If you’re hungry for some patch content, the download-rich PatchArena has you covered, with a massive library of free, user-created content:
There are particularly large sections for the all-in-one studios EnergyXT, FL Studio, and a number of others. (Correction: Intua BeatMaker for iPhone/iPod Touch is promised, as well, though I got my categories confused — no files there now, so we’ll check in if some get posted! But it could be a great place to upload BeatMaker presets; see the thread on PatchArena’s forum.)
Francesco Silvestri writes CDM to let us know about his latest addition, a huge set for Cakewalk’s awesome soft synth Rapture. He says:
I’ve released Muz3um, a free set of patches for Rapture the virtual synthesizer by Cakewalk.This collection is built on waveforms from vintage synthesizers.
It features:
- 661 presets organized in categories (Basses, Keys, Leads, Pads, Sequences)
- 573 waveforms
- 36 impulse responses, taken from amp sims, cabinets and lo-fi speakers, providing additional colors to the set
It’s great having those impulse responses alone – meaning even if you’d rather program your own sounds in Rapture, this could be a must-download.
Update: This also works just fine with Rapture LE, meaning lots of Cakewalk customers can use the pack. (Thanks, Chad!)
Have a go and let us know what you think, Rapture users!
