Free samples, sample-players, and where to find them

[igorius]

Another free sample player that doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet: Zampler//RX
It's usually used with Zampler expansions but it can also load sfz files.

By the way, for those of you who've also bought SoundWare's Octane and get frustrated because it keeps crashing: The installer creates a "sounds" folder which contains sfz files and samples, so you can use those sounds with any sfz-compatible player.
But you have to use a wv to wav converter to convert the samples to the right format and right file extension. I used https://www.skyshape.com/lossless_audio_converter.html which has a fully functional 14-day trial version.
Of course the sfz files won't contain the layering and settings (envelopes, reverb, etc.) like the Octane presets do, but still, it's a starting point. You get around 1000 playable sounds, if you have Octane Complete.

First off I'm no sample guy or anything, but I just came across this at what looks like a new site starting up, might be useful to some?
Looks like links to free Kontakt samples, and links to other Free sampley things.

hi everyone,

we have a new freebie called SPHERE that we'd like to share with everyone
scroll to the bottom of this page to grab SPHERE ↳ https://www.inletaudio.com/collections/instruments

it's a gritty, textural library designed to blend into hybrid scores, originating for various sound sources.

we wanted to see if we could create a full track with just 4 sounds, where SPHERE was the highlight - here's how it went:

[Inletaudio]

hello again everyone,
