Jonathan Adams Leonard (aka Weirding Module) has released a free collection of samples captured from the Casio MT-68 analogue keyboard.

Great care was taken to record the MT68 with the best equipment and minimal processing so the original sound and character is preserved. All notes and beats were sampled and looped to offer the most complete virtual version of this classic synth for years to come.

The instrument is available for free download via Weirding Module (207MB download size, contains 1 instrument in NKI format for NI Kontakt 5).

The library is formatted for Native Instruments Kontakt 5, featuring 24-bit samples of the original instrument. The author has sampled each note in each preset (all of these are looped) and all of the drum beats and fills from the original instrument.

Unfortunately, the individual WAV files are not provided, so you’ll need a copy of Kontakt 5 in order to use these sounds without any limitations.
