Put a Donk on it!
Put a Donk on it! Posted on: 31.05.2012 by Lillia Datson Righty, does anyone know where i can find some sample packs that have this type of 'donk' to it? Here in the UK its known as 'Jackin'. Donk at 1:16 on the first vid, 00:30 on the second. Think it would be awesome to get a few donk type samples to smash out on a MIDI fighter. | |

| Lillia Datson 04.06.2012 | Its so naff, but too catchy for its own good! |
| Romelia Stankard 03.06.2012 | ^best track of 2008 |

| Lillia Datson 02.06.2012 | Yeah its pretty common here in the UK. Cheers for all the hints lads. Unfortunately i dont have any software/hardware etc that i can actually produce on yet. Just Loop decks on my S4, hence the need for sample packs. However, my appetite is whetted for producing tunes! |
| Georgina Schatzman 02.06.2012 | Guess it is an actual term |
| Leeanna Ayla 01.06.2012 | WTF?
7. Donk
A pipe/plank-sound, that is used in Bouncy/scouse house/NRG music. Hearing this sound in a piece of music, one can easily recognise the genre of music it is. The sound is most commonly placed midway between beats, in the same place as hi-hats, but can be put in other places for different effects and such. The music it is used in is usually played between 150 and 160 Beats Per Minute. When dancing, a donk commonly makes the dancer bounce on the donk beat. They're playing some bouncy donk music toevening at that club! Are we goin' donkin toevening ? |

| Romelia Stankard 31.05.2012 | Those sounds were most likely originally made on the DX7 and other Yamaha FM synths (tx81z, etc) then people probably sampled them. Should be able to replicate it in operator or FM8 or any synth that does FM with sine waves. Try a simple M:C 2:1 Sine:Sine FM sound with very high FM index in operator or any FM synth and maybe then add some distortion. Then quick attack and short decay. I'll mess with it when I get home but it definitely needs frequency modulation if you want that donk sound. |
| Georgina Schatzman 31.05.2012 | Think it's the bassline you're talking about. Very easy to make on an Subtractive synth. Just have to adjust the ADSR on the amp for more of a percussive hit. Quick attack, short decay and no sustain or release. And the adjust the ADSR on the filter to taste and you should be well on your way |
| Lillia Datson 31.05.2012 | Cheers Djdunamis, i'll check them out. Jasonbay, i spose its the bassline, the donky type of rythm it has to it. |
| Georgina Schatzman 31.05.2012 | Are you talking about the bassline? |
| Wallace Lawmaster 31.05.2012 | But to answer your question, just about any sample packs for house/techno with build-up, drops and vocals will have some. Check Beatport's DJ Tools as well. Good place for samples is Loopmasters and Zenhiser Samples. |
