List of free sample libraries

[kmlandre]

Hi All-

Some more freebies I've been meaning to post, but have been to lazy until now:

http://www.microforj.com

That'll redirect you to a Google AppSpot site, which will have to do while I get the Google Domain redirect crap worked out...

Anyway, the instruments (all Kontakt format) available are:

• Van Houzen Trumpet - Based on the U of Iowa samples.
  
• Fiedler Tin Whistle - Based on somebody named Fiedler's public domain samples.
  
• Mourning Violin - Mercilessly stolen from the evil genius behind SSO... ;-)
  
• Melodic Sopranos - Works best in lower volumes as it gets a little crackly when it gets too loud.
  
• Samulis Recorder - Generous plopped out on Freesound.org by our very own Samulis several years ago, I believe.  Contains an alto, soprano, tenor, and bass recorder.  The last three are just pitch shifted altos, but it's surprisingly effective in this case.
  
• Westerkerk Carillon - Public domain samples from a museum site I found a while back.
  
• Keyed Fiddle - Someone on VI Control posted these a while back and I thought they'd made a great ragged fiddle sound.
  

If you find anything useful and good in these libraries, it's because of the samples themselves and Big Bob Villwock's (RIP, Bob) WIPS scripts, so all credit is due to the appropriate parties...

Enjoy!
