Free: 272 Merry Orks
The ancestors of Marie Ork. Before this, all of our sample libraries were made because we wanted to use them for something. This one, though, we made out of a mixture of curiosity and inability to resist a challenge. So, just what are these 272 orks, and why are they so merry? Well, they're 272 samples of a female death metal vocalist, and they're merry because this was a lot of fun to make and play with.
You get all vowels, consonants and dipthongs used in the English language, with the vowels and dipthongs having three round robins and the consonants four. There are also nine miscellaneous growls like "yeah" or "hey" with three round robins, numbers from zero through ten, and eight breaths. Finally there's a selection of 70 short phrases ranging from the basic ("one two three go") to the classic ("back with the heavyweight jam") and the absurd ("who would want to get robots high").
All are 44.1 kHz 24-bit wav files adding up to a 38 MB download size. Here's a short walkthrough video showing how to assemble a phrase, then some fun with effects. The ending features a small bit of death metal (using our own Emilyguitar and Growlybass also) with one of the pre-drop samples placed over it, then the same phrase assembled from the phoneme samples. This demo is two instances of the monster dialogue mapping, one run through effects. Then we just mashed on MIDI keys semi-randomly, added some pitch bend wheel, added reverb, and here you are - two goblins arguing in a cave.
