You are absolutely right, Eric. As annoying as it may be, a list 
member posting something for others to use, even with the best 
intentions, may run into trouble, and we should all beware so we know 
what we are doing.

There is a great vibe of sharing on the list these days and the other 
day I was about to share some of my EXS stuff but do I really know 
that it's copyright free? One thing are the files I have downloaded 
from others or from soundfont sites and tweaked myself. I definitely 
don't know whether they are kosher. 

And then I start asking myself what about the bass drum and snare 
patches I have made sampling from my own sound modules one of which 
is the Ensoniq MR which has loads of great drums and percussion (to 
my ears that is)? I have tried to capture those drum sounds as 
faithfully as I can and could I get in legal trouble sharing them?

Anyway, would anybody be interested in an EXS patch which is 100% my 
own? It is very simple but very useful. It's all major and minor 
chords played by a good sounding electric guitar. Just one strum on 
each key, going "RRIING", with one octave being major and one octave 
being minor. I use it often on downbeats when I go from one section 
of a song to the next, like the first beat of a chorus. I would have 
to ask someone on the list to host it.

Apart from the above I have opted for a diffent road for now to 
satisfy my wish to share and that is to contribute to the Computer 
Music readers' loop competition 'cause I am 100% sure that the loops 
I have built in Logic and Reaktor are my own. Computer Music has 
requested that I supply my entries in .wav format instead of 
the .mp3's I submitted and I consider that a good sign. They may end 
up some place where others can use them.

Kind regards,
