Hello guys,
it's me again with some new sample bank!
As I had no answer for the London Philharmonia Orchestra, I try the sample
of University of Iowa.
There are wave samples but personnaly I find they "sound" less good as the
philharmonia one. Even if I pack other instruments (that's not very good for
comparison).
So I don't know on which one I will continue for having a whole orchestra.
But I'm on holiday tuesday, so it will help to make a break and think
freshly about that when I'm back.
You can find them here:

There is some bad samples on Cello I need to list and remove, for your
information.
But I had some fun with the several configuration available, as the entire
harmonic range of each string has been sampled.
Also I didn't have the time to test and hear the randm dimension feature.
But I don't forget it, it must be quite interesting.
I see there were some missing information on sample page of linuxsampler.
The licence should be a GPL, I would say so people could modify the bank for
evolution as in open source.. But i need to check back the licence of
Philharmonia, as they are their samples.
And for the demo track... We will see
enjoy and CU
Clément
