Subject: Re: wav files of instrument sounds From: "James W. Beauchamp" <j-beauch(at)UX1.CSO.UIUC.EDU> Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 09:24:39 -0500Christian, You will find instrument samples at http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/ (U. of Iowa Electronic Music Studios home page). These are free. IRCAM (Paris, France) has a greater variety of samples that you can pay for. "Equalized in perceived duration, perceived loudness, perceived pitch" is a "tall order". I think you will have to do your own such equalization.
