Samplephonics has released 909, a multi-sampled drum hits sound library.

The Kontakt version of Samplephonics 909 comes with a custom sequencer.

Expect to find over 4000 24 Bit Wav samples, meticulously sampled through two inputs, one clean, and one through a Thermionic Culture ‘Culture Vulture’ to provide some real analogue tube warmth and extra beef!

This sample library is available to download with a deeply scripted sequencer for Kontakt 5 (please note the full version of Kontakt 5 is required to run this and the instrument only works in demo mode with the Kontakt Free Player.) Create, copy, paste and edit patterns and even play live. We’ve kept many features true to the original (and added a few more necessities) and we believe this to be the closest software equivelent to the real thing.

Take your music back to it’s roots and inject some truly authentic drum samples into your next production. The 909 is back!

• 4054 24 Bit Wav samples, available in 96khz and 44.1khz sample rates.

Anton Lyubenov Savov aka Antto has released version 1.0 of Venom VB-303, a free synthesizer instrument for Windows.

The Venom VB-303 is an approximation of the classic 303 Bass Line synthesizer.

I don’t want to delay this any longer. I disabled some functions because they are not vital and were a little broken: .303 file import/export and pattern manipulators are disabled. MidiPlay mode has an annoying lock to encourage you to use the sequencer more often.

A huge thanks to you KVR people, for your patience, help, and feedback.

Venom VB-303 is available to download for Windows (VST).

Goldbaby has announced that its Tape909 drum machine sample library is now available in Maschine and Geist formats.

The Tape808 has been very well received so we decided to give the TR909 some tape love!… This is 1446 samples taken from a mint 909 recorded into an Ampex 351 1/2″ valve 2 track tape machine! That’s not all… We also put the 909 through other vintage gear. Plus we recorded it naked into a Metric Halo ULN-2 firewire audio card. Then we chose the best samples.

All 24 bit, and all solid 909 goodness! If you can’t get a hold of a real 909 then this is as close as you can get in samples… Maybe even better than the having the real thing!

The sample pack costs $29 USD. The download now includes Maschine, Battery, ReFill, Geist, Guru, iDrum and Wav formats.
