I was wondering, wouldn't AI be ideal to e.g. take a middle C tone sample and generate all 88 tones for it? Or even generate all samples from scratch via prompts like "sitar", "guitar", "violin", "strings" etc.?
Is there anything like that yet? I googled for it but didn't find anything yet.
Any AI generated sample libraries yet?

If it's generating samples from scratch, that's just synthesis. You could look into physical modeling if you're into that sort of thing. But I don't know if AI would be any better or worse than humans already are at that, maybe just faster.

Actually, I think you wouldn't even need AI for that, except that it could further aid with this.
You could use random / algorithmic generation of synth presets / drum synthesis / merging of sounds.
I've recently dabbled around with this myself, see: viewtopic.php?t=609896
Now you need to randomly generate some MIDI clips / chord progressions. Then take the randomly generated presets and generate samples out of them (you can also automate this, I'm sure). Now you could even add all of this together in the sample pack, so just throw in the synth presets, MIDI clips and WAV files you generated.
The real work is curation, no matter whether you use AI or more traditional algorithms. Even if sounds are hand-created, the quality of a preset pack lies imho mostly in its curation, the taste of the author and how well it is organized (folder structure, file names).

It wouldn't even need to be 100% accurate and sound like real instruments. I think if it gets a bit "off" it would even make it more interesting for sound design.

Hey, I'm glad I came across this thread!There is Infinite Packs by Audialab. Infinite Packs is an ethically-trained generative AI instrument reminiscent of samplers and drum machines. It generates multiple melodic instrument samples, alongside drum samples (similar to the Emergent Drums' Drum Generator). The product is in Alpha, and the team is always working on improving it as well!

(full disclosure, I personally use their tools and collaborate with the team at Audialab)
