    Felt & Fog by Renger Koning Now Available for Free on Decent Samples

    Renger Koning has released Felt & Fog (Free Edition), a cinematic piano sound library available as a free download on the Decent Samples website. This is a scaled-down version of the full Felt & Fog collection and runs inside the free Decent Sampler plugin.

    Felt & Fog is a minimalist, ambient, and neo-classical piano library created for composers, producers, and sound designers who seek warmth, depth, and evolving textures. From intimate piano themes to atmospheric layers, this instrument offers expressive tools for a wide range of musical and cinematic applications.

    Six Expressive Layers

    • Felted Piano – A soft, intimate upright piano with felted hammers.
    • EP Ambient – Dreamy electric piano tones processed with ambient shimmer.
    • The Fog – Lush, stretched particles that blend into an ethereal mist.
    • Octave Swarm – A more dynamic, octave-layered variation for dramatic movement.
    • Minimal Swarm – Repeating, understated notes for subtle motion and ambience.
    • Glass – Harmonic overtones and resonances for added depth and mystery.

    Sound Design Tools

    Each sound layer includes mute and volume controls, plus effects such as chorus, LPF, HPF, delay, and a convolution reverb with seven custom presets. An ADSR envelope allows for detailed shaping of each sound.

    This library works with the Decent Sampler plugin, available in VST, VST3, AU, AAX, standalone (Windows/macOS), Linux (Intel 64-bit), and iOS AUv3/Standalone formats.

    Free Download

    Felt & Fog (Free Edition) can be downloaded on the Decent Samples website.

  • Impact Soundworks Releases Free Orchestral Hit System: HIT for Kontakt Player

    Impact Soundworks Releases Free Orchestral Hit System: HIT for Kontakt Player

    Impact Soundworks have dropped something fun, unexpected, and surprisingly useful: Orchestral Hit System: High Intensity Transients (OHS: HIT). It started life as an April Fools’ joke, but it’s 100% real and totally free. Best of all? It works with the free Kontakt Player.

    Big, Bold, and Hilariously Effective

    This isn’t your typical orchestral library. OHS: HIT takes the idea of the classic orchestral hit and runs with it—fast. Each section of the orchestra is condensed down to a single, dramatic articulation: THE HIT. No complex keyswitches or expression maps—just instant impact, perfect for cinematic accents, dramatic stingers, or tongue-in-cheek nods to the 90s.

    What’s Inside?

    • Eight tutti sections: Strings, Brass, Winds, Timpani, Bass Drum, Cymbals, Synths, and Piano
    • Two dynamic layers: Forte and Fortissimo—because who has time for subtlety?
    • Multiple octaves where possible
    • “Stretch Last Note” mode to relive those glorious pitch-stretched ROMpler days

    So, What’s the Point?

    Honestly, it’s part joke, part nostalgia trip, and part genuinely useful tool. Whether you’re working on an epic trailer, scoring a video game, making retro hip-hop, or just want to add a bold splash of drama, this thing delivers. It’s tongue-in-cheek, but it’s also sampled and scripted with the same care as any other Impact Soundworks release.

    OHS: HIT is the kind of instrument that makes you laugh when you load it—but then you end up actually using it. Go ahead and grab it. It’s free, it’s fun, and it hits hard. Did I mention it works within the free Kontakt Player?
