Recently I have been toying with some samples to create strange loops that have a mechanical and machine like feel. I made various sets with it and no two sets are exactly alike. Below is a mp3 made with the Wusikstation version that will be included in the WSM 04 issue:
Machines demo 1

Link to download the demo of the soundfont version: HERE

Some of the wave files: HERE

sfz variations: HERE

Another take on it in discoDSP HighLife sampler format:
HERE

I had a lot of fun making these. I hope that you will enjoy them.

Comments and question are welcome!

Ohhhhh...so the Zvon_MachinesM42_2.sf2 which was free for everyone who bought one of your 2 other
soundfonts for the M42, the Julie M42 and the Horn for M42,
really was (to quote from the read-me) "Temporary (or beta) Machines soundfont for the AlgoMusic M42"...

Zvon gives lots of good stuff away...

These are really weird and intriguing..

Can these be used commercially, for free?.. I'd love to have them up on Sample Torrents (see sig)... You'll get promotion, and although there's not many samples in that demo of the .WAV file it would be still very cool.

Thanks as I gather that you're saying this in a good way

Here's what the readme says: These samples are free and can be used royalty-free in any piece of music. The only restriction is that you are not allowed to sell or distribute in any way the samples themselves, even in modified form, without our authorization.

I sent you a PM about this.

Hi zvon, just listened to the samples, great unusual percussive sounds, thanks!

very interesting samples here. my only constructive critique would be the Complex-Hit has a large amount of hiss at the end. Is that from the room it was recorded in, or is it part of the sound source?

I love the sound of these.

Zvon, your next step needs to be converting them to Rex 2 format (Recycle) for use in Stylus RMX!!!

True, all the automatons samples are taken from Maxime's music CD (see readme for details) and the tracks are very busy. In fact, there were a lot of other interesting sounds and loops that I did not use because there was some other sound (including the Prepared Rhodes) fading in or out in the background.
