Music.... the process or the product?

Pretty sure I spend more time on sound design, exploratory "Noise Architecture" ventures as it were, just exploring sound and the perceived spaces in-between, than I do actually writing or performing "music" as most would call it.
In that way, the majority of my listening time has little to nothing to do with "music", and while it does hold a creative relation, it really doesn't even sound much like any of the "music" I've ever released or publicly performed.
There's a product of the process that frequently hits public, but personal preference and time devotion is toward the process and not dwelling on the product. The process is always alive and dynamic, the product, even when at it's best, is always static..... even dead meat is more alive. https://friendica.feneas.org/display/76158462-1360-e32e-0160-111359585769

The Synthulator..... An Open Source DSP Chip project to keep synths alive

Project to emulate the Motorola 563xx DSP chipset (new contributors welcome).
The chief goal of the project is to be able to keep numerous past synthesizers based on the chip alive. These include:
Waldorf MW2/XT — Motorola 56303
Waldorf Q — Motorola 56303
Clavia Micro Modular — Motorola 56303
Clavia Nord Modular — Motorola 56303
Nord Lead 3 — 6 Motorola 56362
Nord Modular — 4 Motorola 56303
Novation SuperNova — Motorola 56303
Novation Nova — 5 Motorola 56362 (synth engine), and 1 Motorola 56303 (fx unit)
Access Virus A — Motorola 56303
Access Virus B — Motorola 56311
Access Virus C - Motorola 56362
Access Virus TI - 2x Freescale DSP 56367
Access Virus TI2 - 2x Freescale DSP 56367. Later models used DSP56321
EPROMs for (at least) most of the above can be found here:

Worlds Largest Drum Sample Collection On The Internet....

https://samples.kb6.de/downloads_en.php
is it truly THE largest....
probably not, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY DARN BIG!
(from what I understand, 6.5GB rar compressed)
will note that the samples, while free, are not publicly offered in one downloadable (folder per manufacturer) package unless one makes a donation of around 10 Euros to help maintain the site. https://friendica.feneas.org/display/76158462-2060-ccfd-c31f-9db357260607

Why are there so many samples of chords?

Relative to the more "traditional" waveshapes, I've long been a fan of sample based Osc.
Much more complex wave shapes for oscillator use readily available and assured stable tuning to boot.
But I've never understood having samples of "chords"......
It ruins being able to use the sample as an osc that can be played across the entire range and locks one into a world of playing in 5ths, 9ths, and such things.
What's the point?
