Of interest to freebie instrument makers might be the nsynth sampleset. Google company Magenta has created a 'synth' that takes sonic qualities from 2 different sounds and combines them. As part of this project they have chromatic samples in 5 velocity layers (25,50,75,100,127) from about 1000 instruments in their database. About 300,000 samples total. They are Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International. While I and others have asked about these samples on the discussion board, there is no information as to the sources. However my feeling is that since it is Google and they have the dataset licensed, if the samples are a problem it is Google problem and not mine as long as I use them in good faith and give attribution correctly.

My Kontakt instruments are here, since they use .wav files you can download them and mess with the waves directly. This might give you some idea of the sound. The dataset samples are all in a big lump of various sizes depending on which dataset you download, so using my collection of 440 or less samples for each instrument might be easier than a massive dataset. I haven't changed the samples in any way.

I also have done 4 VSTis with them so far....
