Sample Request

[Bren]

DISO a high quality symphonic bass drum (soundfont, wav, whatever works). I need a higher quality sample of the drum in this song:

Dominion of the Ghost Pirates (http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/bbennett/dominion%20of%20the%20ghost%20pirates.mp3)

Hear how it sounds really synthetic and metally? thats because I had to lower it more than 1 octave to get the tone I was looking for.

[<rudra>]

Anybody know where I can get slide guitar soundfonts? I know it's weird, but I have got some GREAT source material that're just dying for slide guitar!

[Darlos]

Anyone know where I can get a realistic-sounding music box insturment?

[Chern]

I would like some good distorted guitar samples, all the ones ive found don't sound that great.

[-RK-]

OK, this is more of a request on how to sample sounds out of games using emulators, particularly little grunts the character may make when swinging a sword or a spell sound or chime or something. So, how do I sample sounds out of games using an emulator(Zsnes).

[Tossy]

I have just checked ZSNES and it doesn't appear to have an option for writing outputed audio to disk. But that's just fine, assuming you're using Windows (because it's what I use).

Go into your Windows volume control window thingy. Go Options -> Properties. Select the radio button called "Recording". Make sure "Wave" (or similar) is checkmarked in the below list. Click OK. Now, under "Wave", make it selected. Now your computer will record all wave output.

Open a program that records sound--sound recorder will work just fine. Start recording. Then just go to zsnes and make whatever sound you need.

The one problem is music... which is more than likely there. I don't know if you can disable music with zsnes, but I don't think you can. Try another emulator maybe?

[mightymarg]

In search of a vibraphone. Same sound as the one in When It Falls by Zero 7 or Instant Death by Beastie Boys.

*edit* Listening to When It Falls I guess it's not a vibraphone, probably an e-piano. I would still like to have an e-piano like that. And still the vibraphone from Instand Death.

[Tossy]

Check one of the many links posted that included soundfonts. I'm sure you won't have trouble finding a good EP (it might be called just a Rhodes)

I have a General purpose sound font called Musica Theoria (it basically replaces the general MIDI instrument library with much better sounding instruments)... it contains (in my opinion) a quite good sounding Rhodes E. Piano.

[Tossy]

As a bit of trivia, I believe the E Piano is quite similar in design to the vibraphone. The E Piano strikes metal bars that vibrate too, but the vibrations are picked up by EM pickups and then amplified.

[analoq]

or better yet, get the mda ePiano (http://mda.smartelectronix.com/synths.htm) vst rather than use a soundfont.

i like Zero 7.

cheers.

[Spool]

i'm looking for a good acoustic guitar soundfont. something that sounds similar to the "plucked!" generator, which is what I am currently working with until I find a decent soundfont.

[ArseAssassin]

http://personal.inet.fi/urheilu/fsf/dryeguitar.zip

Here's a dry electric guitar sound I found from a Finnish music board. You'll have to add the distortion effects yourself, but if you know what you're doing, it'll definitely sound better than a synth.

Try looking through http://www.buzzmachines.com if you lack of proper distortion effects.

[Palm]

Just to alert everyone searching for decent samples that there is a new release of the Titanic Soundfont, now v1.2. It's slightly larger than the previous, with total unpacked size about 275MB. One of the largest and highest-quality GMGS sets available, this new revision features several reworked orchestral instruments (trumpets, violins, etc) as well as revised pads and synth leads.

The font can be downloaded from http://www.titanicsf.com.

[<rudra>]

Palm, this is great! Thanks sooo much for posting that!

[LAzee]

I have a hard request. dont know if any of you remmeber, the early ridge racer/ridge racer revolution days or techno music. And i wanted to know does anyone have any of the samples they used in the songs? they heavily sampled alot of stuff and i only have about 5 samples. I am really looking for the one that says in a male voice"all people on this earth are truly one" and others, like vocal samples, anything you can do will help.

BTW, prodigy used alot of the same samples on their frist CD. so if anyone can h elp me with these samples i would be most greatful.

Holy crap! Not even the Soundblaster Card has enough cache to run this thing! Beware folks, beware!

EDIT: Actually, if you have the skill, be prepared to cut the sf2 file into a few smaller peices using the bank manager in Vienna. There are some instruments in there you may or may not need.

Okay, I have decided that I want to try some orcheastration. But I have no Idea about what to look for sounds wise. If anybody knows whether it is better to use soundfonts or samples for orcheastral songs, or has any links to some really nice samples/soundfonts that could be useful in an orchaestral song, That would be sweet. Thanks!

Get on over to Darkesword's soundfonts site.

Download "squidfont." That's a great start there.

Be forwarned, however; Squidfont is generally only good for strings, unless you really know what you're doing with the other sounds. ^_^

[CC Ricers]

Anyone have links to some good piano samples? I can only find two decent ones in my computer. Yeah, I know, it's embarrasing :?

And how do you open .sfpack files and import them into FL Studio?

[zircon]

.sfpack is a soundfont compression format. You need to download the sfpack utility to decompress them into .sf2 files. Think of it like zip or rar.

Good piano samples? Search for "1-Giga Piano", that's one of my favorites. NS Piano, by Natural Studios (makers of NSKit, one of the most popular free drum kits) is another good one that's a little softer. You might also consider the steinway grand soundfont I have up at the SoundTempest resource section (http://www.soundtempest.net/).

What's more important than the sample, though, is how you use it. For piano leads, you should try to humanize the velocity or even record the part with a MIDI controller if it's sounding too mechanical. The piano samples I mentioned are also dry, so room/hall reverb is a must. You might even consider applying compression or EQ to further sculpt the sound. It all depends on the context of the piano part.

[Miku]

Anyone have a good techno/trance drum soundfont? I need something like that... or do people use VSTs for techno drums? :?:

[Xelebes]

We use samples and vstis for techno drums - what kind of techno drums are you looking for? Glitchy, Tribal, funky-techno, Hard?

[Miku]

Iono, interested in a variety of different styles, but at the moment I'm mostly looking for some typical dance drums. Especially trying to find a good strong hi-hat sound, one that how do you say, has some meat on it. A good full sound. Realistic drum soundfonts don't seem to have this, I mean the type heard in dance music.


Also, I'm looking for some asian / Korean sounding instruments. I'm going to remix Ancient Groover (http://members.cox.net/leggiero/20.mp3) from Ragnarok Online and I'm looking for some sort of flute and string instruments reminiscent of the ones used in it.

[zircon]

Download my drum packs at www.soundtempest.net, in the resources section. Included are all the classic drum sounds. What you want are 808 and 909 drum samples, basically, which are readily available almost anywhere.

[Miku]

Thanks.

As for the korean instruments, I downloaded a shakuhachi font, and it seems like it'll do the job for the korean bamboo flute thing. Trying to find a good silk string instrument sounding thing. I've downloaded a shamisen soundfont, and it sounds alright. http://www.sf2midi.com/index.php?page=sdet&id=3763
But I'm trying to find one that sounds a little more.. metallic I guess. What would be really nice is one where it sounds considerably more twangy and metallic on higher velocities.

[Chris McGee]

Can anyone tell me how to use sfARK files?

[zircon]

sfARK is a compression format, like sfpack. Thus, you need the sfARK utility to decompress them. Search for it on google, it's easy to find.

Request: If anyone has a SID sf2, could they please pass it my way? (And I dont mean the crappy drumkit one...I dont like that one. No, I mean the one with the warbling noises like the one in Gecko Yamoris "SID of rage")

[Xelebes]

Use QuadraSID VSTi or use a simple synth with a lofi after it. Works really well.

[meisterikkit]

I'm looking for the instrument in the background of Goron city in Zelda 64. I'm not sure, but I think it's called monkey. It almost sounds like one, at least.
Anyway, iirc, it's the third instrument to start playing. I'm not sure though.

thanks!

I just did a supersmall update to soundfonts.darkesword.com (http://soundfonts.darkesword.com/). Florestan Woodwinds is up for maximum oboe ownage. Enjoy.

[Cerd_Fen]

Okay, I need a soundfont, so I guess this is the place to request it...

Does anyone know where I can find a decent triangle sound/soundfont? I could really use one...

[Palm]

The percussive section at http://hammersound.net should be able to get you hooked up with a good set from one of the many drumpacks there.

Otherwise, search http://www.sf2midi.com for triangle. you'll probably get a whole bunch of GM sets. I recommend downloading Cadenza or Merlin if you don't have them already. I'm sure one of those has a decent triangle sound in the percussion. If you find it, you can just cut the instrument out using vienna.

[Xelebes]

Look it up at KvR-VsT, though you'll have to pay for it. Best bet is to use SimSynth in FruityLoops to do it, using a LoFi set at 8-bit to do the whole authentic sound.

Go to hammersound.net and pick up...I think its called "Vintage dream waves 2" (I'm not sure which of the synth sections it's in...but you have a choice of three, so it wont be too hard to get).
Alternatively you could AIM me or something and I'll see about passing them over.

ohhh, I hate paying for things like that :s
Y'know, cause it'd be a one-off use...and I'd probably discard it after that >.<

[Xelebes]

Look up free VSTi at KVR-VST that allows you to change the width on the pulse. That's all you really need. Heck, check out the ymVST. Does a real nice Atari ST emulation.

[Aundario]

Hey does anyone know where I could get Soundfonts for Styx's synth pads and such, like in Come Sail Away. Something like that, nice and breezy. Thanks for the help.

[Aldebaran]

Another Request:
Could someone please sample me some strings from Roland and/or Korg soundmodules? Please...? :oops:

Thanks in advance!
.

[Meteo Xavier]

I just got Fruity Loops, so I definitely need some good samples, I'm not sure what works best with Fruity Loops.

I need:

Piano
Flute
Pan Flute
Organ (Church, drawbar, almost any kind)
Choir
Violin
Acoustic Bass or Fretless
Guitars
Bells
Harpsichord
Harp
Any good Fantasy-like synth sounds.

I greatly appreciate any help that can be provided. I think WAVs. work for the best for it, but I don't know.

If you know any good places, please email me at MeteoX9999@aol.com. Thank you very much.

I recognize that name. You did a Secret of Evermore mix of Hall of Collosia on VGMix, am I right? That was a great remix, and an inspiration to what I'm working on now (sadly, the results are not the same...)

So how do I get soundfonts to work for Fruity Loops? I'm not familiar with them at all.

The answer lies here, answered several times. A bit of reading and scanning will be required to find the pertinent information. (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7588)

Yes I realize that would've been more convenient for everyone, however time is not of my side.

Thankfully, Darkesword helped me out, and my problem is solved.

[CC Ricers]

Looking for a shamisen sample, something that sounds dry, preferrably. It's hard to find good ones and the one previously posted in Miku's link isn't good enough. Perhaps someone that has Japanese music would be kind enough to rip a sample?

[SSB]

I need a good, full, loud and obnoxious sounding trumpet and trombone. Think of the kind you would find in a ska song, as that's what I'm making a mix of. Orchestral ones just don't quite cut it.

[DM Lee]

Play with your eq my friend, youd be surprised what you can do.

Also, the reason for ska sounding so different is the way its played. Ska is meant to sound live. Unless your really recording its gonna be a tough challenge. If you want your brass to sound a little honkier (that obnoxiousness) you may want to try boosting the 250 hz range a bit. At least, thats if i remember right. Also, you can try adding slight flange or chorus or something like that to give it a slightly more human feel. Get used to editing the amp envelopes from note to note. Ska is just waaaay to real to easily recreate digitally. Its like guitar stuff. Its just better to go live.

[jordex]

Hey I was at hammersound.net and only 1 out of 5 soundfonts actually worked

[zircon]

Very true, unfortunately. But you can find some good stuff there nonetheless.

[Meteo Xavier]

Am I insane, or are Soundfonts on FL supposed to have sort of a tinny sound to them? I went to Darkesword's page and downloaded the Setzer and Harp soundfonts, but IMO they don't have a good clear sound to them.

(And I will accept insanity as a possibility, I woke up this morning and found I was eating toilet paper. Its a really long, but ultimately amusing story.)

[Chris McGee]

Does anyone know of a nice, crisp electric organ sound? Like, the kind they used in the 60's?

FL has nothing to do with it. It's probably the way you are using them. Almost no soundfont sounds good by itself; you NEED to use effects, especially reverb, to make them usable. It's absolutely essential.

[Meteo Xavier]

Thank you once again, Mr. Zircon

[Claado Shou]

I'm looking for a very particular instrumental soundfont, one of a silk-stringed violin. I know of the silk-stringed instrument, the erhu, but that's not the one I want. Here's an example of the one I mean:

http://www.soundclick.com/util/DownloadSong.cfm?ID=1538156

That's from the movie Hero, which comes out in theatres Friday (sneak peek!). If anybody has any suggestions...

[GrayLightning]

I highly doubt you'll be able to find that in the sample world. Your best bet is probably the erhu or another asian type violin/fiddle. You'll have to spend money for them too - whatever free ones are available are most certainly crap.

[Xelebes]

Does anyone know of a nice, crisp electric organ sound? Like, the kind they used in the 60's?

Well, if you can resolve the VST issue you are currently experiencing, I recommend the Phibes VSTi.

Get squidfont at http://soundfonts.darkesword.com/.

[mightymarg]

Any way to cure the distance that the squidfont seems to create? It just sounds too far in the background for me. Is there maybe a solo soundfont that sounds good layered?

[ArseAssassin]

Usually distance is created by adding some filtering and/or stereo separation. Since Squidfont most likely doesn't have any filters applied, you should just make it completely mono.

[DM Lee]

the sounds are just quiet in squidfont from what I remember.

Throw on a compressor with no compression at all and just up the amp until the sounds to the level you want :D

[Blue Magic]

Does any one know where i can find alot of nature sounds fonts like bird tweets, thunder, wind, and water sounds?

I've been looking all over for stuff like that, but it is really hard to find high-quality stuff.

A calliope font would be nice. I also need a banjo, if anyone knows where any are.

[MoonSaultKid]

Howdy. Long-time visitor, first-time poster/remixer. I'm looking for a pair of SF2 SoundFonts - a bright acoustic piano and a string ensemble. I've tried a few piano and string samples that were listed on http://www.hammersound.net/ but several of them weren't tuned properly (for instance, I'd try to play an E-flat, but wound up hearing a G-sharp instead).

Still fine-tuning my first remix, and I'll (try to) submit it to the site once it's good and ready.

Others- Pretty hard to find a good sounding guitar soundfont. They don't end up sounding real because there are a lot of factors that go into how a guitar sounds...

I used "Ovation" and "ProTrax Classical Guitar" (one is nylon, one is steel) for quite some time as SF2. I'm using other resources for guitars now (sample packs or a real one), but I'm sure you can still find it over at Hammersound. "Ovation" is like 4MB bi (RAR) and ProTrax is like 7,4MB (RAR).

Don't trust the feedback at Hammersound, though. Most of them said "bah... bad recordings", but if you add a bit more presence and "know" how to play, you won't get anything better for free.

[DM Lee]

I was messing around with ovation the other day and it is very good. all you need is the proper eq, reverb, and velocity adjustments and note placement (i get the feeling most of the bad reviews are from the people who would write a guitar chord with every note hit at once and shit like that lol)

You just have to think about how it would sound if you were actually playing the song on a guitar. how your hand would hit harder on the bass strings on the way down and harder on the high strings (and missing the low strings practically) on the way up.

Strumming... hahaha... good luck, but it can be achieved well enough to fool some people so give it a try. and again, not much your gonna find better for free so listen to compy.

[DM Lee]

I need a woodblock, one that can sound good in about a 2 octave range.

i do believe there were some fonts at hammersound...

people really should at least try to look for sounds before requesting them... i cant believe somoene actually requested a nice piano on here a page back lol, if you dont find what you want at hammersound check google. I know theres a like 120 meg piano font floating around the net.

I really miss the soundsite though, that was my friggin heaven. The best soundfont site that ever existed :(

I wish i could find an archive or something from them.

Or no background info how a guitar is build and played. The chords on a guitar may "sound" the same as those on a keyboard. But the keyboard uses less notes at the same time.

You just have to think about how it would sound if you were actually playing the song on a guitar. how your hand would hit harder on the bass strings on the way down and harder on the high strings (and missing the low strings practically) on the way up.

Glad that the archives are still active:
Simulating Guitar Strums (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=30486)

In this topic I wrote something about "how" to simulate strums and the anathomy of a guitar. There're even some demo samples in there. One with Ovation (afaik, not EQed however, this is why it sounds dull).

I used the Ovation and ProTrax guitar in one of my latest WIPs, but please don't ask me to post it as it isn't nearly finished. The feedback from guitarists and non-guitarists however were very positive and almost all of them asked "what samples did you use" as I send them the demo.


You see... those samples can't be that bad. Even if they're smaller than 10MB (RAR packed). It only counts a little bit of patience and "eager to search for things" to it to find really good material. Sometimes I feel the same as DMLee that most of the requesters are too lazy and await "spoon-feeding". Oh well...

[Xelebes]

Some more drum samples for those interested. Aimed more at the hard trance sound, these kicks are pretty decent. A bit iffy on the snares.

Does anyone know where to get a sound from sonic the hedgehog? I wanna get a "bling" ring sound from it and can't seem to create it myself...

[square-x]

Square-X, what kind of rap?


'Dirty South' sounding I guess, it's gonna have loud bass.

[Compyfox]

@DJ Zenith:
Try to get "Sonic R" for PC (or at least a Demo), it has some original Sega Samples as *.wav in it. (among them the classical "ring collecting" sound)

Or try to record it via an emulator with the BG switched off - or the soundmenus you can access. The Dreamcast and GameCube games "Sonic Adventure" also have a sound menue who have the same classic Genesis sounds, too. (you can find that at "options").

[Klay]

<_< I could really use a decent bagpipe sound...

Celtic music isn't complete without one.

If you're doing dirty south, all you need is an 808. If you're using Fruity, they have both 808 drumsynth and a vintage pack...

[onionringofdoom]

I could use a really nice Tuba sample. Like a big full-sounding one that you would hear in polka songs.

[GeckoYamori]

I'm in need of good ambient sounds, like rain, wind, running water and stuff. I'd prefer ordering a high-quality sample CD to downloading separate sounds.

[sadpickle the exalted]

Just a question... why does everyone stroke it to Squidfont? I don't see what the fuss is. Case in point? Listen (http://tsg.avalanchestudios.net/music/squidportrait.mp3) to these strings. Am I the only one who thinks that sounds like crap? No effects added to eximplify a point. Oh yeah, the other instruments are missing notes, because the samples don't run the full range of the instrument. Brilliant.

There's your fucking problem. :roll:

[Compyfox]

Exactly... you can do a lot with Squid if you know how. Look at some older stuff here at OCR where the Orchestra parts were made with Squid (I guess even Kaijin used that one). Everything sounds a bit flat if it's raw. But right EQed and the right delay/reverb and you're set.

Hell even my EMU Virtuoso (hardware orchestra synth) needs effects layers! Or the EDIROL HQ Orchestra... without Delay (do let it sound more wide) and reverb (to let it sound deep), and best if you stack it to like 4 subgroups, you simply can't expect to get an outstanding effect.

Besides... you can't expect a Viola go into the range of a Cello. Think about how an orchestra is built up, then bitch around again.

And if you want something without effects, get samplepacks for 400+ bucks and upwards! But if you want something for free... live with it and find a way to shape your sound to the desired level. 'nuff said.



EDIT:
And if you still don't like Squid. There're still tons of other "free" SF2s out there in the orchestra section. Use the search function from the board as I mentioned this sometime. We can't spoon-feed everyone. Some little researches are also important.

I've heard this said (re: poor sound quality) said about Reason's samples as well, but with effects and EQing, they can be tweaked well.

Here's a dumb question. Does anyone have guidelines to make these things "sound better"? I confess, I'm still new at this all and I still need to develop my ear, but any knowledge would be more useful than none. This is a slightly (actually, a pretty dramatically) OT question so if it is let me know and I'll start a new thread instead.

Thank you for your attention.

Exactly... you can do a lot with Squid if you know how. Look at some older stuff here at OCR where the Orchestra parts were made with Squid (I guess even Kaijin used that one). Everything sounds a bit flat if it's raw. But right EQed and the right delay/reverb and you're set.

I've heard this said (re: poor sound quality) said about Reason's samples as well, but with effects and EQing, they can be tweaked well.

Here's a dumb question. Does anyone have guidelines to make these things "sound better"? I confess, I'm still new at this all and I still need to develop my ear, but any knowledge would be more useful than none. This is a slightly (actually, a pretty dramatically) OT question so if it is let me know and I'll start a new thread instead.

Thank you for your attention.

There are tons of resources here at OCR on how to make your stuff 'sound better', just search around and EXPERIMENT. But I'll say this for now: a little reverb goes a long way.

[Compyfox]

Do researches. Simple and easy.
With this you can understand how an orchestra works, how the ambience is, how everything is set up and stuff.

Most samples are recorded RAW or as clean as possible. Now how does this sound in a concert hall? An orchestra has rules, instruments have rules, different rooms have rules. This is the thing that you want to fake and you have to work on.


I won't spoonfed here as I had to learn this for myself and it worked really well in other productions for understanding what to do and what not. We even had some topics about mixing, EQ, orchestra and stuff here at OCR. You just have to search. And if this doesn't help: books... or go over to "Sound on Sound" online and search in the article archives. (you can find at least 3-5 articles about that there)

[Xerol Oplan]

I need a woodblock, one that can sound good in about a 2 octave range.

i do believe there were some fonts at hammersound...



It says there's some on the index page but when you click on the link there isn't any on the sub-page. Four pages of google and I couldn't find one that wasn't either a broken link or a proprietary format.

I guess I could use one from a GM soundfont. Recommendations?

[DM Lee]

are you looking for a woodblock you can pitch up and down?

You'd probably be able to do this if you just find a wav sample of a woodblock and just pitch it how you want.

If you can't find a good sample, then go to hammersound and check through a lot of the drumkits (i dont mean just look for a woodblock drumkit, i mean look at the regular drumkits that may have woodblocks in them) until ou find a good sounding woodblock then make a single strike of the block at like 280 bpm so you can get a short sample (should give a smaller file size this way) and just export it to wav and use it this way. (make sure you have the volume adjusted because the wav sample will be at the volume exported but then when you load the sample the channels volum will be down to 75% or whatever again.

[JH Sounds]

I need some good-sounding wind.

Not that WHOOSH stuff, but a subtile, whistley breeze.

[DM Lee]

by a cd from target or walmart or the wherehouse or something in the sounds of nature series and there should be one fo them to do with wind and then just rip the audio. As soon as I get my new computer this is the route im going to go and im gonna have samples up the wazoo as far as nature sounds and animals and thunder and water and etc

[Ether]

Half the links from this topic are dead. ;_; Sad, too, cause I could use them really badly.

Well, I'm looking for a good Glockenspiel. :) AND, a really good Concert Bass drum would be REALLY helpful. :D Thanks.

-a cool dance snare like that of "Nessaja"(from "Scooter") :wink: THX guys!

[Navi]

Hmm, I know it's highly unlikely that I will find any of these soundfonts free, but I am going to ask anyways. Does anyone know where I can find decent quality soundfonts of any of the instruments from Hero? Kodo drums, "oriental" sounding strings, chinese lute, etc. Thank you!

[Compyfox]

Forget it to find an outstanding Kodo (Taiko) for free. There is one from Roland with around 100k (I guess it was from the SR88), but this is a synthetic one. One of the best Kodo samples I've ever heard were in the "Heart of Asia" AKAI CD pack for like 300bucks, that is also included as "light version" in the (I gues it were the) Spectrasonics Packs (the CDs for like 50-100bucks each) with only one layer though.


But I at least know for sure that Hammersound and sf2midi has some really good asian samples (handpercussion, strings, flutes and stuff). So check out those pages too.

[A-RoN]

Ever since SMW Ghost was released I've been inspired to start learning to sequence brass with midi. I'll start by requesting some soundfonts that are close to the very high quality that Nixdorux uses. So does anyone have any suggestions for free high quality brass and sax soundfonts? I'd like to use something different besides what's on Darkesword's page for saxaphones. I'll create my own thread (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1227635#1227635) asking others how to sequence brass using midi.

I've been looking for this pizzicato for almost a year... Cant find it anywhere.
I do have found a pizz which is almost similar to it but not that clear sounding as the one i need...
Im talking about that dark Pizzicato string from
the Yamaha PSR-530 Keyboard ...

Can anyone please tell me where i can get a Soundfont of that pizzicato?
Or if there's someone who owns the Yamaha PSR-530
I would really appreciate it if you can put the
pizzicato in a SF2 file...

PM me .. Thanks alot, Paragon (Chaoz)

[Terrisare]

anyone know a good place to get some free flute samples? Im think of just a traditional flute, but if you have something cool, feel free to share :D

[Israfel]

The flute that's included with cadenza isn't too bad. Kinda heavy on the vibrato, but it's pretty useable and one of the better freebies. Cadenza can be downloaded at http://www.hammersound.net

anybody?

[Zantor]

I'm looking for a soundfont or soundbank that is an ECW file designed for a SB PCI 128, and is better than an GM/GS waveset version 5.x. I want something that can improve the quality of my 128 b/c it's my best card so far and I believe that it is capable of more, but it just needs the proper files in the right format.

Erhu:

Finally! I've been always looking for ethnic instrument samples (especially those from a Chinese orchestra), though to little avail. I have an Erhu and a Di at home, but can't really play it well enough to sample my own. (In the case of the "Di", it's a rare occurance for me to even make a sound :P). Unfortunately, the Erhu seems to be the only non-percussion instrument they have a soundfont, but it has so many articulations that I'm well satisfied for the day (they even have some sfxes that can made w/ the Erhu). Thanks a lot, man!

[Miku]

I'm looking for some drum samples that sound kinda.. iono.. industrial, dirty, something like that. Something like in SGX's Kick Your A (http://www.ocremix.org/detailmix.php?mixid=OCR01156) and Beatdrop's Strip Mine (http://www.ocremix.org/detailmix.php?mixid=OCR01214). That and/or pointers on how to get that sort of sound with processing and whatnot.

Speaking of which, what exactly is drum layering? I hear that all the time but I'm not sure what it is. Is it what it sounds like it means, i.e. different drum samples playing in unison?
EDIT: Zircon answered that question in another thread. I was right in my assumption, hooray.

[Miku]

=X nobody?

Just a link to a site where I can get drum samples in general would help too. Preferrably not soundfonts, but if I have to I'm sure there are programs for extracting individual samples from soundfonts.

[GeckoYamori]

They work, but the USA II and Canada mirrors are almost always down, or maybe they're just gone. Yeah...there are some on there I've never been able to get. I don't think that site is maintained anymore.

Gecko, I think I can help you out with the Eddie Murphy laughter, actually. I have a copy of Beverly Hills Cop on DVD...it'll just take me a little while to rip that particular clip.

I need:

A website with some drum samples/loops

An owl hooting

[jordsau]

Anyone know where i can get some good middle-eastern vocal samples? t'Thanks!

[Uncle]

A website with some drum samples/loops
Doru Malaia has some great one-shot drum samples (as well as loops, though they may or may not be drumloops); they are WAVs which can come packaged either in ZIPs or ReFills (for all the Reason users out there). Check it out:
http://www.dorumalaia.com/freerefillswavsamples.htm

Also, BreakBeat Paradise (www.breakbeat-paradise.com) has a fairly large sample library, which sports both drumloops and drumkits (available as compressed WAVs), among other samples one might find handy. Don't let the name fool you; they have samples useful for many genres, such as Trance, DnB, RnB, House, Hip Hop, etc.



As for me, I'm looking for drum samples to use in Industrial music. Anybody know where I can get some for free? If industrial is too broad of a term, I have in mind stuff like DarkeSword's "Stranger In the Desert" (release available at VGMix) or the Phazon Mines BGM from Metroid Prime, though anything you would consider industrial is welcome.

[EDIT: I PMed DarkeSword about his samples; they're available at www.soundfonts.darkesword.com as a soundfont. Now I need to find a way to extract samples from soundfonts.. help please?]

[Hikui]

Hey.

I found some Final Fantasy soundfonts that have all the instruments and samples used in those games. I got the FF7 and FF8, so I was wondering if there any soundfonts for FF9+.

Hello again, I've been requested to do an industrial/hard rock song (without vocals), and I need some decent guitar soundfonts (distortion, overdriven, any decent ones that can work with Fruity Loops) and basically some ideas and suggestions on HOW to construct an industrial/hard rock song.

I got a good start going (with an Industrial drum set and a Distortion guitar from the Setzer SPC bundle, both from Darkesword's website), but I don't know much about how to get that industrial sound, Chord progression ideas would be helpful too.

Thanks plenty.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone would happen to know where I could get some solid synths, specifically such as the one used in the beginning of Protricity's DKC2 Forest Birdcussion song. If it helps, that synth sounds pretty much exactly like it does in the game, and I'm wondering if either that synth or soundfonts of the game can be found over the internet. Thanks.

[Wallace Guyford]

Exactly... you can do a lot with Squid if you know how. Look at some older stuff here at OCR where the Orchestra parts were made with Squid (I guess even Kaijin used that one). Everything sounds a bit flat if it's raw. But right EQed and the right delay/reverb and you're set.

Hell even my EMU Virtuoso (hardware orchestra synth) needs effects layers! Or the EDIROL HQ Orchestra... without Delay (do let it sound more wide) and reverb (to let it sound deep), and best if you stack it to like 4 subgroups, you simply can't expect to get an outstanding effect.

Besides... you can't expect a Viola go into the range of a Cello. Think about how an orchestra is built up, then bitch around again.

And if you want something without effects, get samplepacks for 400+ bucks and upwards! But if you want something for free... live with it and find a way to shape your sound to the desired level. 'nuff said.



EDIT:
And if you still don't like Squid. There're still tons of other "free" SF2s out there in the orchestra section. Use the search function from the board as I mentioned this sometime. We can't spoon-feed everyone. Some little researches are also important.
maybe he's talking about how the clarinet is puzzlingly missing the F#. At least that's my main beef with it.

[Argitoth]

I'm looking for one big soundfont or NN-19/XT refill for Reason which includes all instruments.
String, Percussion, Brass, Woodwind, Synths, SFX, Choirs, and maybe ethnic instruments.

Basically I'm looking for something like the setzer's SNES soundfont except a bit higher quality... as in not the restrictions of the SNES. Something that is basically what an old midi keyboard would come with or what any cheap midi program would have. It would be as if I was trying to make midi-sounding music without using a midi program (like Reason).

Anyone know of anything like this? Is there any way to use default midi soundfonts?

[Arcana]

I'm presuming that you want a General MIDI set in a soundfont?

Try:

I've never used it for actually making music, but I used the PC51 soundfont to try to improve the quality of my General MIDI playback through my SB Live!.

[Uncle]

I'm not sure what your problem is, Argitoth. Are you saying you can't find the default MIDI soundfont or that you don't know how to use it in Reason.
If you wanted to know where you could find the default soundfont, I can't really help you, but if you have it and now just need to know how to use it, you're in luck; I was having the same problem not all too long ago.. NNXT can play sf2 files. Load it up as you would a normal sample.
Also, Redrum can load up sf2 files as well. Load the sounds individually like they were wav files you wanted to insert into a kit.

Yeah... I'm human by myself and need help too.

You see, there's this nifty Roland XV5080 synthesizer that I can't afford at the moment (1200 bucks is still a lot of money) and I fell in love with the oldschool sounds. So much for the intro.

I'm not only looking for a VSTi with similar sounds (will post that in the specific thread too, so don't worry) but I'm also looking for samples from some specific drumsets. Especially the acoustic kit, the RUST Kit (boy how do I love this) and all other HipHop Kits in that device.


I already tried the Roland XV5080 Refill for Reason but this is basicly the acoustic only (and I don't want to rewire Reason just for this specific term). I've also searched at the most known SF2 pages but couldn't find a fitting drumset for my needs.

If you know a page where to get the samples, or you have a XV5080 and can sample for me the RUST Kit from it, this would really help. If you can't find anything, don't bother - I'm sure I'll find a solution (wit heavy compression and saturation). It's just that I'm lazy at the moment. ;)

yea im lookin for sirens too, ejay had a nice siren sound

also, im looking for the square sound from the character naming song from earthbound, also the theatrical pads from that song

tanks

I know that song really well... do you mean the staccato square ostinato that plays throughout the song? That just sounds like a short square note being played with delay.

As for my request, I've been messing around with 3xOsc for a while and I haven't come up with a good Hoover sound. Does anyone have any presets/soundfonts to make this sound?

The instruments that come in around 1 minute marker

The hoover sound would probally work best, hope you finish creating the sound

also for the pads, the closest one i found is on a korg triton midi keyboard with the instrument named "theatrical pad"

[Patrick Burns]

was going on a marathon sample search and came across this:

probably been posted already, but it's a very helpful place

[Hikui]

Hey does anybody know where I can find a solitary raindrop or a water droplet sound? I am making some RnB remixes and I need one. I have searched for a while online and on file sharing programs and I find one. I would be awesome if someone could help. Thanks.

edit: Some good examples of what I am looking for is in the beginning of the "Fluss de Liebe" FF7-Lifestream ReMix that's here or if anybody listens to RnB, SWV made a song called "Rain" a little ways back that has exactly what I am looking for.

I'm looking for a very high quality piano sf2. I've heard of one called gigapiano~1 but, I can't seam to find it. Anyone have a link?

[Spc1st]

[Synth]

#15 (http://www.soundfonts.it/?a=soundfonts&c=1#1)
The one i'm looking for is about 200mb.

[Spc1st]

Hmm, are you sure it's the soundfont version? I have a gigasample piano that's about that size, though it's not theGigapiano. The biggest one I've seen is this Clavinova (http://www.guraydere.com/soundfonts/sfdetails.aspx?kat=1), which is about 120mb. Sorry.

[richter]

Looking for a flute like the one heard in The Lonely Shepherd (http://www.paletteswap.com/misc/TheLonelyShepherd.mp3).

If nobody has any good ones, how about some advice on how to make a standard flute sound like that? If anybody wants to go all out, feel free to post an example here:

Thanks! And feel free to flame me (and link me) if this has been requested before..

[friendlyHunter]

I'm looking for the sound of a TV or monitor turning on and off. That's pretty much it...

[Bren]

Ill be damned if I ever get a response to this:
(from locked thread)

This may be a bit of a stretch, but what Im looking for is an audio clip (preferably low quality recording) of a fighter jet pilot talking to HQ via radio.

For example:
"Pilot contacting mission control requesting takeoff" "Roger that pilot, permission granted, you're good to go"

If you know where I can find an audio clip like this, or if you know of a movie/documentary that would definitely have it, please let me know (if you post a response in this thread, please PM me)

[LooPKiD]

back again..
this time:

- a guitar with some fret noise on it.. (prefer a acoustic guitar, but still any guitar wil do).

Thnx in advance.

EDIT: Can also anyone provide me with some nice Siren samples? of a good place where I can find them?? I need a really strong siren, like war sirens for example...

Thnx again. :roll:

And here I go again quoting my own message, so peepz look @ it again plz :roll: :oops:

Double quote :roll: for the ones who missed it.. . :?

Oh Lord, triple quote :roll: :?

and as for sirens, http://www.findsounds.com has a bunch of siren clips, they might have what you need

[Meteo Xavier]

I need to find some better quality soundfonts. Ones with more memory in them to help them sound better. Most of my tracks come off as bastard children of the Final Fantasy VI/VII OSTs.

[Xerol Oplan]

(Off-topic) You can also just select the soundfont on the tree, and drag it into an empty spot on the step sequencer(or overtop an exsisting sample/soundfont).

(on-topic) I probably missed it, but I went through the first 10 pages looking for an organ and didn't see one. Preferably a set of organs so I can pick what I want to use, if anyone knows of any.

(semi-on-and-off-topic) Anyone want to help me go through and catalog all of the links in the thread and then maybe we can talk to someone about getting them put in a single post so people don't have to search through the whole thread to find something? We can divide it up into like sections of 5 pages if we get enough people, and this would really help reduce duplicate requests.

Guys i'm looking to buy some ethnic Asian vst's or soundfonts, but i don't know where to look or what to look for :?

Something that sounds like the instruments played in the mgs remix by Reuben Kee it starts playing at 2:00. http://www.ocremix.org/detailmix.php?mixid=OCR01322
Is there any vst the produces such a clear quality, I’d appreciate it if you can point me in the right direction.

Hi, I've been pointed in the direction of some piano VSTs among the forums a couple of days ago, however due to the crash the links were wiped out.

In other words... can you please link me towards some good piano sounds? Thanks :)

[GrayLightning]

Do you mean free or do you have a budget. Most good piano samples are around $200. There's several very good piano soundfonts out there for free.

http://www.guraydere.com/soundfonts/

I recommend the Clavinova v1 or 2. With proper playing, processing and mastering it can sound amazing. That's if you want a softer more intimate sound.

If you want a sharper, jazzier/pop sound http://www.naturalstudio.co.uk/ns_piano.html this one's pretty good also.

These are significant upgrades to what you used on your submission, so...Have fun. :)

Unless I get a job sometime soon, they'll have to be free 8O

But hey, the samples you provided me seem to work nicely. Took a while to figure out how to use them, but it's all fine. Maybe I could play around with these while putting together the overall touches on my next piano work.

Thanks, man. :)

Thanks also GrayLightning. These will definitely come in handy.

Also, I'm looking for a nice slow bar chimes sound. Not like a single chromatic bell but the kind that percussionists have with their drum kits that sound like wind chimes. The slower the better. I've found some samples but they are really poor quality and I want this sample to be able to stand essentially on its own in the song. Thanks!

[GrayLightning]

Do you mean belltrees? I might have a free one I could share. I would need to look for it first before I can tell for sure. But unfortunately most of them are indeed fast strokes. You would need to either pitch shift it or timewarp it to get the intended effect you're looking for.

Yeah, belltrees. Hopefully I wouldn't have to slow it down too much. I just rememebred where I heard a really great one on OCR and coincidentally its GrayLightning's Return of the Pheonix (http://www.ocremix.org/detailmix.php?mixid=OCR01309) mix. Right at the beginning are some beautiful chimes. A free sample would be great but I'd be willing to pay for one if I could be pointed in a good direction.

Small world. That would be a plain ole windchime, in this case I used Reason's default Orkester with heavy processing (a bit of pitch shift down, time shift to slow it down further, a little bit of delay and double reverb of space warp, and then a hall with finally automated stereo delay + panning).

I think I have a free wav of something similar. I'll need to find it when I have time. I'll pm you about it tomorrow.

I'm looking for soundfonts/samples of some ochestral percussion. I don't know what to call it, but you can hear something similar in the Final Fantasy X OST ("17. Aeon Battle" on the 4th disc). It's the loud and epic percussion throughout the song.

Sorry I couldn't describe it clearly enough (not really musically inclined), so here's a 100kb sample.

The percussion sounds like Timpani drums and cymbals. Orchestral is not exactly my forte so I can't be too specific but there are some decent timpanis in the Squidfont Orchestral soundfont on Darkesword's soundfont site (http://soundfonts.darkesword.com/). Those drums are common enough that you can probably find some good free ones in the percussive or drumkit section of Hammersound (http://www.hammersound.net/) also.

[LooPKiD]

[Wallace Guyford]

Looking for a theremin sample. I have a VST so far that does the job, but it doesn't sound authentic enough. I think it's probably the best I'll get, but I'm just wondering if somebody knows where something better might be located.

Sorry it took a while, I've been busy. I've uploaded the first version now in 256kbps mp3 and wav format. ChimesA.mp3 (http://www.geocities.com/thegraylightning/ChimesA.mp3)

Edit: Geocities keeps invalidating the wav format. If you really need the wav format I could send it to you directly. The high encoding of the mp3 sounds good though. ;)

I'll try to put up more free chime variations or kinds when I get the time.

[Harmony]

Thanks Gray, the .mp3 sounds great and should work just fine. For anyone else interested, there are some nice windchimes in the Roland Orchestral Percussion soundfont on the site that Gray posted a while ago: guraydere.com (http://www.guraydere.com/soundfonts/sfdetails.aspx?kat=4). They sound good but they are already preprocessed with some reverb and panning.

Free ethnic samples, especially ones as uncommon as those, are not easy to come by, if they even exist. I recommend slapping some dough down and purchasing some.

I've stumbled upon an interesting ethnic soundfont a couple of days ago (www.sf2midi.com). Once I get home, I'll try to find it and post the link.

I wondered if anyone who has a Yamaha P200 (or possibly 250) keyboard, could make a soundfont of the Grand Piano 1 and EGP 3 (I think it's 1 & 7) put together, or of just the EGP 3. (7). Or, if someone has a soundfont that sounds like that combination, maybe could point me to it. thanks!

Could anyone reccomend a good magazine that comes with sample CD's? I know of a few, but subscriptions to these are expensive, so If I could get any reccomendations, it would be appreciated. To me, the content of the magazine would be just as important as the quality of samples usually included.

I just figured I'd post in this thread because my request is mainly focused on the samples.

Thanks for any reccomendations.

[Arcana]

Not really a samples request, but I figure some of you might know.

Does anyone know how I can unpack sfpack files on Mac OS X?

Apparently, the sfpack author has mysteriously disappeared as well, so a lot of people are concerned about the sfpack format. In any case I found a program for "sfark", but no sfpack files.

In the meantime I will fire up my old PC to unpack the files but if anyone knows an easier way I'd be ecstatic to hear about it. Thanks!

[snoble]

The only thing i've found is sfark, not sfpack, sorry. I'll keep looking though...

Also, can anyone make or does anyone have soundfonts that sounds like these two keyboards?

I REALLY need..

Strings (violin mainly) that sound good and don't have a long attack time. I have some decent sounding soundfonts for strings, but none of them can do anything faster than a quarter note without being cut off entirely because of the attack time.

Clean sounding trombone/trumpet/french horn/any orchestral brass. I have a few, but of course, they just don't fit what I want. I have squidfont but those don't do much for me. I have that 'joshua melodic trumpet' but I can't seem to get that to produce the sound I want, no matter how much I change the equalizer or add effects.

The sound I'm going for is something for an orchestral piece.

That's all for now. Thank you for whatever you may so graciously give me.

Papelmedia has some nice strings with a fast attack (papelmedia.de). There's also a nice wide string ensemble at sf2midi.com called "Strings2.sf2".

For brass, visit projectsam.com. They offer great brass demos.

Hope that helps.

Hi. this is a sample request. I need a sample of background noise with lots of machines running or something, like in a factory or something like that. :)

Does anyone here have a sample I could use ?

Thanks
I have a few crowd samples (http://www.wam.umd.edu/%7Eblbush/Crowd.zip)from a soundfont that I found somewhere that are ok. You'll have to loop them because they are relatively short. I could send the soundfont which alreay has the looping also if that would be better. I would also check findsounds.com (http://www.findsounds.com/). Sometimes they have just what I'm looking for.

[ChloroPhil]

Thanks Harmony...but that's not quite what I was looking for. The samples I found on findsounds.com seem to be more of the applause persuasion. I want something more like, the sound of an army yelling as it charges.

I appreciate the help though, thanks.

I'm currently in the planning stage of my first remix, and for the first part I need a few sound effects. I'm looking for them myself ATM through Google, but a nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

The sounds I need: Various chainsaw noises
Walking/running on grass
Panting and heavy breathing as if someone's running
Male voice shouting "Oh God help me!" or similar
Blood splattering or suitable surrogate
Ripping through flesh
Any help, as said, would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for a nice distorted guitar sound, but wet distortion. Very ambient, and relaxing kind of distortion, not metal. I tried changing around the FL Slayer samples but they're not really what I'm looking for. A guitar with wet distortion which will work well in ambience

Hmmm... I'm on vacation right now, but when I get back in a few days, I could try and dig some up, or maybe even record some on my PC at home. Not promising anything though. You could check www.findsounds.com. That's always a good site for samples.

Oh, and I'm still searching for mags. Anyone?

Anyone know a good harpsichord soundfont?

Apparently this never got answered, and I'm looking for one myself right now. (Search turned up nothing useful.)

I'm a fan of Campbell's harpsichord soundfont. (hammersound) You could also try the one in Titanic SF, which is pretty good if I remember.
