Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra
by Mattias WestlundUploaded on Aug 10, 2015 (and last updated on Dec 28, 2015)
Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra is a free orchestral sample library. While not as advanced or ambitious in scope as commercial offerings, SSO contains all the basic building blocks for creating real virtual orchestrations. It's primarily aimed at beginners, but also more experienced composers looking for something lightweight and/or portable might find it useful.
D. Smolken's multi-sampled double bass (aka contrabass)
by DSmolkenUploaded on Aug 29, 2015 (and last updated on Dec 27, 2015)
DSmolken at the KVR Audio Forum posted about sampling his acoustic double bass (aka contrabass) and how to best use the samples. Two primary sets of samples are provided - arco (that's bowed) and pizz (plucked) - with the addition of various "noises". If you check out his performance video, on YouTube, you might see what these might be used for... also the start of the demos below.
Arco is 5 velocity layers with 2 round robins, pizz is 3 velocity layers with 3-4 round rob...

Extra considerations:
I want it to be reusable including letting other people make better mappings, or an EQed and normalized version or whatever, and reuse it in other sample libraries.

Mellowtron
by j_e_f_f_gUploaded on Oct 09, 2015 (and last updated on Jan 07, 2016)
The infamous "string machine" used throughout the late 60s and early 70s. Not samples of a real one, but rather a stereo facsimile. I call it the "mellowtron".

Deep Bass (based on pasta bass)
by j_e_f_f_gUploaded on Oct 09, 2015 (and last updated on Dec 29, 2015)
This electric bass has a pronounced pick attack. This helps cut through a rock mix where you have lots of bass-heavy distorted guitar "power chords".
My version differs from the original source in that mine is stereo, looped, has some noise removed, and includes a "legato mode" mapping.

Tiny Piano 00 (SFZ)

A tiny experimental piano sample library!
Demo: https://soundcloud.com/sig-ex/sets/tiny-piano-00
More info: https://sig-ex.com/2016/07/24/experimental-piano-00-sfz/
Artificial stereo panning and looping of long notes makes the over all sample library just 10.8mb without sacrificing number of samples, thus avoiding overstretching pitches.
