Skeu Sample Pack 1.0

Targets SF2, SFZ, And YFS Formats!

A completely public domain sample pack. That means you can take samples from this sample pack and use it in a sample pack you're building - no questions asked, and no attribution required! And of course, you can sample the sounds in your own songs as well. I will maintain this repository, by both adding new sounds (minor version release), or improving sounds (major version release).

Files

Heres a list of folders and file naming conventions.

Audio Generation

Not all sounds in this soundfont are just recordings. The "one" and "mix" kits are the only two natural SoundKits. Everything else can be generated either alone or from those samples. Here's a list of kits:

one: A solo instrument
mix: Multiple instruments blended together (a section)
gat: Gated reverb samples (per/one + synth-tree)
syn: Purely synthesized samples (synth-tree)
cho: Chorus effect (one + synth-tree)
bit: Retro 8-Bit samples

Format

The audio format used is FLAC in a Matroska container.
