Is there someone who is already working on a project like this who I
could help out? Any direction you could give me would be appreciated.
The important part is getting the samples. If you get 24bit 44.1khz or
48kkhz WAV files I know plenty of people that would be more than happy to
turn these into proper sample files. I personally have experience with SFZ
and would be happy to contribute to putting the files together.
