Free Music Instrument Samples

I’ve been using this for field recording and grabbing instrument samples around the apartment. Upgraded from a Zoom H5 and the difference is quite dramatic. Even small things like the UI menus are laid out well. The preamps are very very detailed, and work well with any mic I can throw at them. Shotguns, small condensers, various contact mics, $10 radio shack lavs from the 80s, all sound very upfront and full. The ability to link channels in L/R or M/S is great. The polywav workflow is not the annoyance that I thought it would be, since it actually makes previewing and organizing much easier. The only serious annoyance is that the headphone knob also doubles as the data entry, which can be tough to reach sometimes.

I have a video sample here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brKrk1fzPqI Photo samples here (free RAW downloads): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ5rFFDcPiI

With so many free good samples out there its hard to fathom  complaining about stock sounds.  Creating your own kit is a snap.  Load samples onto an SD card then plug the card into the samplepad.  Select a pad, assign the sample to it and away you go! I dont know any real drummer that doesnt tweak his or her kit to make it sound just the way they want. Same idea for the samplepad pro.  This machine is easy to use and easy to make amazing custom kits, The menu is intuitive and its features make it extremely versatile   Ive read other reviews where crosstalk was initially an issue that was easily fixed with a free update from Alesis.  Mine came fully updated and crosstalk has not been an issue.  The samplepad pro has proven to be the drumming solution Ive been wanting and now there is no more slaving for hours with drum programs for me.

using the product to record vocal samples for electronic music. sound came through clear and love that there's different sound level settings built into the mic. great price for quality product!

good to try the samples!

If you are a musician traveler sometimes you would like to know if there is an all in one Headphone you can use for both, listen music but also for connect your instrument and play on the go! Love this ones!

Easy to use, lots of free music available

I always want to know about professional products and samples are the way to go.

I have never seen/heard a speaker like this before! This is truly next level. I can hear every single instrument in the music I play on it- it's incredible. Though I received my first ever noise complaint from this thing when I got it, I love everything about it! Why won't my neighbours let me be free?! #Squares

I use the Stage box nake for small church music instrument (Guitar, piano, keyboard, E drum, 4 mic), it works great and strong.
