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.
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.

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.

Cuckoo's Taped Piano SFZ (flac version)
by Cuckoo MusicUploaded on Jul 25, 2016 (and last updated on Jul 25, 2016)
Internet musician Cuckoo taped his piano, sampled it and made an SFZ soundfont. All the notes have been sampled with 3 different velocity layers. As for the sound it ranges from a really light mellow harp-like tone on lower velocities to a very sharp tone with higher velocities, really interesting.
The original version uses aiff samples but it did not play well with some of the SFZ players I used, so I made a flac and a wav version.
This is the FLAC version. Link to the ...
