CDs of the full set of samples are being sent around the world as we
speak -- in a kind of chain-mail fashion. Each of the participants
picks an instrument to "exs', and when everyone is done, we'll put
all exs-files in an archive and upload it somewhere. If you want to
participate: great. Send your snail mail address to Anders
<anders@...>, and take a look here:

That's the list of participants... Currently I'm working on the
piano, which proves to be a tough cookie... Over 250 samples, most
badly recorded...

That's a problem indeed. If you make an exs instrument for samples
you chopped up yourself, how would anyone else be able to recreate
the same instrument? So I suppose the best way to go about this, is
to assign the full sample to various keys or zones, and set different
start and end points for each zone -- i.e. use the full sample as
it's available. Individual users could always decide to cut up and
trim their copy and re-assign the cut-up samples to the proper zones.
