Project Pegasus is a free collection of dreamy analog arpeggios, lush strings, huge pads, and ambient soundscapes crafted by Bryan Lake, aka Sound Author.
The free download link is located at the end of this article.
The Library
Project Pegasus offers a diverse palette of warm and spacious sounds that are ready for use in Kontakt 5 or any WAV-compatible sampler.
The sounds were built from scratch using various virtual synthesizers and real-world instruments and processed with both internal and external studio gear. Bryan has used various sound mangling and re-sampling techniques to create a variety of rich ambient pads and some fantastic arpeggio sequences.
The library contains over 100 individual instrument patches, covering a broad range of cinematic and ambient sounds, ranging from huge dreamy soundscapes to classic analog pads and earth-shaking bass samples.
Project Pegasus is a cinematic sound library that is perfectly suitable for use in cinematic scoring and ambient soundtracks.
Still, most of the included pads and soundscapes can be used across various music genres, such as electronica, experimental rock, and dubstep. Feel free to experiment with these samples and layer them together to create even bigger and more complex soundscapes and pads.
The Artist
Bryan Lake, aka Sound Author, is a composer and sound designer based in Florida.
He published a number of free sound libraries and NI Reaktor ensembles on his website, including an outstanding free soundbank for the legendary Synth 1 virtual instrument.
Technical Details
The sounds in the instruments folder include pads, keys, bass samples, and leads. They are suitable for polyphonic playing. The sounds in the atmospheres folder are mostly suitable for monophonic playing.
The arpeggios will automatically sync to your host application’s tempo. The root note for the arpeggios is C2, and the sound quality will deteriorate significantly as you move further away from the root pitch.
The included Kontakt 5 patches require the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt. The pack contains 122 individual Kontakt 5 patches. The disk space required to use the library is 294 MB.
Content
Project Pegasus contains 122 audio samples in 24-bit WAV format. The included samples are sorted into three different folders. The pack contains 19 arpeggios, 50 atmospheres, and 53 instruments.
The samples are perfectly looped, and you can easily load them in any WAV-compatible sampler instrument. Each sound from the pack comes with a corresponding instrument patch for Kontakt 5.

Hy, tx too, amazing samples…
You can find the Project Pegasus Maschine Expansion
Thanks Odie! I’ve noticed you’ve been making Machine libraries for a number of sample sets here on 99Sounds. Very helpful indeed :)
This is amazing, thank you so much.
Hey thanks so much for the sounds – they’re great!
I’m trying to add the library to my Kontakt 5 but its telling me there’s no library – is that correct?
I can drop the .nki file into ok but would like to a library tab etc….any suggestions?
Hi Ken, thanks for the kind works! Yes, these are only provided as NKI patches – no library included (making a library requires an expensive license from Native Instruments). Simply drag and drop the individual NKI patches into Kontakt to load them, or use the arrows to browse through the patches.
This is amazing, Bro! Thank you so much!
You’re sounds are absolutely amazing and just what I needed! You’ve helped me out so much, I must remember to donate once I’ve got the funds! Thank you so much, I really can’t thank you enough…
Thanks Sophie!
My God these sounds are BEAUTIFUL and AWESOME! I will make sure to STILL give credit as to where I got these amazing samples from! (\(^.^)/) THANK YOU Bryan Lake!! God Bless You!!
Thanks so much Devin! Comments like yours mean a lot! Have fun!
I’m getting an error saying my Kontakt is out of date. Is this pack not compatible with 5.3?
Very clever and generous, thank you
it s doesnt work for me is ask me to activate the demo time out what can i do ?
You’re using the free version of Kontakt which will only allow 15 minutes of play time. To remove the limitation, you should upgrade to the full version of Kontakt.
Or just convert 24 to 16 bit .wav in Audacity and pop them in the DS404… =Free sampler for free sounds :-) If on slow+expensive data plan & 212MB is impossible, try the [related] 60kB Synth1 bank on KVR because it’s INSANELY good! Google “KVR banks and patches Synth1” because they’re a bit lost on the actual site.
Yeah, seriously grateful Bryan: you’ve saved me a fortune in mind altering / expanding / sedating drugs with these… I daren’t layer them or add reverb because I think I might totally slip this dimension!
