Hideaway Studio has released numerous free NI Kontakt instruments in recent years.
These lovely instruments are now collected and hosted in one place with the author’s kind permission.
For more free sounds, check out our favorite free Kontakt libraries.
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.
Follow the links below to download the instruments:
