Red Omen Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 ^ My hero. You wanna know what's on my wishlist? 1. Euphonium. 2. Marching percussion. Does anyone have free soundfonts of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chokst~1.bat Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Cool. Up until this point, I've only been using the regular sounds that come with FL and Reason, and just altering them in whatever ways fits what I'm trying to do best. I love just making/recording my own wave files for the rest, playing around with them; and than throwing them into the mix (instruments, sound effects, speech, etc.). Even though I don't have any requests for new sounds at the moment (since I love just altering the originals or building my own; for when the defaults aren't enough), it's still nice know there's a thread devoted to posting links and formats to alternative sounds. Not sure if you guys would have anything that fits with my weird tastes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddler Sensei Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 1. Euphonium. 2. Marching percussion. I would love that more than anything. A nice, dark, clear, echoing Besson Prestige Euphonium for a soundfont. I would sample myself playing it if I had the hardware to do it.

I'd sample it myself if: - I had the hardware. - The euphonium players around here had good tone. - The euphonium players around here had more intelligence than pebbles.

zircon Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Looking for a good choir sample. Doesn't need to be intensely high quality, like directly recorded from a church choir, just fairly realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xelebes Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 There is a bunch of tracker files with excellent choir samples.... at least to my needs. They are in xi format but fruityloops opens them. I have no clue where to find them... let me google them first... http://gdream.n-zone.org/liens/download.php?id=51 not tuned, but the file names say what their tuning is.

Rellik Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Zircon, you've probably heard of Florestan; they have an excellent Aaaaaaaaah choir soundfont (I think it's just Aaah or Aah). The to half is female, lower half is male; by itself it doesn't sound so great, but it's the kind of sample that can be EQed to perfection because it is neither too bright nor too dark. I don't have a link to Florestan, but it's one of those sites that isn't too hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Guyford Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 http://216.161.143.186/bq/soundfonts/fonts.asp Some stuff. Dunno if they're good or not. I wish I had the equipment to make soundfonts... there are a bunch of excellent players in my band who'd be willing to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM Lee Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I dont really like chiors used in single melody lines because if they arent real they usually sound pretty fake. I am going to upload a soundfont i used in a mix recently, you can check how it sounds in the remiw wip other section. I think it sounds really good. Chords with soundfont chiors dont sound that good if they are in triadic form either to me. Basically i use my chior font in four part voicing style (basically a spread out chord across about two or so octaves with one note double if you dont know what i meant by four part voicing). Hope it helps, expect it tomorrow or the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rellik Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 HOLY CRAP that new String Quartet soundfont from Florestan is awesome. At least the Violin and Viola the other two are high quality but nothing special or hard to find compared to the top two, which are of amazingly high quality and expressiveness.

CC Ricers Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 I'm looking for some DJ voice samples, like the kinds DJs commonly use for scratching. I once had the one where it says "Ahhhh, this stuff is really fresh" in a sinister voice but it's gone now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 I've found some fairly good piano soundfonts at the following sites:http://home.foni.net/~winfried-hubbe/ (click the disk icon at top) http://www.musik.auc.dk/%7Ebovbjerg/piano.html http://www.gsonic.com/maestro/ (rather big piano - decent drumkit also available) http://exce.ath.cx/~route909/download.html (mirror with files from previous link as well as a larger piano in giga format and some clarinet soundfonts) Im a noob but...how do you get the piano packed in giga format to work in FL Studio? Or...is it possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NembaTheKid Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 I've found some fairly good piano soundfonts at the following sites:http://home.foni.net/~winfried-hubbe/ (click the disk icon at top) http://www.musik.auc.dk/%7Ebovbjerg/piano.html http://www.gsonic.com/maestro/ (rather big piano - decent drumkit also available) http://exce.ath.cx/~route909/download.html (mirror with files from previous link as well as a larger piano in giga format and some clarinet soundfonts) Im a noob but...how do you get the piano packed in giga format to work in FL Studio? Or...is it possible? I don't think its pssible. check the fl101 thread. EDIT: and you are not a noob you are a newbie. newbie and n00b are very different. a n00b is generally someone who is either being stupid to piss people off or someone who think he knows everything but knows very little (and therefore pisses people off). a newbie however is someone who is new to something (rather obviously).

NembaTheKid Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 on a general note, can anybody name a really solid piano soundfont? if not for free, are there any good ones for cheap? I know piano is pretty difficult to synth well, but you cant hurt a guy for trying.also, i know brass soundfonts are always tricky, does anybody have a good one they swear by? the brass on that squidfont orchestral one is good...

DarkeSword Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 then why don't you just use real wav samples? Because a sample format allows you to map wav files to a keyboard and allows you to trigger the sample with a keyboard or by a piano roll, among other things. Soundfonts can also have velocity specific samples, such as in a piano soundfont. High velocity will play a harder attack, whereas a low velocity will give you a softer sound. If you're just talking about percussion, soundfonts are nice because yes, you can program them into a MIDI keyboard, and also, percussion soundfonts often have sounds that work really well together. Stand alone wave samples are nice; I use them a lot myself, for rev cymbals and more ethnic percussion sounds, but I prefer soundfonts, because they're sounds that come in packs and they often have specific data about when to cut a sample (e.g. a CH sound will automatically cut a OH sound). Granted, you can do stuff like cutting with wav samples, but it's more convenient when you have a soundfont that takes care of all that for you.

Rellik Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Yeah... it's completely ignorant to say that WAV samples are better than SoundFonts. SoundFonts are basically stand-alone samplers; and you can't play a wave file without some kind of sampler. About the kILLER series. I know it's your opinion and all, Nemba, but personally, I find that they really suck compared to most other worthwhile synths (yes, they're worthwhile, as in they don't just sound like crap and crash all the time, but I find that they're almost totally useless and have lackluster sound). I'd really like to hear a demo with these used well to prove to me that they are actually useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
