But I'm not sure it's what you look for, as it's tracks from recording session (so it's possible to sample them, and so on, but it will take quite a time). However, we (we=the ammd) 're currently working on a (really big) samples pack that we're recording by now. It will include drums, basses, guitars, ofcourse, but also bunches of reeds and horns, and harpsichord and organ (including church). We plan to spend at least one year through France and Europe to record all of this on our studio. Actually, the very first part of this pack is a GMS drumset. It's been recorded last week, and we plan to make it ready in a sample "shape" for the new Tapeutape release, so that one can use it as a rhythm box. We'll let you informed about this.

Any other suggestions? Would quite like some decent synth and particularly bass sounds. Don't mind paying for them. James

I think the old Emu Emulator III sample bank CDROMs are excellent. A lot of work went into those sample-banks. Until I recently re-fired up my EIIIxp, I forgot just how nice they were (and how nice real hardware sounds and plays). The 2Mb samples of strings, pianos, instruments, percussion are very musical, responsive, w/ a lot of thought to modulation control for expressiveness. Ones I have: #11. Elements of Sound 2mb collection #12. ESI-32 150MB Production Soundset #13. Dance 2000 #16. Twenty Six Studio Drum Kits and Percussion ESI-32 Many of these are now available for cheap: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=+EIII+cdrom The "NorthStar" collection http://www.northstarsamples.com/ProductIndex.html is awesome if you can afford it.... I wish there was a way of loading these pre-existing sample banks into a linux softsampler or translating into soundfonts. Of course, you'd invariably lose a lot of the useful programming (filters, envelopes, multisamples) that went into engineering these "pro" samples, in conversion. Are there any linux softsamplers that can access the massive library of pre-existing samples. Or Linux sample translators equivalent to "Translator Emulator X Convertor, by Chicken Systems" which will convert "Akai S-1000/3000, Akai MPC, Emu EIII/ESi/Emax, Tascam GigaStudio 1 + 2, SoundFont, Native Instruments Kontakt 1 + 2, Steinberg HALion I and I". Or best of all, an open-source version of the "Emulator X3" http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?category=501&subcategory=168&am… :-) Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: or you can just sample frozen lakebeds, solar winds, and spaceweather: http://silentlistening.wordpress.com/2008/05/09/dispersion-of-sound-waves-i… http://cse.ssl.berkeley.edu/stereo_solarwind/sounds_examples.html , and http://spaceweatherradio.com/

I got most of those from the Proteus set when I bought a MIDI keyboard that EMU make. (the XBoard 61) It was a looong time ago that I activly used them, I had to load them in EMU's prop software thingy to use them (so I didn paste them to me buddies and that they could use them.) But since I'm linux I havent used them. Can test them next weekend if you like? Provide some quick audio samples? Cheers, -Harry On Sun, Apr 18, 2010 at 5:50 PM, Joshua D.
