After downloading, do not sort the samples by BPM. Umru specifically recorded many of the sounds at freeform tempos to avoid quantization grid stiffness. Use the "Raw" files as is, and warp them manually.
| Category | Typical Content | Best For | |----------|----------------|-----------| | | Short, punchy, often distorted with heavy compression; some pitched kicks. | Hyperpop drops, fast BPM genres (160–200+ BPM). | | Snares & Claps | Layered, metallic, or noise-heavy snares; some have reverb tails cut short. | Tight, aggressive backbeats. | | Hats & Cymbals | Electronic zippers, glitchy shakers, short and long hats (often pitch-bent). | Rhythmic complexity, off-grid feels. | | Percussion | Random foley hits, rim shots, glitch clicks, laser-like percussive stabs. | Fills, drum breaks, texture. | | 808s & Bass | Sub-heavy with distortion, some mid-range presence, short decays. | Low-end support without muddying fast tracks. | | Synth Shots | One-shot chords, brass-like stabs, bit-crushed leads, chip tune hits. | Accents, melodic hooks. | | FX & Risers | Reverse hits, white noise sweeps, glitch-up risers, abrupt stops. | Drops, transitions, tension. | | Vocal Chops | Abstract, pitch-shifted, chopped phrases or nonsense syllables. | Ear candy, melodic layers. | | Loops (Full & Top) | Drum loops (full kit) and top loops (hats/perc only) at varying tempos (typically 150–180 BPM). | Quick sketching, inspiration. | Splice Sounds - Umru Sound Cache Vol 2 -WAV-
Forget your standard 808 snare. Umru provides percussive hits that sound like industrial machinery, flicking pens, and digital glitches. These are perfect for adding texture to a boring beat. After downloading, do not sort the samples by BPM
umru - sound cache vol 2 sample pack is a collection of high-quality files released by Splice Sounds on February 15, 2019 | Category | Typical Content | Best For
A wide array of 808s (21), keys, bells, and unusual brass/woodwind textures. Percussion & FX (130 samples):
The only downside? The melodic loops are relatively short (usually 2 to 4 bars), but that is by design; Umru wants you to chop them up, time-stretch them to double speed, or reverse them.
