Thanks for the sounds!

Renoise did not like the XML within the turkdrum.xrni kit. Seems to be related to some unexpected characters in some of the sample names, so I manually repaired the XML to fix those characters.

Perhaps you can update the pack with this working version:

Theres some really nice kits here,but why is there so many versions of the same kit under different titles?Also i hate kits which dont start on middle c but i suppose thats a preference thing :ph34r:

Ok, thanks, already replaced the file and upload it again the whole package.
I made the conversion with extreme sample converter, here a small video demo:

is really easy to use and can import any type of sounds format and export direct to Renoise format.

Here another bank,
GM Prg 57= trumpets

GM Prg 66= Alto Sax

About the drumkit question, many are developed from different brand, like Roland and Korg.
Some basic sounds are the same but will change the layout and sounds from the percussion layers.
with Linuxsampler we use the sounds mapping LSCP preloaded, where for each Prg - Variation is linked the correct sounds.
Under drum mode we have the basic 14 drumkits mapped as standard Roland program change, for that when we play in realtime one midifile, the linuxsampler play the all correct sounds mapped on the midifile, GM/GS mode.

Anyway, if you like this sounds I can upload some more, if you dont need, less work for me :)

Im extremely gratefull for all the sounds,but the duplication and slight variants of samples in kits is extremely annoying and from a workflow point of view slows everything right down to a grinding halt,with each kit containing a huge number of samples,its very very difficult to handpick from the sample map the unique samples that pertain to that instrument and re-arrange accordingly,to me it would actually be easier if you just shared the samples and i create the kits by hand.The turkish percussion kit is brilliant!!

Excellent trumpet and sax kits,i have a question for you though since i am god awfull terrible at recognising pitch,if i play a middle c on my keyboard here will that corrsepond to the note in the kit?in other words if i press a middle c will the kit actually sound the correct pitch

thanks!! sounds great, already used in a song ;]

thanks. these are dead good!

ok, here another nice gift… :)

this are a big set of shots, vocal, rithm, loops, guitar riff, drunkits…70Mb rar compressed, that can be used on your songs too.
Give a check and let me know how they are…
cheers

I went through each of these instruments and carefully played them all note by note…

First of all, let me say that I appreciate the fact that you’re sharing these instruments. There’s definitely some cool stuff in this pack. But I do also have to be brutally honest here and say that some of these instruments/samples are simply quite bad.

Many of the samples have very obvious background noise such as hissing or electrical hum (easily heard on headphones). Many of them are not cleanly edited and have obvious clicks/pops. Some of them sound like they’ve been re-sampled from much lower quality sources, and even a few sounded like they came from low bit-rate MP3 sources.

Also, some of the samples appear to be from copyrighted sources and contain loops/phrases that seem to be directly ripped from commercial songs, so I do have to question the legality of those and whether they should be distributed in the first place. Can you prove that these samples can be freely used and distributed? Is there a particular license for them? This is quite important information for anyone who might decide to use them in their own music, afterall.

Finally, if you’re using a tool to convert these instruments to Renoise’s .XRNI format, then that tool obviously suffers from some quirky behaviour. There are quite a few instruments with really weird sample keyzone mappings, some of which have incorrect basenotes, etc. It’s also weird that some instruments contain a lot of different samples in the same (or similar category), while there are other very similar instruments that only have 1 or 2 sounds in the entire instrument, spread widely over some really strange keyzones.

I’m sure that people will find some useful sounds in here, but generally speaking I think a little bit of extra quality control and fine-tuning would help.
