Sample Science Pianotone 600

The Jen Pianotone 600 was one of the quirkier pianos of the 70s, and Sample Science has revived it in the digital world with this plug-in. It functions in two modes – one with the original reaction and another that provides more touch sensitivity. There are also three voice modes: monophonic, polyphonic, and legato. It has the same controls as other Sample Science plug-ins including controls over the envelope, filtering, and reverb. It’s a small pack of samples at just 10MB in 16-bit, 44.1kHz specifications. The best part? It’s totally free.

RDG Audio Frame Drummer

This is a unique drum sample set taken from Asian frame drums. They were sampled in two mic positions to provide a proper stereo image. The GUI is unique but is fairly easy to navigate. The pack includes more than 400 samples, and up to seven sounds can be stacked at once. As far as controls go things are fairly robust. These include filtering, attack, release, pan, gain, tuning of the drums, and reverb. All samples are velocity sensitive. It works for Windows and Mac 64-bit and comes in VST3 and AU formats. It’s a unique set of samples available for just $59.99.
