I just bought an new exs24 and installed it, only to find 8 or 9 free sounds in the sample library. I don't know why but I was under the impression that it came with a lot more... Is this all you get? Also, is there anywhere online where you download free sounds? General Midi sounds for the exs24? than

No if you register the EXS24 you get sent a disc of factory sounds - about another 50 or so. >Also, is there anywhere online where you download free sounds? General >Midi sounds for the exs24? EXS24 can convert soundfonts so the big sound font sites like Hammersound etc have huge collections. Here are a few links to sites with downloadable EXS24 instruments to get you started -- the last few are just for samples you can build your own instruments with. http://www.first-wave-music.de/downloads/f_downloads.html http://www.esoundz.com/soundz.html http://www.echochamber.ch/ http://www.cone.nl/test/exs.htm http://www.chickensys.com/exs/ http://www.saschafranck.de/exs/ http://www.vidavision.com/entertainment/stefan/ Samples only http://www.asterick.com/sample_links.html http://www.zoolabmusic.com/ http://www.analoguesamples.com/

One of those tones that do not call attention to themselves but is somehow fatter and louder than a sine wave. Anybody know if such a sound resides amongst these free ones (I do not have DSL so I do not want to download a bunch of candidates that don't cut it for my purpose)?

What tune do you want to cover -- "A wishin' and a hopin' and a huntin' and a peckin'"? Gee -- sixties bass ... hmm. A lot of soundfonts are pretty good -- Hammersound had some decent ones. Sascha Frank has an one that he made on his site - more modern sounding perhaps. You can use the filter and EQ to get the degree of brightness/ cut in the mix that you want. Compression has a whole lot to do with how the bass sits in the mix too. I have a stack of downloaded electric bass samples built into EXS instruments but more often than not I use my own samples -- I sampled every note on my fretless bass (EMG pickups and tone board) at 24 bit with no loops and it sounds good in my tunes but not "sixties" I would say -- more modern ie with a more hifi sort of sound. Regards, Murray As you might imagine the resulting instrument is huge.

Personally, I think the EXS24 stock sounds suck. These are good starting places. I have built most of my own drum kits from copyright-free download sample sites. Actually, the EXS24 is so fast at building drum kits, it's the reason I bought the thing to begin with. You can get free strings from me at http://MusicBootCamp.com/exs24.shtml and more raw samples at http://MusicBootCamp.com/audio_sample_library.shtml
