Hi All, In the spirit of our little community here, I'd like to offer my own modest contribution. I am a jazz vibraphone player. A couple of years ago I sampled my vibraphone (for samplecell at the time). It's a Musser M-55 and I sampled it with some nice medium hard mallets and a slow vibrato. It's a Milt Jackson style jazz sound. I did a couple of different velocity layers and fairly long samples with no loops. I personally really like thsese samples and use it all the time (because my vibes are usually in storage with our equipment transport company, for gigs). I've converted the instrument to EXS format and it works great. I'd love to make these multisamples available for all to use. I tried uploading the files to our site at Yahoo but I got errors each time. The compressed files are approx 6 megs. Maybe it's too big for yahoo, I don't know. But if anyone can make some space available for me to upload it to, I'd be happy to offer it for all to use. PS: (I don't know if to refer to this in the singular or plural. It's one instrument, but several samples) :-) -- Eli Krantzberg Nightshift Orchestra / Almat Productions http://www.nightshiftorchestra.com
