Vintage synth waveforms

Post by jazzcat88 »

Hey!
I’m looking for raw waveforms sampled from vintage synths (moogs, juno, jupiter etc). I tried searching this forum with no luck. Nsmp files would be great but I could make them myself with chromatically sampled wavs also. Any ideas?

Thx!

There was a nice collection in Nord Sample Library v1 but not available any more on Nord site, maybe you can still get some samples from wayback machine here https://web.archive.org/web/20160126015 ... rp-odyssey

I think I have all of them downloaded, thanks anyway! They didnt have the straight raw oscillator samples i’m looking for, but rather ready sounds with envelopes shaped etc..

OK, I didn't get you wanted the raw OSC waveforms, for those you can search around the web for .wav samples that some people may have made; normally for synths raw waveforms 2 samples per octave are more than enough, you don't need chromatics samples.

Take a look at this thread on KVR https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=576470 or Google for "classic synths raw waveforms .wav samples"

I'm really new here, first post (reply, count find where to make a post) :?
I'm just trying to get Head East, Never Been Any Reason for my Electro6D. Am I understanding that I can't get it on my Electro6? Or, can I get something close?
thanks in advance

New to the Nord world I wonder where I can download all those samples. The ZIP-files doesn't seem to be there.

I just tried it for der ARP-Link above and the download simply still works. I´d store any sound /sample I find in the net (got it from Nord-Archive1 on) and would everybody refer to do the same. It can even make sense, to keep older Nord-Programms (Editor/Manager) for any cases. I´d figured out, the "the net doesn´t forget anything" is not true anymore today in some cases...
:silent:

If you´re looking for something special from the old V1 Archive, there´s this italian maniac ;) , who did a great job make them still available for us: viewtopic.php?t=25821&hilit=v1+archive

And by the way I found many great Samples of those older Archive in ArchiveV2, V3, V... again, but with changed names. Sometimes you need to search without eyes / your ears only...
