Since I'm such a pack rat, I thought I would make good out of my obsessive compulsive nature and post the list of URLs that I've run across that have either sound samples or sound fonts. Most of these are sites I've only visited once, so you will have to sort out the licencing for yourself... http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/ http://www.hammersound.net Follow the FluidR3/Hammersound link at bottom right http://www.fluidfonts.com/ http://www.purgatorycreek.com/ http://www.personalcopy.com http://www.natural-studio.co.uk/sampled.htm http://www.soundfont.com http://www.toontrack.com/index_samples.shtml http://www.soundcreationsinc.com/splendid/ http://www.thesoundsite.net/ Not sure if the drum samples can be used in other projects... but you might want to download this excellent drum machine. http://hydrogen.sourceforge.net/ Click on "MDK - Machinae Drum Kit sample pack (rar)" http://www.machinaesupremacy.com/discography.htm Gig files and file converters... Gig files http://www.worrasplace.com The "To-Be-Wined" FREE version of Chicken Systems Translator! http://www.chickensys.com/downloads/translator_free.php libgig comes with a couple of command line tools.
