Karoryfer Samples Unruly Drums v1.100 for Sforzando-R2R screenshot
Team R2R | 2024.02.18 | 622.3 MB
Lots of people sample classic drum kits which make familiar sounds. This is very different. Every drum in this kit is a snare. There's a relatively normal 14” snare, a deep 13” snare converted from a tom, and a giant 22” snare we constructed specifically for the purposes of sampling. Even the kick is a 20” marching band bass drum with two sets of microsnare wires under the reso head. We put this kit together specifically for the purposes of sampling it, starting with making the 22” snare and then looking for pieces to match it.

Team R2R | 2024.02.18 | 452.8 MB
A free sample library of a giant hi-hat made up of two ride cymbals. Because we can. Six degrees of openness with bow, edge and bell hits for each, and four or five velocity layers. Chiks with four velocity layers, splashes and clutch drops with two velocity layers. Pedal return and clutch raise noises. All with four round robins. 356 total samples, additionally duplicated as another set of pitch-shifted files.

Now free, this was our first commercial sample library, which grew out of trying to find ways to sample snare drum brush techniques in a flexible way. No, nothing here is played with sticks. It also contains some unique things, especially the percussion: brushed cowbell, darbouka, djembe and bongos and a cajon used as a kick. There's also a China cymbal and a few cracked or broken cymbals.

While working on Three Tagelharpas, we also recorded this library of the bass tagelharpa played pizzicato - which is definitely not the main traditional use for any kind of tagelharpa. It was created with repetitive pulses in mind, so there are five different types of pizzicato with up to six round robins, plus percussive FX. It adds up to over 500 samples and 180 MB.

Just like Dr. Viktor Frankenstein tried to put together the best parts of various humans, Frankensnare lets you create your own snares from a wide array of acoustic snare samples, from giants the diameter of a kick drum to a tiny 10" one, and also including the mad science "sympathy snares", which are recordings of a kick drum making six snares buzz sympathetically at once. There are also several varieties of claps, guitar chiks, and a tambourine. Over 3500 samples of snare drums, with an SFZ instrument built for layering

Karoryfer Samples Big Rusty Drums v1.100 for Sforzando-R2R screenshot
Team R2R | 2024.02.18 | 586.3 MB
Drums that are not nice and easy, but nice and rough! Samples of drums made by Zygmunt Szpaderski in a one-man workshop in Poland. They're big, and they've gotten kind of rusty over the decades. We matched them with an even larger floor tom made from an Estonian-made RMIF kick drum, and some nice modern cymbals. While we paid the equivalent of $111.68 for the Szpaderski kit with hardware, stands and cymbals, the Sabian ride cost more than four times as much, and we don't care - they are a good match sonically.

Soundiron Duduk Phrases WAV-FANTASTiC screenshot
FANTASTiC | 18 February 2024 | 126.54 MB
Solo Duduk is an ancient double reed wind instrument made from aged apricot wood. This wood is traditionally chosen for its soft pleasant feel and rich, warm resonance, perfect for creating mournful timbres and expressive dynamics that subtly mimic a wailing voice. Indigenous to Armenia, the duduk is among the very oldest double reed woodwinds, with earliest instruments made entirely out of bone or cane.

The Synergy of Film and Music: Sight and Sound in Five Hollywood Films screenshot
English | Publisher: Scarecrow Press, 2013 | PDF | 180 pages | 0,8 MB
Although writers on film music frequently allude to specific parts of scores, comprehensive examinations of entire scores are rare. In addition, most analyses of scores composed for the screen are discussed outside their cinematic context. To best understand the role music plays in the production of a motion picture, however, it benefits the viewer to consider all of the elements that comprise the film experience.

ABBA: The Complete Recording Sessions by Carl Magnus Palm screenshot
English | 1994 | PDF | 129 pages | 52 MB
In 1966 two young men from Sweden wrote and recorded a song called "Isn't It Easy To Say," which marked the beginning of a songwriting and record producing partnership that has continued to this day. As the 1960's drifted into the 1970's, they started making recordings with two girl singers (who later became their wives), a working relationship that would continue until August 1982. During that period the foursome recorded a collection of songs which heralded one of the most successful recording careers the world has ever known and claimed a unique place in the history of popular music.
