Maestro Piano, Drums, Clarinet etc
2003-09-28 by Murray McDowall
Mats Helgesson -- a rather generous swedish guy has recorded and packaged some quite impressive samples which are available for free on his site. http://exce.ath.cx/~route909/download.html Most are available for download in the sf2 format -- these are in SFPack archives which means Mac users will need to find an SFPack decompression tool if they don't have access to a PC. There are some quite decent drum kits -- close mic and room mic kits and a clarinet with various articulations. The piano is in gig format and has five velocity levels. To quote the readme is a"sampled reproduction of a Yamaha CF-3 grand piano from the early 90s. It was chromatically sampled, to maintain the tempered tuning." It is a very pleasing instrument and well worth downloading IMHO -- I prefer it to some of my other commercially released piano sample sets. It is now uploaded as a 337 rar archive and also as a 616 MB zip archive. Regards, Murray
