I sampled an old wurlitzer EP on every key, with vibrato both on and off, at about 10 velocities per key. I have the samples, but they're just sitting on my hard-drive because I haven't really had time to organize them, clean 'em up, and lay them out into a kontakt patch.
I am wondering if there is any kind of market for this type of thing any more. Are there too many free EP sample sets? Synths?
I would give them away for free, but I can't afford to spend the time laying out a huge patch with no hope of making a few bucks back - money is tight (what else is new) and I can make more doing graphics or something.
The samples are good but they're not going to compete in quality with the big guys. I'd be willing to sell it, when it was done, for something like $20.
Do people think that this would work, or would I be better off just releasing the samples into the world in a raw state, and then let some person with more free time organize them into a usable patch?
Right now, what's done:
samples are arranged into vibrato / no vibrato folders
the samples are labeled with the correct key
What still needs to be done:
-Noise reduction/cleaning
-Slicing multi-strike samples into single-hits
-adding correct velocity labels to samples
-arranging samples into a multi-sample patch (prob. kontakt)
slicing and noise reduction (yes, the need noise reduction... sue me) should be fast and easy, the rest should be hard and tedious, I think. Any advice or thoughts?
