July 2012
Iowa City, Iowa

I would like to announce an update to the University of Iowa Musical
Instrument Samples (MIS).

Since 1997, these instruments, recorded note-by-note at three dynamics
levels in an anechoic chamber, have been freely available without any
restrictions on their use. There are now 23 orchestral instruments in the
collection. Additionally, we have added a new set of strings recorded at
24/96 with three Earthworks QTC-40 wide-frequency mics arrayed in a Decca
Tree formation.

These can be download as either downsampled 16/44 mono chromatic scale
files or as 24/96 stereo single-note files in zipped folders. These
samples have been used by countless musicians, composers, hardware and
software developers, teachers, students, and researchers, whose work
appears in over 270 published articles and books.

Please let me know if you have an questions, comments, or suggestions.

The page:

http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/MIS.html

mentions:

"Since 1997, these recordings have been freely available on this
website and may be downloaded and used for any projects, without
restrictions. "

So my understanding is, truly free in all regards for use.  (Someone
else please correct me if I am mistaken.)

This is great!
What we need now is a nice csound instrument/orchestra to play these...
