Catering to the needs of the noisy.
Here we have 2 longish samples of a waterfall, recorded with a Tascam DR-40X. The pack can be downloaded directly here, or from the Samples page. As usual, this pack is released as freeware to do with as you please, though the samples may not be redistributed as-is without permission. If you like and use them, please consider donating something using the button on the right, joining my Patreon, or going to the music page and purchasing something from one of my musical projects.
This is an instrument for Decent Sampler made from the “LCD Screen” multisample set previously uploaded in SFZ and DS format. This instrument uses and includes controls for the amp envelope, filter (lowpass) cutoff and resonance, chorus, and reverb. It can be downloaded here or from the Samples page.
This instrument is provided free of charge, though of course donations are appreciated (see the Patreon and Paypal links to the right).
All of the multisamples available here are now available in Decent Sampler format in addition to SFZ. If you have previously downloaded any (or all) of these samples and just want the mapping files for the new format, you can download this zip file which contains just the .dspreset files for all of them.
If anyone’s curious, I used a tool called Bjoerns Sample Mapper for the conversions.
2 longish samples of water running underneath the ice of a creek with a small waterfall. Recorded with the onboard mics of a Tascam DR-40X.
Available from the Samples page.
More recordings taken with pickup coils of electromagnetic fields from various devices. Some of these were taken with a recently-acquired Tascam DR-40X, and are a bit less noisy than the ones taken with the 70’s Tapco preamp used in the others, at least in terms of background noise.
The example this time comes from an LCD monitor:
The pack can be downloaded from the Samples page.
Also, don’t forget about the extended version of the first pack, available to supporters of any level from the FSA Patreon page.
Some recordings taken with pickup coils of electromagnetic fields from various devices. Due to the nature of these recordings, they are mono, and somewhat noisy. As an example, here’s a demo of the recording taken from an optical mouse:
The pack can be downloaded from the Samples page.
I have also added an expanded version to the FSA Patreon page, which includes longer versions of several sounds, plus an extra “bonus” sound. Supporters at any level will be able to download this and other exclusive content.
Another free pack of natural sounds: 2 longer samples of small waterfalls, a magpie, and a grasshopper in flight. As with the last one, these were recorded with a built-in cell phone mic. Head over to the Samples page to download.
Way back in the days of Windows 95, there was a little program called Sound Raider that crawled your hard drive looking for .wav files, and played them at random speeds in 4 different channels. This program has long since disappeared, and wouldn’t work on modern systems anyway for various reasons, security issues among them. This is an attempt to recreate the functionality as much as possible with VCV, and includes some added features as well.
The patch uses 4 Voxglitch Wav Bank modules, each triggered from a clock divider that can be clocked from either the first LFO, a dedicated LFO, or a random source. The patch and the samples used in the demo can be downloaded from the Patches page.

Added a new (and free) sample pack, which includes 6 wav files: some bird sounds and recordings of water running in a creek during the spring thaw. These sounds were all recorded on a cell phone, using the built-in mic, but the quality is decent. The pack can be found on the Samples page.
