CWBF's Mantovani Strings
by Colin FoleyUploaded on Apr 21, 2020 (and last updated on Apr 21, 2020)
A small, experimental soundfont. It consists of three samples (heavily cleaned up and edited) from vinyl records of Mantovani. The samples are each of a single violin in isolation, but if you have a few overlapping violin lines, it sounds pretty cool. Kinda like a mellotron.

Extra considerations:
Obviously the Mantovani samples aren't mine, but it's literally less than a second per sample, and only three samples, so I'm very sure this falls under fair use.

Hey bro, there you have, Our friend Giovanni Valentino sampled his own Violin and made it first a free kontakt library, later I just adapt it to be General Midi compatible and attachable to your own soundfonts, so enjoy it
PD: I am just learning how to add loop points, so I just have to do this with artificial loop creator, that alters the sample instead of using the most aproximated loop point, so that is the reason that layer with the original patch, but belive me, this...
