johnoestmannmusicCame across some outstanding Public Domain / CC0 (meaning free to use for ANY project, no attribution needed) sample packs today (View Thread):
1. Versilian Studios Freeware: https://versilian-studios.com/#freeware (Chamber Orchestra, others)
2. Karoryfer Free Packs: https://shop.karoryfer.com/pages/free-samples (Interesting modified instruments)
3. Uni of Iowa Musical Instrument Samples: https://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/MIS.html (Mostly individual orchestral instruments)
Quick instructions:
- Double check the description of the Versilian ones. The first few are CC0, the last 1 or so seem to be another CC license requiring attribution
- If you haven't downloaded from GitHub before (for the Karoryfer packs) do a quick YouTube search on how to. (It's usually either in Releases, or by clicking Code > Download Zip)
Instructions (cont.):
- The Uni of Iowa site seems to require you to use the hover menu to go to each instrument's page and then there are collated ZIPs at the bottom.
- Some come in SoundFont (.sfz) format, but you can usually find the WAV / AIF files in a "Samples" folder or similar
