Animato – featuring over 1,000 samples and loops, in .wav and .rex formats.
Tonescape has released Animato – a free sample library, featuring over 1,000 samples and loops, in .wav and .rex formats.
Here’s what they have to say about the free sample library:
This pack was carefully crafted in my studio during a period of about four months.
The goal was to deliver some quality loops, drums, fx and vocals for a variety of genres incl. Dubstep, Drum’n’bass, Psytrance and Psydub. It is perfectly applicable to other genres too off course.
Features:
- 407 MB content including Alien, Field recording, Fx, Loops, Moog, Percussion, Tonal, Vocals.
- Tools used to create the sounds include: Moog Voyager, Doepfer Dark Energy, Eventide H7600, NI Deep Freq (used extensively for modulated sounds).
- All samples are 100% royalty free to use in commercial and non-commercial work.
Animato is available as a free download from ToneScape.
Extremly long evolving drones/soundscapes and on interchangeable synth loops
LoopBased has introduced Ambivalence – a new sound pack with the focus on extremly long evolving drones/soundscapes and on interchangeable synth loops for music styles like Electronica, Chillout, Ambient and as well for cinematic sound tracks.
Features:
- Over 1 GB content in 24 Bit/44.1 Khz WAV format, normalized and free of DC offset.
- Includes 32 long drones and soundscapes, 32 “Main Loops”, 133 “Loop Elements”.
- The drones and soundscapes are 16, 32 or 64 bars long (at 120 BPM), so most of them have a length of more than one or two minutes. These long samples have only short fade outs at the end to give you the freedom to determine the optimal release times for your productions within your sampler or your DAW software on your own.
- All loops are at 120 BPM, 4 or 8 bars long and are carefully edited for seemless looping without glitches.
- The “Main Loops” are small, but complex musical miniatures, consisting of vintage synth lines, modulated analogue step sequences and arpeggios, sweeping pads, atonal fx loops and various other sounds that are mixed together with different levels and pannings.
- The so called “Loop Elements” are looped, isolated layers from the “Main Loops”, but they are centered and at full level now. Each “Loop Element” again consists of several layers on its own. Most of these “Loop Elements” are interchangeable among themselves. This allows you to create 1001 new loop variations or to build up an arrangement progression for the “Main Loops”.
Ambivalence is available now for 15 EUR.

Download free loop pack from Francis Preve:
Developed in conjunction with Berlin electronica artist, Errorsmith, this ensemble is targeted at the Dubstep community, but there’s a helluva lot more to it than that.
With its über-pretty FFT display of harmonic motion, tons of really unique filters and a couple of beat-synced LFOs, RAZOR makes a deep cut into additive synthesis territory (sorry, couldn’t resist the pun).
So, I decided to beat everyone to the punch and drop a RAZOR-edged free loop six-pack on ya, so you can get a taste for yourself.
Tech notes and linkage after the jump…
Tech notes:
– Everything’s in the key of C minor-ish.
– All loops are 128 BPM.
– All loops are eight bars long.

Goldbaby Super Analog 808
Loopmasters has released Super Analog 808, a sample library featuring high quality TR-808 samples by Goldbaby.
Punchy, warm, analog drums with Round Robin Layering. Using high-end outboard and a compulsive attention to detail… this 808 sample set is pure analog drum heaven.
Why have you created another TR-808 sample set?
For a start the 808 is one of my favorite drum machines! Secondly I thought I could offer something a little different. This sample pack has been recorded at a higher sampler rate and has extensive Round Robin treatment to recreate the feel and movement of an analog drum machine. The Tape808 used tape to give it extra Mojo… this time I have used some new high end outboard. Tasty…
Is there anything else that is different?
Yes there certainly is. This pack has tuned chromatic BD and Conga patches. So you can play them on your keyboard!
Super Analog 808 features
- 1168 x 24 bit / 96 kHz wav files.
- Instrument patches for: Battery 3, EXS24, Kontakt 3.
- Patches make use of extensive Round Robin mapping for a more analog feel.
- Also includes tuned Chromatic BD and Conga patches (Kontakt, EXS24, Battery).
- Note: the GURU pack includes the samples + Drum Mashine patches for Guru.
Super Analog 808 is available to purchase for £24.95 GBP.

Elastik Inspire Series
Ueberschall presents the new „Inspire Series”! This innovative concept offers new ideas and complete arrangements „on the fly”. Endless searching for matching key and BPM is a thing of the past. With the help of the Elastik 2 Player each inspiration is transformed into a new, unique track.
Loop to Inspire!
Here’s what they have to say about it:
How does „Elastik Inspire Series” work?
The „Elastik Inspire Series” goes beyond previous boundaries of sample libraries. All loops and tonal phrases fit together perfectly every time, even across genres. Each sample is automatically detected and stretched to the song tempo.
The Elastik 2 Player, the 2 GB sample library and the elaborate tagging system aid in spontaneously creating new tracks. The workflow is fast, simple and clear.
Any instrument can be replaced with samples of the same instrument group at random via the intelligent random-replacement function. The results always work flawlessly. All samples of the „Elastik Inspire Series” match perfectly. This creates millions of opportunities for new and inspiring tracks.
Everything is possible!
The „Elastik Inspire Series” represents an inexhaustible source of inspiration especially for creative people in the music, film, multimedia and web industry. Due to the high quality of ueberschall products the created tracks can be immediately integrated into one’s own projects without any further treatment.
What do the different functions mean?
Using the „Random” button, new combinations of instruments can be created automatically. The selected sample will be replaced by a randomly selected sample of the same instrument class. The tagging system keeps track of certain features, such as the type of instrument of the sample. Thereby samples are selected from all genres.
Apart from its new graphic interface, Elastik 2 offers a whole new range of desirable features: The self-explanatory browser, designed for fast access to any loaded sound libraries. Browser features: The multiple filter search function allows quickly to find sounds. Prelisten the whole library content in-sync to host tempo and tag favorite samples.
The central Loopeye surface focuses all attention on the loop. All editing is now done inside the Loopeye. Within Loopeye you can record all cursor movements for automation purposes. Elastik 2 even features a sequence mode. Slice up your loop and access an unmatched multitude of editing features for each part.
Due to the advanced architecture of the élastique pro algorithm by zplane.development, realtime sync-to-host is an integral part of Elastik 2.
It also provides highest sound quality and CPU-friendly processing. A random replacement function is a ground breaking feature to create new loops and sounds. Elastik 2 now offers a completely dynamic zoom function to resize its window format.
In several videos on our site each function will be explained in detail.
