Hyperpop has emerged as a dominant force in the digital music landscape, characterised by its high-energy, glitchy, and often pitched-up vocal aesthetics. For UK-based music producers and enthusiasts looking to experiment with this genre without financial commitment, several platforms offer free sample packs. These resources provide essential building blocks such as drum kits, melodies, and vocal chops, all of which are typically royalty-free, allowing for commercial use. This article outlines the available free hyperpop sample packs, their specific contents, and the methods by which they can be accessed.

Rocket Powered Sound offers a specific "Hyperpop Starter Pack" designed for immediate integration into music production workflows. The pack is explicitly inspired by artists such as 100 Gecs, Angelus, and Alice Gas. According to the source, the samples are 100% royalty-free and provided in high-quality .WAV format. The delivery method is user-friendly, utilising a drag-and-drop mechanism compatible with various Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) including Ableton, FL Studio, and Logic Pro.

Output: Co-Producer Plugin and Library
Output provides a different approach to accessing hyperpop samples through its "Co-Producer" AI assistant and the Arcade library. While Output operates on a subscription basis, it offers a free trial period.
The Co-Producer Tool Co-Producer is an AI-powered plugin that analyses a user's track (e.g., a hyperpop banger) and serves up royalty-free samples that match the track's key and tempo. It is designed to remove the need for "crate-digging" by recommending sounds that fit the specific project. To function optimally, the plugin must be placed on the master track or main output to analyse the entire session.
Trial and Subscription Options Output offers a free 7-day trial for Co-Producer. There is also a limited-time offer for a free 60-day trial on Co-Producer for users who already have "Arcade." The subscription plans detailed are: * Yearly Billed: $79.99 for unlimited access to all samples and new updates. * Yearly Billed (Premium): $119.99 for unlimited access to all samples, instruments, updates, and plugins (including Portal, Thermal, and Movement FX plugins). * Monthly Billed: Access to samples and updates is available on a monthly basis, as is the premium tier including instruments and plugins.
Sample Content The Output library contains specific hyperpop elements described as "pitched-up vocals, glitched-out drums, and supersaturated synths." Examples of available samples include: * Caprese Synth: Crunchy, sharp synth jabs with a digital bounce. * Crushed Pluck: Heavy synth pluck with a hyperpop bounce. * Jacked Synth Lead: Jacked topline with a digital pop bounce. * Leaving Vox Chop: Glitched, stuttering vox with a hyperpop pulse. * Runaway Vocal: Silky, fleeting vocal with a hyperpop drive. * Save Me Vocal: Rich, pleading vocal with a glitchy pop feel. * Bigbendy Lead: Elastic, driving synth with a hyperpop punch. * Outrageous Synth: Daring, ethereal pad with a hyperpop pulse. * Outrageous Hook: Audacious vocal line with a glitchy pop bounce. * Venomous Synth Melody: A wailing synth lead.
All sounds in the Output library are confirmed to be royalty-free, meaning they can be used in commercial tracks without clearance worries.
