Well, when I said that, I was referring to samples of extended

samples of individual instruments. In fact, samples of
individual instruments are exactly what I was looking for (and
mostly failing to find).
That said, here's a few I did find:
http://www.virtualbassplayer.com/music.html
(down and on the right, there's one-shot samples of
a few basses)
http://www.midiworld.com/sounds.htm
(various links off that page had some individual instrument
samples)
http://internettrash.com/users/sampledirect/
(some acoustic drum samples there)
http://www.samplenet.co.uk/
(a fair number of one-note samples, but you really have to hunt
for them; and no instrument is really complete)
http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/MIS.html
(only orchestral instruments, but they're all done in detail)

Where might all these samples be ? A few of us are trying to put together a free and open
General
MIDI compatible set of GUS pats, initially, in a way that the
raw samples can be built up into SoundFonts or even small light
weight gigasamples, or instrument patches of any kind.
That would be cool.
Please excuse the blatant plug
No prob. Thanks for the heads-up.
