Gigabot 2: Notes 2
Gigabot 2: Notes 2 is the second pack in a four-part collection of NES-style 8-bit sample instruments inspired by the music of Mega Man 2, capturing the focused, forward-moving energy of its late-game soundtrack.
This pack draws inspiration from the Dr. Wily stages and the iconic Stage Select music, reflecting the sense of anticipation, determination, and momentum that defines the final stretch of the game. It includes driving leads, steady bass instruments, and short stab patches suited for forward-moving melodies and transitions. It also includes a selection of 8-bit drum sounds for backing beats.
This pack contains:
- 9 Instrument Patches
- Formatted for Kontakt • Ableton Live • FL Studio • EXS24 / Sampler • Maschine • MPC • TAL-Sampler
- 86 8-Bit Note Samples (lead, bass & stab)
- 14 8-Bit Drum Samples (snare, tom & hi-hat)

More Sound Info
All of the core sound types associated with the original hardware are represented across the instruments in this pack, including the full range of pulse wave widths, the triangle wave, and various noise types. The drum samples include multiple snare and hi-hat variations created using noise synthesis, while the tom sounds are built around the triangle wave, with most also combined with a pulse wave to create a dual-tone effect.
