Sample Request

[Mia]

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.

Can anyone tell me how to use sfARK files?

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.

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. Florestan Woodwinds is up for maximum oboe ownage. Enjoy.

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.

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...?

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.

Go to Darkesword's page.

[DarkeSword]

Go to Darkesword's page.

Yeah. Of course, you know, because you linked it and everything.

http://soundfonts.darkesword.com/

When you're pointing someone in the direction of where to find something on the internet, it's always a good idea to provide a link. DarkeSword's page could easily mean www.darkesword.com.

[Meteo Xavier]

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.

[Meteo Xavier]

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.

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.
