Thanks to our friends at Logic Pro Expert for spotting this one. Yamaha Synthesizers Europe yesterday released a 900Mb pack of free DX7 samples on their Facebook page as well as Yamaha CS80, DX1, DX5 and CS40M samples too.

The download includes Plugin Boutique’s free Zampler sample player for Win/Mac, but unfortunately it’s 32-bit only. To use the free DX7 samples in Pro Tools, Dennis from Logic Pro Expert recommends trying Plogue’s Sforzando, a free 64bit sample player that can handle SFZ, WAV, SF2 and DLS files. Once you are done, you’re good to go back to the eighties.
