Lo all,
From one source Ive heard that getting your samples from real synths is a hell of a job. You would have to know someone with a synth in the first place. Other than that where do you get your samples from and how do you sample/import them to your pc?

Hello Dude,
why not try some free Software-Synths and sample the Sounds from them? :)
The other Option, that comes to my mind, is, to search the Internet for free Sounds in WAV format ^^ .
Or: for Chiptune-like Samples, you can use the Synthesis-Function in Milky, or simply draw your own ones in the Sampleeditor.
Greetings,
Ingo
PS: i have a Yamaha CS1x Keyboard and a Waldorf MicroQ Racksynth - so .. if you need a special Sound, tell me, and i'll see what i can do. I'm not a good Soundprogrammer, but some basic Sounds i can create too, with a bit of experimenting ;)
Someone told us here in the Board, that you can use the Demo Version of FruityStudio and it's Ability to use VST Instruments (and it's basic Set of Synths) for creating Sounds, too. The Wav-Output to Disk is enabled in FruityStudio Demo as far as i know, so you can trigger the Notes, that you want to sample, in the Pianoroll and then record the pattern or "song" to wav file. After that, you can use a free Sample Editor to cut the individual Notes out and save them in seperate wav files; import them into Milky Sample Editor and rock on :D .
I've attached a simple and old example of mine into this post.

For soft synths, I used to use FL Studio, but have been using Modplug for VST sampling. I picked up an issue of CM Magazine, which I must say, has a quite impressive sample library (it didn't hurt that one of their VSTs on the DVD had samples).
Also, check out The Freesound Project (http://freesound.org) for a variety of free samples.

Hello, this is my best self created techno bassdrum:

Just in case, saxlovesnightlife needs it :D

PS: BIG Thanks to poguemahon for the url to freesound ^_^ .

For sampling from softsynths, try Chainer (http://www.xlutop.com/html/chainer.html) ( even the demo )
-
I'll see check that out.

one of the best softsynths:

wavetool - is a small freeware (windoze95 or so) i remember having used i alot in the past... note the SIG-GEN.exe is a chipsample creator...

goattracker is also a very nice sample creator for c64 sounds..
.....
hey, don't use premade samples.. if you take the process of sample creation away from tracking what will tracking than be to you! djing?
get yourself a pack of tr-x0x standard samples and start learing how to make your own shit inna synthi!!
-
Thanks for the replies dudes. Im not motivated to create anything myself from scratch. The way I did it is download sample packs and chop them up to my liking. So far Ive come up with zero patterns or samples. Still, I love this tracker thing :D
-
Usually, if I'm tracking in Milky, I'll use 4 samples from The Day They Landed, 2 leads, a bass drum, and a hihat [the samples are so nice, I'm sorry!]; or I'll draw my own in the editor.
If I'm in Renoise, I have massive amounts of samples gained from samplepacks [notably from For The System's one month sample compos, which seem to be a total mess in organizing, but lots of good samples come out from the provided samplepacks], loaded binary files, hand drawn, made from VSTs, etc. Most of my samples there are breakbeats though.
-
I sample a lot of old music, recycle it thoroughly and once it reaches Milky, it will sound very unlike the original.
If you're wondering what samples sound like, here are a few VERY popular ones that many people have used in disco house and such:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oroUUhhCxxI (4:17 is when the sample starts)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2N-wfQGrR4 (the whole damn thing, but especially 2:00 and the "i got the feelin loop")
using samples like this is kind of tough in trackers though, unless you find a specific hit and then keymatch the track to it and add more samples later
sampling vsts is also a great idea and fairly easy to do too.
-
where DON'T i get my samples from, hah!
right now, i'm stuck on what i thought would be a rather mindless and easy (if time consuming) task of converting old Roland Sampler Library disk images to Fast Tracker XI format so i/people can use them in XI-supporting trackers like Renoise, Milky Tracker and MOD Plug Tracker.

i ran into complications...
but i'm a sound whore. i have spent months collecting sounds. in the end, most of my favourite sounds are the ones that were created in the land before time... the original ST set of samples that the classic MODs of yester-decade used over and over. when i had money and a real life, i even bought some synths to recreate some of those old samples (a Roland V-Synth XT has a Roland D50 built in, and many of the classic MOD sounds from the SoundTracker/Protracker era were sampled from the D50, among other synths popular at the time).

when i still had my home studio, i had a stack of DVDs that were samples from the internet. most were from hardware synthesizers, most were free from communities around those synths (SoundFonts, Kurzweil banks & Akai programs that i converted with Awave Studio) and samples of instruments found on Korg, Roland, Kawai, etc. synths, shared online among many different music community people...
