I really like the MusicRadar "Western Guitar" sample pack (http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/fre ... 217833/133) and I suspect that the "Western Sample Pack" that was included with issue 193 has all of these sounds as well as gigabytes of others. I'm seriously tempted but hesitant to spend $5 on a back issue of Computer Music just for access to the sample pack but I can't find any information on it. Does anybody have the sample pack? What's in it? How is it?

The sample pack from CM 193 is called "Western World", and consists of samples from Cyclick and GrooveCriminals, so I don't think it's what you're after.

I don't remember if I downloaded these samples before or not, but you got me curious - I'm downloading now. I'll give you a rundown later.

Thank you in advance. I really appreciate it.

I've played with a lot of Groove Criminals and Cyclick sample packs before. They can be a lot of fun even though what you say indicates it's probably not the same as the western guitar sample pack.

Looking at the DVD for cm193:

There are 346 Guitar chords (239 MB) from Cyclick on the same 4 guitars. Groove Criminals did 108 spagetti (sic) guitar chords too.

The folders are:

I greatly appreciate this. Based on your image, I decided to go ahead and spend the $5. The multisamples of the chain gang whistles and men shouting at different pitches are really wonderful and the slightly expanded set of guitar chords is cool too.

I realize this post is years old. But in the samples you guys got, do you get sudden extremely loud noise clicks?
In quite a few of the samples but my batch (and I've redownloaded a few times) I have these screeching noise pops in various random samples.

You might want to download again and see if the clicks appear in this version. These are free to download:

Nope. The only supplier is Computer Music magazine -sometimes they re-issue the older libraries

Ah, I had forgotten that CM had opened up the older sample downloads.

Does anyone have the "Western" Sample Set that comes with Computer Music 193?
