SAM trumpet working rar file uploaded

[Maarten Spruijt]

We now uploaded a working version (no crc errors) of the SAM trumpet single ZIP file. There seemed to be a problem with the old RAR one (not the 3 seperate rars, but the single big one).
http://www.maartenspruijt.com/sampatch (\"http://www.maartenspruijt.com/sampatch\")

It\'s a ZIP file now, the htm/ascii mess should be gone now! Just click the file and save it to your hd!

Sorry for the inconvenience & enjoy!

SAM crew

Rips? SAM rips? Or what? http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif

Oh, nothing. I was just kidding. I was saying that your trumpet sound so good that I hope you do the rest of the brass family.

[Maarten Spruijt]

You know it\'s so funny... I know the trumpet has \"potential\" as in sampled performances and overall sound, but to say it\'s \"good\"... I mean the bad performing ruines a lot. I\'m really amazed and surprised by all the people who love it! http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/wink.gif

The truth is, Maarten, that you just made the best trumpet ensemble patch there is, and you made it available for free.

Where all else fails, your trumpets usually work. Of course we are all aware of the flaws in the performance, but they aren\'t big enough for total dismissal. All in all I find it a very useful .gig. It\'s pretty playable (for quick sketches) and it can sound great when layered with other sounds. It sounds particularily well when you roll off the lo mid by like 10 db (yeah get rid of all that lo body) and boost the hi mids just a tad (For that crispy sound).

Yes, I second that...

In fact, I was just playing your trumpet and it bit me http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif

Great work. The sound has such character. Distant, but close enough to bite.

I wanted a slower attack (for what I am working on) so I applied GPC#2 in order to dial in the attack.

It\'s great! So, agian I ask, when are you going for the rest of the brass family? http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif
NOT for free I would hope!

[Francis Belardino]

Great sample by the way http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif Ummm, got any large FFF brass rips lying around? heheheee http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif

Great job man.

Oh yeah and choose Save As on the rar link. That way you\'ll force Explorer to save it as a file and not display some crap ascii information.

Still get the html when trying to save as on 2 different PCs running Win NT and 98 SE.
The same thing happens when trying to save from the www2.hku-page.

.........Never mind, just discovered that it will actually load the rar despite the htm-tag.
Thanks for making it available.

When I load SAM trumpets, they play up and octave. I tried dragging down an octave in the editor, but they played too low. Any suggestions?

[Maarten Spruijt]

Dragging is not enough... after dragging them down an octave you should right click on your select-all selection of regions and choose Transpose (+12).

But why don\'t you just transpose the samples from the Gigastudio mixer or sequencer parameters ?

[Terry]

Maarten,

I am trying to use your samples with QLB. I use Finale for my arranging. I had to adjust some AO samples by dragging them an octave and then they worked fine. French Horns, I believe. Anyway, it seems no matter where I drag your samples or how many half steps I change them, they still come out an octave too high. When I play the lowest e of your samples on my keyboard it even sounds an octave too high. It is probably something peculiar to my setup, since I don\'t believe anyone else is having the same problem.

Thanks,

Terry

What I noticed is that the \"sounding\" range is correct (E3-E6: yes, E6!), but the pitches are incorrectly mapped an 8ve lower on the keyboard (E2-E5).

Maarten: Will your drag-and-transpose trick correct the mapping? On the surface, it makes little sense to me (drag down an 8ve?), but then I\'m not familiar with the GS Editor to anticipate the results. The trumpets sound great, BTW.

File not found.

[Crispin]

Hey Maarten! Would very much like to have a go with this trumpet of yours but it seems to be on vacation from the site...

Any chance it\'ll be back up soon?

Thanks very much!
Crispin

[Maarten Spruijt]

Like with the timpani, I replaced the RAR file with a ZIP file. Now the htm/ascii garbage problems are gone.

So the file is up again!

The upload is just finished (overnight), and I\'m downloading it right now to see if there\'s any CRC problems.

Update: YUP it works perfectly now!
