Free Sample Libraries
We intended to gather here on our servers a collection of free
instruments and samples. If you made some and / or want it to be
mirrored, please let us know! As reference for the demo tracks
we used LinuxSampler without any effects and a
MIDI recording of Chopin's "Fantaisie Impromptu Nr. 4" (Opus 66).

chromatically sampled to maintain the tempered tuning. The samples
were recorded with two Neumann KM84
microphones, disposed in X/Y, with 5 velocity layers, and weighs
932 MB ! The piano alone, without release samples, weighs 887 Mb and
440 samples. The release samples are 352 and weigh 45 MB. You can play
with or without them.

The demo plays through each of the sounds in turn: "M400 Violins",
"M400 Violins Yes EQ", "M400 Violins Smooth Ryder EQ", Cello,
followed by demonstration of the five double-bass notes on the
Cello sound, String Section, Mk II Strings, M300A (violins),
M300B (solo violin), Mk II Brass, GC3 Brass, Mk II Flute,
Woodwind2, Combined Choir. There then follows a demonstration of the
low-pass filter, which is swept using the modwheel, using the
"M400 Violins" sound. Notice the tapes running out: the Mellotron's
seven or eight second note length is preserved as the samples are not
looped. The filter is manipulated again briefly to find a nice setting,
before playing a pad part using the "M400 Violins". The final part of
the demo uses a short motif played with the filter fully open again,
first on the "M400 Violins", then String Orchestra, M300A (violins),
M300B (solo violin), Mk II Brass, GC3 Brass, Flute, Woodwind2 and
finally Combined Choir. No processing of any kind was used, except
Linuxsampler's in-built low-pass filter, where noted above.

OpenOrchestra
This project aims to create a full, free orchestral sample
library in the .gig format for use with LinuxSampler. This
project is still quite new (created 2007-11-05) and there is a
lot to do, so participation is very much appreciated!
