Free U of Iowa Anechoic Musical Instrument Samples (MIS)
I would like to announce an update to the University of Iowa Musical
Instrument Samples (MIS) at: http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/MIS.html.
Since 1997, these instruments, recorded note-by-note at three
dynamics levels in an anechoic chamber, have been freely available
without any restrictions on their use. There are now 23 orchestral
instruments in the collection. Additionally, we have added a new set
of strings recorded at 24/96 with three Earthworks QTC-40
wide-frequency mics arrayed in a Decca Tree formation. These can be
download as either downsampled 16/44 mono chromatic scale files or as
24/96 stereo single-note files in zipped folders.
