Free Sample Libraries

We intended to gather here on our servers a collection of free instruments and samples. If you made some and / or want it to be mirrored, please let us know! As reference for the demo tracks we used LinuxSampler without any effects and a MIDI recording of Chopin's "Fantaisie Impromptu Nr. 4" (Opus 66).
