Casio MT-68 keyboard

For you music makers out there, here are some free analog drum samples for your software samplers. May it suit you well.

I bought a Casio Mt-68 keyboard several months ago for about USD$15. I mainly bought it for the percussion, but it also creates some nice sounds as well. This is actually a cute little analog keyboard that they made in the early 80s, just before they went digital. It has a surprisingly nice sound, especially when going through the line out, which is how I recorded these.

The sample pack includes one-hit samples of each of the seven percussion sounds. I identify these sounds as: Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Closed Hi-Hat, Open Hi-hat, Clave, Mid Tom, and Low Tom. There are in 24/96 wav format and there are multiple samples of each, so you can round-robin them. They have been carefully EQ'd and trimmed using Synapse-Audio's Orion and Audacity.

This is the first sample pack I've created, and I hope to continue doing more. Eventually, I'll convert the Meropis Lollipop site to host software, samples and other tools for fellow electronic musicians.
