I got, as a way to support a company that I appreciate, some Palette packs a few weeks ago.
I wrote a whole song with Neon and some synths on the Mini. They really sound awesome for the price.
Anyways that is my reminder to check them out

oh also if anyone has ideas for packs they’d love to see i’d be interested to hear in any ideas.
We will be doing more genre packs like the Neon pack etc, covering genres we haven’t already, and more tool packs (100 kicks,100 plucks etc) and some other ideas coming in the following months but if people have cool ideas i’d love to hear them!

Congrats @AlexC for the great work! The packs are awesome and personally I like the styles. In my case I find more appealing packs that doesn’t have standard sounds, that are more easy to find in or make by myself in my DAW.
I would be interested in vocal packs but I know that is a more complex approach because of the work and the styles.
The thing that I would find very appealing are packs made with the Play in mind. I have the Play + and the Tracker Mini. With the tracker is easier to import and record samples, so I find myself doing this in more occasions. Whith the Play and its folder structure… I tend to use a factory sample pack and then get other samples later. And, I find that the Palettes packs lean more for de tracker workflow than the Play.
Cheers.!

Here’s my wishlist:
Chopped drum breaks
Vocal one-shots
Unique recorded instrument packs (harp, kalimba, things like that)
Modular percussion
I’ve said this before but Palettes are quickly becoming my go-to for building a hardware-focused sample library. I’ve been frustrated with sample packs from other vendors where one sample might be tuned to E, the other tuned to A, and so on. One shot samplers don’t really have anything to account for this, so I have to take things into a DAW or manually +/- the pitch, which slows things down a lot. Folder structures can also be a nightmare–and if I’m spending ages organizing things I might as well make the sounds myself, defeating the whole point of a quick-and-easy sample pack.
Palettes has been drag, drop, and play. Not just for my Polyend gear, but for any other hardware sampler too. Everything is organized, tuned to C, and ready to go.
I’ve bought like 11 packs lol.

Can we get a Jungle pack? Love the Atmospheric pads, would love some nice drum loops, samples, etc

For me I’m more into Darkwave and Synthwave… so both clean and harsh synth sounds is always what I’m looking for … or interesting textures for ambient.

Polyend might have difficulties releasing sampled breaks commercially. Unless they wanna record their own.
…But if you’re after jungle breaks/FX/vocals/reeses, then this is the ultimate free collection: Blu Mar Ten - Jungle Jungle - 1989 to 1999 Samplepack | Blu Mar Ten

Of course, if they DID record a whole load of breaks and loops that were completely cleared for release for $10… that would be incredible.

Ha that BMT Jungle pack is beyond classic.
OK that BMT pack is new to me and looks like endless fun. Thanks <3
Any other “classic” packs across other genres we should know about

Not really that’s sort of a one off thing - lots of uncleared samples from records - great fun but you could get in trouble if you released anything using it. It’s THAT good because it’s all just nicked off records.

Nice! ^ This is exactly what I wanted. Keep em coming Alex 
Completely true about the issues releasing with uncleared samples. AI analysis is getting so good now that they can identify samples from just a couple of transients. The guys on whosampled are finding new Daft Punk samples today with the new Google song detection.
144 licensed breaks is a gem for sure, if you wanna release your music. Great stuff

I didn’t realise daft punk had “secret” samples, I thought they were one big hook per track or so but yeah never can tell. I loved the story of Mobb Deep and shook ones ptII being a Herbie Hancock loop pitched down and nobody noticing for decades.
