"The University of Iowa Musical Instrument Samples were created by Lawrence Fritts, Director of the Electronic Music Studios and Associate Professor of Composition at the University of Iowa in 1997.
The instruments were recorded in the Anechoic Chamber in the Wendell Johnson Speech and Hearing Center at The University of Iowa on the following equipment:
• Neumann KM 84 Cardioid Condensor Microphone
• Mackie 1402-VLZ Mixer
• Panasonic SV-3800 DAT Recorder
The recordings were digitally transferred to Macintosh Power PC 8500 though a Digidesign Audiomedia III interface (1997-1999) or to a Macintosh G4 through a Digidesign Digi-001 digital interface (2000-present)."

EDIT: I've just realised two huge flaws with this. The files each uploaded individually, meaning it will take about a year to download the entire library. Secondly, each file contains more than one note, meaning they will need chopping up before they are usable.
Anyone who fancies taking this on and reposting the package in a nice big RAR / ZIP, please do. Also, if you want to make some NNXT patches, that would be great too. Thanks.
Very, very nice... I'll feed my sampler then.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that
ReplyDeletethey are number sequentially on their webspace... you could use some sort of downloading script to grab them all? if this happens make sure they end up on proaudiotorrents.org.
