Brisbot Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Okay, so I've been wanting to get into making high quality percussion stuff that focuses on melody such as Nannou by Aphex or say... Biophilia by Bjork or that really cool artists that released on Rephlex that one time who's name I can't remember and has been bothering me.. you know the guy who builds machines and makes tracks with them...Anyway, anyone know some good well recorded(in your opinion) percussion libraries to check out? It can be anything really, such as bells or taps against metal or anything or a xylophone, as long as it's good. Paid or not. I want to start building my own.

Brisbot Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Thanks for the suggestions Chim & Logikngt! All of them make top notch samples. I think you mean Pierre Bastien yeah that's the guy. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerWaschbar Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hrmm sounds more like Victor Gama that you were thinking of... Pierre Bastien builds machines that play traditional instruments, while Victor Gama build his own instruments to be played by people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisbot Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Looking through his discography he's gotten into this kinda stuff as of late, and the traditional instruments thing was something he did more in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braintree Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Most of my drum kits are just made out of human voice and whatever is lying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b born droid Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Subaqueous has some nice free ones. They form part of a pack for Ableton but you can also get access to the individual samples. http://subaqueousmusic.com/aq-forest-fall-micro-drum-rack/ http://subaqueousmusic.com/ableton-free-drum-rack-stone-samples/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeyemusik Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I seem to recall that Twisted Tools has had some sample packs with some foley and real sound type stuff in there but they may have turned them into more sci-fi/robotic rather than organic... you can probably check them out. Also, another approach would be to delve into the world of physical modelling to create your own and they'll play chromatically easily also..... in fact, i'm surprised JohnE not been in here suggesting that approach. A couple of ideal softsynths would be AAS Chrompahone and NI's Prism (you can also get the freebie cut down version MikroPrism from their website).
