I had this idea from https://www.pianobook.co.uk/ . On that site, there are a bunch of sample instruments technically available for free, but not really because most of them require the full version of kontakt to use. I thought it would be interesting to create some kind of community project of multisample .xi instruments. I sometimes enjoy putting this together both with acoustic instruments and vsts. I have 15 of these that i'd be willing to share but i'm not sure where to host this.

i'd be happy to make some dx7 .xi instruments! <3 love this

RIP BOTB SOUNDFONT

oh man this would motivate me to organize my sample collection and do more module hunting

i know there's waveworld and kiarchive hosted on modarchive

but you mean a more community based effort to upload .xi instruments right?

maybe for now we can just start by uploading some instruments and posting links to this thread. if there's enough demand and people posting stuff here we can consider actually setting up a website and uploading them to some cloud storage service

I helped with the bitpack and sampled a Brass Section and a Distorted Guitar from a Yamaha QR-10. Here's .xi instruments of them with a bunch extra little experimental drums:

yeah kiarchive is good but i meant community thing. for now here's a dump of my "tracker instruments" folder. one or two may have a wrong note due to a bug in mpt that was fixed today. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g65vT1J9yPTNr38fZMuzpg9KGix1sr3P/view?usp=sharing

i'm just concerned with this: https://battleofthebits.com/arena/Battle/6085/Comments/#post140844

multisample instruments are not sampled from songs, they're sampled from instruments. if someone makes a multisample instrument of thier own acoustic instrument or modular setup or synthesizer or whatever, there is 0 possibility of it going against any license or copyright. The only case where it could breach copyright is something like omnisphere's license, which is already a multisample instrument vst, and users are technically not allowed to redistribute its samples (though that was more aimed at other companies rather than individual users)
