Our virtual instruments are a little crazy and off-kilter. Even when we sample a normal instrument such as a cello, there are oddball noisy articulations. And sometimes, we sample instruments nobody else would take seriously, like an old guitar made in a Polish government factory.



Snowkiss Guitar: A modern boutique indie guitar, with a huge variety of different techniques sampled - even playing behind the bridge. Price: $39 regular price, $19 intro price until September 30th, 2020.



Vengeful Bass: Double bass with more than two dozen articulations, including plenty of aggressive rhythmic ones. Plus, hundreds of combinations of layered articulations. Price: $59.



Vengeful Cello: A cello with, again, a lot of different techniques sampled, including the weird, scratchy and aggressive. Price: $59.



Hadziha: A choir recorded in Ghana, with six vowels and ten playable phrases in the Ewe and Ashanti languages. Price: $39.



Secret Agent Guitar: A virutal guitar with personality, this library contains over 10000 samples of a bizarre hollowbody electric made in Poland in the 1970s. Can be used as 6-string or 12-string. Price: $39.



Secret Agent Bass: A 70s hollowbody bass made in Poland, with lots of thumpy character. Our largest library so far, at over 5 GB. Price: $39.



Big Rusty Drums: Great sounds from cheap drums. A unique and oversized drum kit made in a one-man workshop in Poland decades ago. Price: $39.



Unruly Drums: A kit where every drum is a snare, ranging from a vintage 60s Trixon to a 22" giant. Price: $39.



Frankensnare: Create your own monster snares from a huge variety of acoustic snare samples - small, medium, huge and just plain weird - plus claps and other extras. Price: $19.



Swirly Drums: You get brushed drums with extra kit pieces like cracked cymbals, brushed darbouka, and a cajon used as a kick. Price: now just $9.

Earlier libraries with no graphical user interface



You can download an earlier version of Meatbass from external sites.

Our free sample libraries can be downloaded directly from this site - no registration, like or donation required. Most of the free samples have a CC-BY attribution, but we only want attribution if you're going to redistribute these samples as samples or as part of larger sample libraries. If you are using them in tracks, feel free to ignore the attribution part with any of the instrument libraries.

If you're interested in how we do this stuff, we also contribute to the open source SFZ format documentation project, including detailed descriptions of how we've implemented features like humanized vibrato and brushed drum stirs.
