looking for orchestra samples sounds

[Dozey]

Hi there. I am looking for orchestra samples like man choirs, violins, trumpets, stringed instruments, wind instruments etc. Anyone got it?

[Saga Musix]

Clicking the "Web Resources" links in OpenMPT's help menu would have brought you to a site containing links to several sample sites, including those of the BBC Philharmonia - it's a fairly large set of free orchestral samples, but of course it's limited. Sampling a whole orchestra in a realistic way is expensive and time-consuming, which is one of the reasons why commercially available orchestra VSTis like those by EWQL are pretty expensive. So, either you are happy with the free but limited samples you can get, or you'll have to invest a big pile of money into some more realistically-sounding plugins.

check this http://www.kvraudio.com/kvr-developer-challenge/2012/ maybe something is usefull for you

its generally 3-600$ for the better one´s ive seen.

ive never seen anything worthwhile for free in my 20 years online and musicmaking.

[LPChip]

There are some free SF2 soundfonts out there that aren't bad. An SF2-player VSTi for free is available too, like sfz or phenome.

[Voltrom]

A wonderful orchestral soundfont is this one here:
