Good value sample packs

Elektron Gear Digitakt
#1

Hey guys,

after loving the Model:Cycles I took the plunge and ordered a digitakt which will be delivered any hour now.
I am pretty new to the hobby (started in december with a Novation Circuit) and therefore dont own any sample packs. Therefore I am looking for some good & affordable sample packs to play around with.
Would it be a good idea to just get https://samples.landr.com/ for a month and get as much samples as possible?
Also I see that there are quite some sound-packs in the unofficial guide-thread. But these are kind of expensive for me and I think I would be satisfied with creating the sounds myself from samples.

Maybe there are some classics & well-known super-good sample packs at fair price points that I just dont know as I am new in this hobby.
Btw. I am a software engineer that never touched anything close to music-creation or playing an instrument and I am just having fun and wanting to get some creative freetime into my life.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Those should get you going. No need to pay anything to start out.

Edit: apologies, the formatting is crazy due to auto-enbedding for the links, but each one is a treasure trove.

I agree with the above!

If you really wanna spend money and need drums, maybe get the Goldbaby MPC60 or the SP1200 collection. More drums than you could ever need.

Wow thanks a lot! This is even better than I thought, so many samples for free is pretty much perfect :slight_smile:

Worth noting that some of the elektron sound packs are free, and that those that are NOT free often have downloadable demos which include samples.

And of course, the Sound Packs: Winter Sale is still running for today at least.
