A Collection Of Free Kontakt Instruments By Hideaway Studio!

DIY tube oscillator by Hideaway Studio.

Hideaway Studio has released some quite original free NI Kontakt instruments in the past few years – these lovely instruments are now all collected and hosted in one place with kind permission of the author.

Here’s a bit of insight into the unique process used to create these instruments, aka discrete tube synthesis:

For the past two years I’ve been madly following the steps of early EM pioneers such as Delia Derbyshire and Daphne Oram and developed a number of techniques to make unique sampled instruments using nothing but old tube test gear and DIY tube circuits to build up new instruments note by note, layer by layer…

It’s a heck of a lot of hard work but the results are sometimes eye watering especially when you consider that no synths whatsoever have been used to make these sounds. The result is something far more organic in nature.

Apart from the discrete tube synthesis instruments listed above, Hideaway Studio has also created a number of instruments which feature the sounds of various vintage synthesizers and samplers:

Many thanks to Hideaway Studio for offering these awesome sound libraries to all of us free of charge. Have fun playing with them, dear readers, and use them to create some awesome and original music!
