Hi everyone,

I just released a new soundfont: Chromatic Hits.
It's a set of resynthesized chromatic percussions with 101 programs (205 MB).
[edit: now also availble in sfz format]

More details and MP3 demos:

Downloadable demo:

It sells for $24.99 US and both formats are included. (on sale for $14.99 until Sep 30th)

Comments and questions are welcome.

Thank you

BTW I have tried it in the free SafFron SoundFont Player from Fretted Synth and it works fine. Also its filter and FXs can really shape the sounds.

The hats rising mp3 link didn't work for me - link seems broken. Regardless, I just bought it. I think you're slightly crazy, which is why I like your work so much.

Now, that was hilarious.

Zvon, I was wondering if it would be possible to purchase this soundset and download it in smaller bits. (I may have been the only one to vote for such in your poll.) There used to be 5 people still on dialup left in America, but one of them died waiting for a page to load. Two others have forgotten they are even able to access the internet. Which leaves me and my imaginary friend. Howard. You'd like him.

Thanks for your support! I hope that you will enjoy this set.
And I fixed the link for Hat Rising mp3, thanks for reporting it.

Hi Bobsled,

Sorry, I missed your first post!
The download is divided in 3 parts, 2 of 36 MB and the third is 26 MB. Are those file sizes manageable for you? I could make a download divided in smaller parts available temporarily. But note that when extracted, it would still be a 200 MB single soundfont.

Thanks, zvon.

zvon on his webpage wrote:Currently available as a soundfont of 205 MB (98 MB download divided in 3 parts).

I wasn't aware that the download was already split into parts. Will be ordering soon. The sum total of 200 MB single soundfont will not be a problem.

Nice work (from the demo

), btw.

Again.

The Chromatic Hits soundfont has been updated. Some programs were not loading correctly in Ableton Sampler and Logic EXS-24. This is now fixed and the download is now in 4 parts instead of 3.

Also note that there's a Summer special on the Chromatic Hits, details here:

Thank you

The Chromatic Hits programs can also sound richer and fuller when layered. I have added MP3s demomstrating this. They can be downloaded on the page or with the links below:
3 Layers 1
3 Layers 2
2 Layers

Also those buying the Chromatic Hits during August can get either a free set (IYTTIW set or Julie Vocal FX vol. 1) or a second set at half-price with their purchase. Details HERE

Your feedback about the demos is welcome!
Thank you

Chromatic Hits!! (sf2 and sfz)
