Title: Need samples?
Post by: raina on April 21, 2008, 12:46:26
How about the One Laptop Per Child sound sample library (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sound_samples)? :)

Others are welcome to post sample links here as well but try to respect the generous people and link the source of the samples so that they are presented in the intended context and license terms and such aren't bypassed. That generally means no 3rd party sites hosting somebody else's samples and no direct links to files (that goes double for RapidShare and similar cr*p) as they tend to die fast.

Here is the old Waveworld Library (http://tracker.modarchive.org/torrents/TMA-waveworld.zip.torrent) in Torrent format. You'll need a Bit Torrent client to download it. It's 1.3 GB of various samples which used to be hosted on The Mod Archive many years ago. We bumped it off onto peer to peer due to the absurd bandwidth hogging. There are still a few seeds going.

You can also download some samples at the freepats (http://freepats.opensrc.org/) website. The "freepats-20060219" archive has 128 samples in .pat format. Debian users can just "apt-get install freepats", which will install this archive to "/usr/share/midi/freepats/".

I also have a question. Does anyone remember the sample pack that the main website linked to a long time ago, before Milkytracker was open source? I can't find the link anymore, so I was wondering if anyone knows what license these samples were under. I would like to release some mods using them for a project I am working on, but I don't want to do so until I know that the license permits this.

EDIT:
Ah, thanks for the clarification raina.

The old sample pack wasn't specifically under any license. It was just a random collection, probably ripped from wherever a long time ago, before anybody in the  scene was interested in or cared about licenses.

Cheer up, it's still very simple nowadays: You make chiptunes, you either put them under a license or not and lamers will happily come, rip your tunes and sell them. Licenses or copyright don't bother them.
