Sample of instrument sounds for all keyboard instruments, bowed stringed instruments, and plucked stringed instruments

• Oct 3, 2018 - 02:30

A sample of notes ranging about 2 octaves in pitch is played by every instrument to hear a quick sampling of what all the instruments sound like in a category. Each sample is one measure of notes played, so every measure is played by a different instrument going down the list for a category of instrument parts for Musescore.
I just did all the keyboard instruments as well as the bowed stringed instruments... note that all the keyboard instruments have at least 2 staffs (bass and treble clef) for one instrument part, and most of the organ instruments will actually have 3 staffs per instrument part (1 treble, 2 bass clefs). I used the same color to color code all the staffs belonging to an instrument part, and alternated colors for every instrument part for the listed instrument parts with staffs on the sheet music.
For the stringed instruments, I am thinking I will add the plucking samples next since I only have samples that play the notes in arco mode (since there's arco, pizza, and trem modes for three differente ways to play the instrument part for musescore that all sound different).
Additionally, I did clean up the sample of all plucked stringed instruments to be able to see what part is what more easily... so hopefully this will be helpful for anyone who wants to hear a quick audio sample of all the instruments in a category for Musescore to hear what each one sounds like.
One could even use the mixer and repeat playing the sheet music of samples by assigning a different "sound" in the mixer to an instrument each time it's played to hear what an instrument sounds like using different "sounds " in the mixer...
