Just came across this archive of kits designed for Akai MPC1000's. Most seem to be a collection of WAV files (plus an Akai format .pgm file that ties them together in the intended Akai kit), so one should be able to build them into dbkits easily enough.

I have to see how the congas are, anyway :)
Holy cow, great find, Carl. there's some real cool-looking stuff in there. Have you had a chance to parse out any of the sounds into a kit yet? If so, how do they sound? Dan

Haven't tried 'em on yet. I'm interested to see how the congas are, though I'm disappointed to see that the "mute" samples are missing from congas 1 and 4 in the set. Ah well, it _is_ free! I haven't looked at the drum machine samples so much (since I'm more interested in samples of real drums :) and I haven't looked so much at the basic drum kit samples since I think there are already a lot of basic kit options open to me with the existing dbkits. But I am interested in scoring odd bits of percussion .... The collection of hi-hats might be cool: I keep hoping to find more samples with half-open hats (or 1/3 and 2/3 open, maybe) so one could do cool patterns where it sounds like the hat is slowly opening in the course of a couple of bars :) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
I've got a collection of sounds that I can't remember the source for. One is called "Sonor kit" and the other is called "Ludwig Kit". They're not DB kits, just collections of different drums struck at different velocities. The Ludwig is definitely not the David Holloway sounds. I started building a Sonor DB kit, but I don't know if I can share it since I can't remember where I got the sounds! Can anyone jog my memory?
