I think that Darren with his OMRL project plans to do something like this, there has been a long thread some week ago on this list. He began with the idea of a free/open sample-loop library but IIRC there were also talks about softsynth patches. And, if I could add my 2 cents, I think it would be great to have also MIDI loops (particulary drum loops) and soundfonts. > It may very well be that we as a community are still to small to support > things like this, but I'd like to think we have reached critical mass.
