Sonic cinema provides you with top-notch free sample packs. Carefully selected samples suited for cinematic music, IDM, film scores or even musique concrete.

The following sample packs are currently available for download.

Sonic Cinema - Foley Series Vol. 1 & 2 and Drill ‘n Crack Pack

1. Foley Series Vol. 1 - Gloves and brushes (WAV and Soundforge files), a ACIDized sample pack and the first edition of Sonic Cinema’s Foley Series. Containing foley sounds for that extra touch in your production. Be it a score for film or a cinematic music piece.
2. Foley Series Vol. 2 - Jazzy Glitches (Kontakt), an exclusive Sonic Cinema kit ready to provide you with some lush purcusive sounds, brush strokes and glitchy FX. Based on the powerful NI Kontakt engine you can tweak these samples to your liking. The glitches and FX were edited in the studio.
3. Drill ‘n Crack Pack (Kontakt), provides you with lush yet gritty glitch sounds. With this pack you can intuitively control the length of a glitchy snare and groove without the painstaking process of tweaking fx for every re-trigger or loop.

All the samples are 16-bit/1411kbps, recorded stereo in a foley pit with two condenser mics.

Visit Sonic Cinema for more information and links to download these free samples.
