Well, when I said that, I was referring to samples of extended passages, loops, bass lines, and the like; I wasn't referring to samples of individual instruments. In fact, samples of individual instruments are exactly what I was looking for (and mostly failing to find). That said, here's a few I did find: http://www.virtualbassplayer.com/music.html (down and on the right, there's one-shot samples of a few basses) http://www.midiworld.com/sounds.htm (various links off that page had some individual instrument samples) http://internettrash.com/users/sampledirect/ (some acoustic drum samples there) http://www.samplenet.co.uk/ (a fair number of one-note samples, but you really have to hunt for them; and no instrument is really complete) http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/MIS.html (only orchestral instruments, but they're all done in detail) > A few of us are trying to put together a free and open General > MIDI compatible set of GUS pats, initially, in a way that the > raw samples can be built up into SoundFonts or even small light > weight gigasamples, or instrument patches of any kind.
