I posted some links related to sound samples to the FreePats mailing list and Carlos suggested I share them here as well. Was recently researching a multimedia topic and happened to run across some sound sample related web sites. Thought I'd share what I found in case others might be interested. I found a cross-platform soundfont editor for the sf2 format. Looks like it's built using Qt. http://sourceforge.net/projects/polyphone/ Thousands of free sound samples specially recorded by Philharmonia Orchestra players licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License: http://www.philharmonia.co.uk/explore/make_music/ The LinuxSampler project was founded in 2002 with the goal of producing a free, streaming capable open source pure software audio sampler with high stability: http://www.linuxsampler.org/about.html This project aims to create a full orchestral sample library in the .gig format for use with the linuxsampler: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openorchestra/ List of sample libraries: http://bb.linuxsampler.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11 musescore soundfonts http://musescore.org/en/handbook/soundfont http://www.linuxmusicians.com/ linuxmusician samples: http://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewforum.php?f=50&sid=bd65ce094deb26d5c0… Recommended Sound Libraries and Where to Get Them... http://www.remastersys.com/forums/index.php?topic=1740.0 http://www.bandshed.net/sounds/sfz/ Web site to share Free music: http://freemusicpush.blogspot.com/ Best wishes.
