Tambourine/Percussion

Does anyone know of a decent free plug in for Tambourine or Marracas?

THanks.

    A little reverb and the TTS-1 tambourine works OK. Try panning the reverb opposite.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    bit,

    I have MC3 and the on board synth set up is Edirol. It does have a tambo so I'll play with verb and EQ on it and pan it as you suggest.

    Thanks.

    I think it partly depends on how you want to 'play' it. For single hits a synth may do the job perfectly well. More complex rythmns may prove trickier. (at least they did for me)

    My solution to getting a great tambourine sound was to go and buy one and record an audio track!

    Good suggestion!

    However, recording a tambourine is trickier than you think it'll be, and if you have a bad-sounding room most percussion instruments end up sounding like a grade-school music class.

    Still, it's fairly inexpensive and everybody really should have one. That and a cowbell!

    If you have something that's capable of playing (sf2) soundfonts then there is an overwhelming choice of percussion sounds available for free, I think Herb (Guitarhacker) uses fonts with MC so he'd be a good source of info.

    I like the ol' Yamaha XG perc sounds as they are really tight and bright and take effects very well. There's an excellent font of that old module here:

    http://www.sf2midi.com/soundfonts/file-detail/yamaha-xg-sound-set-re-map-sf2-3993.html

    But there are plenty to choose from on the same site and plenty of free VST soundfont players if you don't have one already, Google is your friend here.

    Or how about a freebie from Cakewalk for starters...

    Thanks, Jon. I've downloaded a couple things yesterday and will download your link too. I have the sfz soundfont player so it should fly.
