Type:
drum hits
Contents:
183 samples, 16-bit 44 khz mono & stereo
Description:
Three banks of rip-roaring, crisp, tweaky,
banging, spacenoid and fuzzed up percussive
hits. Especially good for when you've got
the right groove, but you can't find the
right drum sound. Samples are purposefully
mapped in no particular order to encourage
gestalt moments and happy discoveries.

drum loops
Contents:
55 "recycled" samples, 16-bit
44 khz mono
Description:
Hard 'n' nasty 165 bpm drum 'n' bass loops,
composed of 55 "recycled" drum loop fragments.
Two .exs files are provided -- one with
straight velocity = loudness, while the
other uses fixed loudness and uses velocity
to control a 24db "fat" cutoff filter for
those wacky sweeping filter rolls you jungle
hedz love so much. The .zip file also includes
a MIDI file which will play the complete
loops in sequence. By importing this MIDI
file and bringing the sequence into your
own arrangement, you can use the matrix
editor or GM drum editor to re-arrange the
breaks as you see fit.

Author:
canton
Type:
sampled instrument
Contents:
33 part multisample, 16-bit 44 khz
Description:
The mellotron was the "sampler before
samplers". It used tiny tape loops
instead of digital audio, so it had a dirty
(but warm) analog sound to it. And it looked
even crazier than it sounded!
This is a big dramatic female choir doing
not quite 'oh' not quite 'ahh'. Very philip
glass.

SampleSwap
members from all over the world have contributed
these samples, and it's impossible for us to tell
which samples are original and which have been lifted
from recordings or sample CD-ROMs. Ontology makes
a "best
effort" to filter out or identify samples which
have obviously been obviously ripped off. You
alone are responsible for making sure you are not
violating any copyrights when you use these instrument
files*.

By the way, this is also the case when you purchase
commercial sample CDs. Even though they may say you
can use the samples in a commercial work, if it turns
out that they
violated someone's copyright to obtain their samples,
you are still the one who is held responsible.
Ouch!
You
MAY redistribute these ESX24 instrument sets under the
following conditions:
1. You may not distribute the samples in connection with
any for-profit activity.
2. You may not alter the distribution itself, i.e. do
not change the name, read me files, or audio content.
Distribute the .zip files as they are.
BE
FUNKY at your own risk:
Ontology.com will not be held liable for any reckless
acts of funkiness that these sample libraries may inspire.
By downloading these samples, you implicitly agree to
