1. Purple Slush Lofi Beats & Sample Pack, With 25 Serum Presets

Price: $12, Samples: 353, Presets: 25, Total Size: 884mb, Royalty free: Yes

The first on our list is, the best lofi sample pack available: Whipped Cream Sounds Purple Slush Lofi Beats & Sample Pack.

With over 350+ unique, exotic and vintage samples that are entirely royalty-free and highly quality, Purple Slush is one of the best lo-fi sample packs out there.

With everything music producers need to create awesome lofi beats, from addicting chord loops, to inspiring melodies, drum one shots, a lofi MIDI pack & more – Purple Slush has got it all.

The entire pack was made using original foley sounds, processed and layered with sound design techniques to create, real, electronic-style drums for Lo-Fi production. And, if you want to learn about how to make similar sounds from scratch, we have an entire tutorial that goes over the same processes used to create the pack.

Using this pack has generated so much inspiration + new ideas, and has even been given testimonials from huge lofi producers in the scene too.

We’ve personally used the pack in a lot of our productions, with some being released on small SoundCloud labels, gaining 20k plays on SoundCloud and 10k plays on Spotify.

The beauty of the sounds is that they are very versatile to similar genres of Hip Hop and electronic music. And we’ve personally used them to make interesting productions that aren’t considered lofi hip hop.

Here are some examples of the Lofi use of this pack:

It’s not much, but without the packs, the ideas wouldn’t have been as easy to generate and it wouldn’t have been as easy to get into the full-creative flow state.

It’s one of the best value-for-money packs out there, coming in at only $12 for a tonne of cool stuff, and a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Also, in case you’re not sure you want to get the full, flagship sample pack, we released an awesome Purple Slush Lofi Freebie for you to download and check out, with 100+ sounds included (all royalty free).

2. Purple Slush Lofi Serum Presets

Price: $7, Samples: 37, Presets: 25, Total Size: 74.1mb, Royalty free: Yes

If you don’t want to go the full way and purchase the entire lofi hip hop sample pack, there’s also an option to grab the Serum presets.

Inspired by chill, & lo-fi music producers like, 53 Thieves, Purrple Cat, and the popular study/sleep/chill to 24/7 lofi girl playlists – Purple Slush lofi Serum presets will help make your music production sessions easier and provide you with inspiration.

The Purple Slush Lofi Serum preset pack pushes Serum to its sound design limits, creating beautiful, analog, warm & vintage presets, that sound good without any extra processing.

You can load up a preset and start writing melodies without extra mixing and mastering, and it will sound good. However, as you continue to add tracks, you will need to eventually create space for them using EQ etc.

Here is a melody we personally created using the pack without additional processing. It’s extremely warm, and sounds very analog and dissonant which is fantastic for weird and wonky lofi beats.

Another example of the presets can be found in the main chord line, melody and bass in this track we made using all elements of Purple Slush:

Alongside the presets, you get an additional bonus pack that includes organic sampled instruments that you can use for layering in your own sound design, which is especially useful in Serum when designing keyboards, guitars etc. which require a more organic sound.

This is a bonus when learning sound design because you additionally follow along with our how to make sample packs from scratch tutorial, which covers exactly how some of the patches in this pack were made.

Also Whipped Cream Sounds are one of the only companies to offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on all their products (even if they’re digital downloads).

That’s because we’re so certain that music producers will love our lofi sounds, that you won’t want to return them. If you don’t love the presets, or our lofi sounds, then there’s always the option to send them back no questions asked.

3. Purple Slush Zero – Free Lofi Beats & Sample Pack (Free Lofi Sample Pack)

Purple Slush Zero is the little brother of our awesome flagship Purple Slush Lo-Fi sample pack. It’s one of the many useful free downloads we offer here.

With over 100 Royalty Free Lo-Fi Samples, featuring authentic and versatile sounds, from awesome FX, to beautiful melodies, chord loops, and even serum presets, this is the perfect toolkit to get you started with lofi hip hop production.

Each sound is perfectly crafted for that analog, lofi style and it does a great job at capturing the kind of sound you would expect from old hardware gear. We personally love the selection of hats, foley and FX that are included.

The foley is great for adding that background warmth to your tracks and re-creating noise you would get from old analog hardware. Combined with the warping, chorus-y, dissonant melodies you can create some very unique tracks.

You get 10 sounds of each category, so for instance:

• 10 drums

• etc.

We also personally used Purple Slush Zero to create these tracks:
