Free is good so long as the licence is good, too

I'll probably release the Yamaha per preset, rather then one large file.
I'll probably compress the files with SFPack (and ZIP,SIT,or RAR), but I can do other formats too. Once I get my hosting setup. I'll post more contact information, so if there are some other formats you guys would want, you can let me know.
I don't know what the pipe is classified as for overall key (Haven't played with a whole lot), but its open pipe pitch is D#5.
As far as a license goes, it will be unrestricted, free to use as you wish, other than to redistribute for money. Maybe mention a credit, if you repack or redistribute the files, etc. etc. Details will be made available with each file set. No Donations Asked For, of course unsolicited cash offers are always welcome.LOL.
Expect samples soon!!!

Sounds good - that's two samplesets cleared and licenced for commercial use in a couple of minutes! 
I'm happy to use a link to K-v-R as a clearance... but a text file included with the archive would be so much more convincing, I'm sure...
(And preferably on the download page, too.)

if he gets good hosting,more people get the benefits i guess,and i reckon audioshots looks like its gonna be good.not just because im using it now but id say the same about panicnow too,community stuff where everyone pitches in is a great way to get more of us out there,well those who want to be,its too bright out there for me

I'm an alcholic who wants free beer! 
I am especially interested in raw samples from your MR-1 organ.
I apologize if this advice is redundant and you have been sampling for years
but you should record all sounds dry, three or four notes per octave, each no longer than half a second or so. These sounds are usually very easy to loop. Record them loud enough that any noise/background hiss is very low, but not so loud as to be clipped.
If you make these samples available, don't process them (eg. normalisation, looping, denoising etc.) Leave this to others who can package them into SFs, refills etc.
If the samples are good enough quality, I will give a donation, and I'm certain any SFs created would be handed back to the commmunity.

Thanks for all the positive feedback folks. To answer an earlier question the Irish Pipe is a D pipe for sure.
All the samples are being recorded dry, and fairly short (with the exception of some the of some of the acoustic models which need longer tails). This organ is not velocity sensitive so I'll probably ended up creating 2 or 3 velocity layers, 1 for dry sounds, 1 for the onboard chorus, etc. It's funny to consider what programers thought an acceptible piano sound was in 1983.
As far as the Irish pipe goes. It will feature multiple crossfaded velocity zones. Remember, I said earlier that if you really blow on this thing it will jump an octave. So lower velocities will play as normal, and higher velocities will play the octaves.
Anyways, gotta run. I got work to do in the studio. Talk to you all soon. Circaopus, I'll hook you up with some toons.
Thanks Spe3D for the PM.
