Hello:

I am a beginner in CSound. I hope to get some orchestra
files to produce sound near real instruments (like piano, violin, drums
etc.).

I found many files available on the net produces very nice and fancy
sounds but they are not close to any real instruments (rather like
sounds in science fiction movies). One site contains orchestra files
quite close to real instruments but it's not so easy for use because
there are many parameters that a line in score file needs to write. I
have to guess a lot of them to just make it sound right. (I only partly
understand what the orchestra file's implementation of the instruments.)

I wonder if there are some collections of orchestra that emulates
real-life instruments and are easy to use. For example, maybe I just
need to specify the begin time, duration and frequency.(Or amplitude as
extra.)

Thank you very much!
