-- **78** Free & Sexy Lead Soundfonts for YOU!!!

Posted by DJ Robby Rox on Jan-08-2009 03:12:

Ok so I've gotten the free pack finished. The bass back I only have like 40 done, I'm going to do about another 40 and get it up asap. (another 2 or 3 days)
The bass pack I also guarantee will be 1000x's better because I've put a lot more time into it.

I do however have ONE pretty big problem.
Fileden has a max file size of 50mb, rapid share is 100mb, and this file is a bit over 500mb or a half gig.

If anyone can point me to a place that allows files that big to be shared please let me know!!! As soon as I find out I can get them out for people.

Thanks!

filefront.com (although technically meant to be for games, my mixes have been up for over a year and they haven't exactly deleted them).

No bandwidth max... files are deleted after 2 months of fuck all activity depending on file size.

max size 1gig

Awesome!! I've been googling for the last 30 mins and couldn't find anything.

Pack will be ready in roughly 1 hour if my wireless doesn't get funny on me.

Check back everyone for the link!!!!!

OK all ready!!

Some obvious details first. ASDR envelopes are very important because some samples need short release and others long release.

And I shouldnt need to say but the samples are dry so reverb/delay will give them the justice they deserve.
Also there are 5-6 samples you may have heard before, I just had to add them because I love them.

Enjoy and let me know what you think! I'll be going SF2 crazy now that I learned how to do it.

epic n00b question, are these samples, or are they a synthesiser plug in??

DL-ing now

Downloading just now nice one robby

They work fine in NN-XT! Do you think the patches should be in just one SF2 file?

downloading then thanks

couple of comments

some of these sounds are great, i really havent seen this format before, i file containing both the wavs and the presets, is this a reason-fileformat only or does it somehow works with other samplers too?

i noticed that some of the presets had diferent levels on the recordings.

"cosmic coverage lea" and "space explorer synt" where both fucking cool and really strong sounding, how are they made. with the right filter settings i got a great strong resonance which ive never managed before in reason, fucking cool filtering such rich sounds.

is it possible to "export" the files somehow into wavs and presets separately so that i can sort it the way i wanna? i want to be able to browse the presets easaeliry by just presing up/down buttons in nn-xt.

They are samples from various layered synthesizers in a soundfonts (SF2) format. Any DAW should open them (Logic, Reason, Cubase, Fruity, etc).

You want to open up a soundfont sampler, and it will open up each file as a seperate multilayered sample. Meaning each octave has several samples and they are layered across most octaves. (don't be confused, most samplers you just open a single sample and you won't even see the layers - at least in Fruity, I think Reason shows them) Just like opening any sample as long as it can read SF2 format.

So one "sound" is actually around 12-15 different samples, this is so they sound natural and there is no pitch shifting like you would get from a single wav sample.

Yeh I think thats possible, but I'm not sure how to do it. I think theres like a "create soundfont bank" option I can use next time if people prefer a main folder with all the samples in it.

I'm pretty sure 100% of DAWs have a sound font sampler of some sort, if not you can download a free one called "cakewalk sfz" as a vst which will host these like a sampler would.
But I'm pretty sure all DAWs can read them, just make sure you have the right sampler in your program to open them.
In Fruity its "Fruity Sounfont Player"
and in Reason its "NN-XT".
Other programs I don't know the names.

About NNXT yeh I actually don't think it can browse like that, I remember in the past needing to open up SF2s individually.

As far as the 2 samples you picked out, there are actually 3 other "mystery samples" that I threw in there from the same place you got those 2 from.

Certain people on this board will know, (from the names) but I will pm you where. Enjoy!

I'm not very knowledgeable in Soundfonts either, but this helps a little.

mygood all the txt. i think i understand it tho, it seems i can save them as single presets from the nn-xt sampler, but they where very small, i dont get that, the space synt become 13kB so it seems to not include the wavs into its preset. i dont know if NN-XT normaly do that anyway i think maybe the wavs must be included in the song.

You can't be saving the preset as anything but the settings, which is what that 13kb has to be.

For instance, if you open a SF2, and make changes on NN-XT, than save the preset, you're actually saving any setting changes you made on NN-XT + a call out to open that specific sample.

If you open that preset, it will first open the sample, than will configure the settings on NN-XT to how you had them when you saved the preset.
I haven't used Reason in a while but I think this is how NN-XT works.

Actually I think I know what you guys are looking for, you want those thick nasty hardware synths.

I'm really loving this so much I'm gonna submit another 20-25 lead synths and finish the bass tommorow.
I'm using hardware as the foundation, layering it with some nasty z3ta and sylenth saw lfo's, noise, flanger on some, and getting some REALLY thick track piercing sounds.

The softsynths actually add a beautiful tonal character over the hardsynths. I'll try to get them up soon.

Posted by EgosXII on Jan-09-2009 01:42:

thanks for the soundfont info, i googled it before i posted but couldn't find anything, but i get it now, it's like a sample pack run through an actual sampler r/t just a bunch of sounds...

and yeah i'm on logic, has esx24 as a sampler thingy i'll run it through that, cheers again robby for the packs
can't wait for the bass pack!!

Posted by Zak McKracken on Jan-09-2009 01:45:

lol oldschool trance here i come

Posted by DJ Robby Rox on Jan-09-2009 02:55:

Ok I was doing strictly hard synth dance style leads (like cascada.. eww) but they are good lol.

BECAUSE I only got like 9 done I'll get the bass pack up now, all very useful for trance. I think theres about 40 of them.

Mad respect, definitely going to check these out.

Posted by DJ Robby Rox on Jan-09-2009 22:26:

Just encase anyone missed the packs, bump!

Posted by MrJiveBoJingles on Jan-09-2009 23:55:

Downloading these now.

These are amazing!

I'm limited to software synths for my own creation, so having some good hardware samples is great, much better for trance music especially since you just can't get the same quality of rich, deep, full sound with software. I definitely see myself using a lot of these!
Thanks!

I usually don't like chord synths, but I'm having a lot of fun with "Saw Major" right now.

A lot of these sound really good with the right sidechain.

Thanks! I never knew what soundfonts were before, so this was a great thread to learn something new.
