Licensed packs can be purchased from stores such as Beatport, Juno, Irrupt, Sample Magic and Loopmasters, but it’s possible to find great, royalty-free sample collections for no money across the internet. These range from professional packs released by stores as promotional freebies to ZIP files made at home by artists and synth enthusiasts. Digging for old records and finding the perfect loop to cut, pitch and stretch is still one of the best ways to find inspiration, but there’s no shame in using an official, royalty-free sample pack to make music. Whether you agree with the ethics of sampling or not, modern electronic music was largely built on the practice. Scott Wilson picks 21 of the best to give you fresh inspiration.

PocketChops - Public Beta (iOS TestFlight) If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please reach out to me via this thread! Version 1 of the app is fully developed and ready for publishing, but before I enter the release phase I would love to get some beta testers to try out the app's functionality.īelow, you can find a demo video as well as a public link for beta testing on TestFlight (for iOS only, but the fully published app will also be available on Google Play) Drum sounds on pad strikes (this is a feature that I've been experimenting with since the beginning, but I'm struggling to overcome some mighty latency issues that make the app virtually unplayable - which guided my decision to integrate vibrations instead) More metronome sounds (snare, woodblock, etc.) Single-bar patterns would require some code/UI reworking, but I'm certainly open to the idea if users would prefer it Currently, all rudiments are double-bar patterns.
Allow users to create custom rudiments in more time signatures Create/provide built-in practice rudiments beyond 4/4 Toggleable device vibrations on pad strikes (physical touch feedback provides next-level immersion) A hit counter (because who isn't curious about how many times they've hit the pads?)
An adjustable metronome (40 - 280 bpm) with active time signature detection (also visually functions via ticking/flashing when muted) 15 custom presets for creating/recording patterns in 3/4, 4/4, 5/4 Over 200 built-in practice rudiments in 4/4 Additionally, players can create their own rudiments in various time signatures and record them onto the device for future reference - so you no longer have to open your notes, air drum your pattern, and then type in that pattern out of sheer memory/trial and error. I'm currently developing an educational drum app for practicing and recording rudiments on the go! The app is called PocketChops, and it transforms your mobile device into a practice pad with an interface that displays rudiments onto the screen for the player to follow.
