosts? I prefer open standard stuff, but your bank would be admissable, if you weren't going to upload it to the community otherwise. You know, I specifically asked for new banks to be made, so that the community benefits too.

what do you mean a preset bank for a sample bank?? how can you do that?? like, accumulating a lot of hat samples would count??

I never said that.

A preset bank or sample pack.

cool and generous idea, cptgone. :hail:

(b.t.w.: I own Granite already - it's great for lo-fi drums/percussion :-D)

How large does the sample pack have to be? I've created one, its got 16 hits and 27 loops (some are just slight variations), I have no idea how many samples sample packs usual have, is this ok?

At the moment I have nowhere to host the pack, I dont even have anywhere to put a demo mp3 as archive.com is screwing up for me.

Is there any kind soul who could spare a bit of bandwidth, if only for the duration of this thread?

I'll upload the pack to rapidsharing.com ...but its not realy the best of places to put it.

cheers WoJ! chances are, everyone else will be too lazy to do anything, and you've already won ;)

Give it time. ;) Im sure more people will chip in. Great idea having a small comp to get people donating/making samplepacks and presets, i too thought there would have been more people eager.

how about (at least) one full bank? I'm kinda appealing to participants' honesty anyway.

I got a few freebies that I've wanted to make preset banks for. I've started for some of them too. Anybody looking for one of these? If so, I'll make that one:

NEOkILLER X2
PolyIBlit
Vurtbox

I'd make it more focused on basses and leads and less on pads and effects. If theres another freebie you'd like to see a bank for and I end up liking the freebie I might do that one too. So say what you want! :)

good choice, as Surge is almost free...
