I've tried searching google, hotbot and sharewaremusicmachine.com and it's difficult to find such a simple thing. I just want some free musical instrument sounds. They can be real, cartoony, or anything but they must be instruments not percussion. And it would help very much if they were all in the same key. I have a (yamaha?) keyboard with lots of fun sound types (piano's, violins, harps etc and they all sound cheapishly synthesized or something which I like, sorta videogamey sounding) I was going to record each sound into a microphone but my microphone does not work now. That would have been easy because I could have made sure I used to same key for each sound. |

try to search word - reason refill's- there is a lot of sites with sample packs to reason and loads of them are in wav. format , so after DL you can easily change them in other formats |

Here are a couple files. They load very easily into Modplug. I used to have a link to a site with a large amount of soundfonts on it, but it seems to have left. |

Just a search on google and a bit of crap filtering should give you tons of stuff. Or just sample your own stuff of records. Ive got over 4Gb of samples for my sampler, all organised, most loops have loop points set and all topped n tailed with programs too (programs are like multi keygroups arrangements for akai samplers) yeah so anyway I built this up from scratch over a couple of years, so I reckon with a bit of freetime make your own. Its easier and more rewarding. |

www.findsounds.com just type in the name of the sound you want. And if you get a hang of Soundfonts (like -V- suggested, as frankly I dont have a modplug and dont have a clue how it would work) here is good page from where to find them. bbye luv ya |

pretty nice sounding, used to use them with Timidity. I'm sure there's a way to convert them into wav audio. |

So far I've only had time to try the first 2 suggestions (which took about 6 hours on dial up...) I downloaded a "soundfont", then realized that they are all in a weird file format I didn't understand. I'll have to figure out how to either convert it to wav or how to make it work in modplug. The "reason refill" search turned up a lot of stuff in another weird file type but also a few things in wav. The thing I ended up getting (which took forever to download) sounded cool but would be difficult to use in melody because many of the sounds use more than one key. I'll try the other suggestions later today and see if the phone company does not harass me for being on dial up 12 hours a day using their "lifeline" service... |

To load the soundfont into Modplug, once you get the soundfont .sf2 file, go to File/Load Soundbank, select the .sf2 file and open it. It should create another instrument folder (like the Midi Library or GM.DLS folder) with all the new sounds in it. To use them, just drag the instrument you want over to a new instrument in the song. |

i have an african thumb drum and a magnus chord organ, i could give you some interesting samples from those... do you need FULL melody sets or just a few hits of C? if you have a tool that shifts the pitch, all you need is one sound and you can go from there. |

ok this is actually quite easy. i will tell you exactly what i do. first download Vienna. it is a program that uses sondfonts. it is a midi keyboard with some effects. it uses the .sf2 file. and each sound font is a collection of instruments and the sort. it is a very easy program to use and fingure out. you can down load it here: http://www.americas.creative.com/support/files/download3.as p?centric=108&descID=423&maincat=11&OS=2%2C3&subcat=16 now go get some soundfonts. just search for Free Sound Fonts in any search engine and you will find thousands of free downloads. if your sound card is able, set your recording setting to "what you hear". use what program you use to record your music and open up vienna and then a sound font and press the keys. they will be recorded in what ever you use if it has that funtion. |

Whoa, "soundfonts" are awesome. This is exactly what I wanted (only it's just making me realize that I do indeed suck at melody, but oh well... ) I don't know where the hell imaginary fantasy @mp3.com pulls his melodies out of. |
