anywhere I can get samples of instument sounds and such for MPT?

justinrpg · June 19, 2011, 16:27:43

just like the download in the tutorial, is there any more sample downloads of different instruments and stuff for me to use in MPT? I am interested in using other music sounds than what's in the tutorial, and/or in conjunction with the tutorial sounds... maybe in the same SGM format?

Move your eyes a bit up in this forum and you'll notice a big thread about sample sites - í dunno how many of the old links still work but the Waveworld torrent is of course still available - that's more than 1 GB of useful samples of all kind.

Agreed; spend some time searching forums like these here at OpenMPT, as well as ModArchive's forums: http://forums.modarchive.org/ before asking -- as quite likely your question may have been asked (many..) times before you came around..

Not at all to be rude here, but to point out that while there are those of us around who can help answer questions like this, they/we might not be around when you're looking for an answer... searching forums (with a little determination.. not always gonna find something with your first or second [or third... or fourth...!] set of search terms...!) pans out for me about 97% of the time. Besides, I remember stuff I had to dig for a lot better than had it been given me by someone else.

To add to the suggestions though, this site may also be of interest: http://www.archive.org/details/opensource_audio

Also keep in mind that if you have VSTi's you can create your own samples using the Render function.

Consult the OHM on that.

Bah, it doesn't auto-assign loop points for me though..!

(kidding..! I've actually become decent at doing them finally..! Once I realized soundwaves were 3 dimensional and began looking at the 2d representation to recognize patterns in the waveform, I was on the right track..

)

But yes -- thanks Harbinger! It hadn't occured to me to render the output to sample a VSTi (though I've not yet needed/wanted to do so, which would be why) -- so kudos and props! I might try it sooner than I would've otherwise.

Also, I wanted to mention a minor revision that's needed in the OHM. Just researched a bit before making this post (to ensure my joke above wasn't going to turn into a fauxpas..) and along the way discovered a missing term (technically not a typo..) on page 78 of the OHM in the following red text:

25. Sample Loop Type: Sets the repeat mode for looping the sample. The default is , which restarts the cycle at the Loop Start when sample playback reaches the Loop End....

...just in case it hadn't been corrected already, I wanted to bring it to ya.

Oh, for clarification I should state that I'm using the 1.19.1 version via a locally saved PDF copy I have on my studio system.. ^_^
