I am going to spend a little more time, on my lunch, making the whole thing more accessible by getting the file names to be descriptive rather than numbers.

It'll be a totally organized half-quality sample set.

Somewhat disappointing about the quality, but still possibly useful for me at least.
nice one, what are you gonna do...host a zip with all the samples ?

the quality of the samples doesnt bother me in the slightest, a bunch of lo-fi samples to add to your lo-fi library, is better then a kick in the face. am i right ?

Sometimes you need something with a little more grit, and this delivers. This is good for the roll-your-own-Mellotron-sounds. Cool link!

Symphoniasamples1.Zip

This is them without descriptive names. I had something else to do at lunch, so you'll have to wait if you want the full workover on them. THey are just in directories according to how they were on the site currently.

Second set is uploading now...

It's fairly ugly, but they have already done a lot of the work.

You can extract useful info from the code their web page gives you to "search" for each sample. So, instrument, entonation, etc.

Thank goodness for regular expressions.

The names will likely be long, but descriptive. I still have to double check how they laid things out - the samples are all simply by instrument, but you can search by note or phrase. They did so much work on things, I think there should be few files without names.

FUN!

Looks like around 50% of samples for most instruments end up labelled by using the info on their website, but it's a nice big chunk of them. They are getting the once over now and I'll put them up in a bit or tomorrow.

Note of interest... dig through some of the unlabelled ones. There's one in the violin folder that is a person staying "set back" or something like that. I also heard one that sounds like the player didn't like his performance - he says something despondent right after hitting the note.

They mention working on their database some, so maybe they are still in process. They mention that they will have packets available one day - so maybe this will all be easier then.
