My dear friend Olymoon has passed away on 2024.04.02, after desperately fighting cancer for one year.
despite enormous suffering, he has been with us and helping until his last days.

He's been our moderator for the last 10 years, at some point practically replacing me, while i was going through the hardest period in my life.

Drum Depot Motherdrummer (Moog DFAM) Sample Pack WAV [FREE] screenshot
04/04/2024 | WAV | 1 GB
The Motherdrummer - 92 minutes of Moog DFAM stems and patterning

Initially I wanted to create a new drum pack with my Moog DFAM. But honestly, this wasn’t really possible, because the DFAM is just not a regular groovebox or drumsynth. It’s more like a percussive-synth-thingie with huge focus on permanently changing and evolving sounds thanks to its sequencer. So I sampled 40 full sequence stems plus 22 variations from the DFAM, all evolving over several minutes, gave them some love through my modular Tube Distortion Filter and finally some software treatment for finalising. The result features 92 minutes of instant Techno & Electro patterns.

04/04/2024 | OMNiSPHERE 2 BANK | 557 KB
Hybrid Symphonic 2 is an Omnisphere 2 bank consisting of 100 evolving and dynamic long synths.

At the heart of the patches there are two categories of Soundsources, acoustic strings and mellotron sounds. Combining those two categories had some very interest results. As our first release of Hybrid Symphonic series the point of the soundbank is the creation of hybrid sounds that have orchestral instruments on the one side and something else on the other side.
