Durk Kooistra has announced Extreme Bass FX, a free sample pack featuring bass fx stabs.

Howdy Ho! I’m back with a new freebie for you all. I had some fun with my favorite synth and some FX and ended up with 22 Extreme Bass FX stabs. I decided to give this pack away to my Facebook subscribers.

As the name suggests the sounds are extreme – some are twisted and weird others are pure filth. I hope you enjoy!

The sample pack is free to download for Facebook fans.

Durk Kooistra has released FreeBee, a free Kontakt instrument which simulates a 3d flying insect.

Durk Kooistra FreeBee

Since I have been working on a set of Kontakt instruments for Audiomotif I became more and more interrested in Kontakt as a sound design tool. While mainly engineered towards the chromatic instrument simulations – Kontakts built in effects and scripting language allows you to create very effective sound design tools. Besides sound design tools designed for post production there is also a new line of synth’s and drum instruments coming out next month. (Audiomotif – Electro Tech Vol 01)

What else but a bee would be our simulation? A freebie bee – Right enough with the wordplay. The instrument is using a HP filter to mimic the size of the insect (more bass equals a bee – medium a wasp and only high’s for a fly). There is panning control and X-Y shifts; going from wide to narrow relative of it’s center. There is an EQ section you can use to enhence some frequencies when using a more extreme pitched keys (C1>C2 – C5>C6). The sample used is a synthesized sound and is being looped.

FreeBee is available to download from Durk Kooistra at no cost.

Durk Kooistra of Audiomotif and Humanworkshop has released Bass Hive, a free collection of 10 presets for Native Instruments Massive.

I love NI’s Massive synth. It’s great sounding, intuitive and has some unique functionality.

The patches are a teaser of what is still to come. I am working on some tutorials and perhaps a preset bank for Massive. For now enjoy these freebies and subscribe to stay up to date about my future massive projects.

Bass Hive is available as a free download from Durkkooistra.com.
