UPDATE: The official SFZ are now available for download on the product page linked below. In addition, the developers have posted a SFZ making tutorial on their website and they’ve announced that they’ll be creating the official SFZ and VST/AU plugin versions of the library in a few weeks from now. There aren’t many high quality free orchestral samples like these on the web, so I’m quite sure that Versilian Studios’ latest free offering will attract a lot of attention from composers and sound designers. Still, being a completely open source project, it’s safe to assume that we’ll see a bunch of user-made SFZ patches (among other formats) for this orchestral library sooner than later. The library contains a wide variety of orchestral samples, including horns, wind instruments, strings, and loads of different percussive instruments.Īt the moment, the free Community Edition library only contains the WAV samples, meaning that there are no ready-made patches for samplers like Sforzando, Kontakt, etc. These smaller packs bring the same sound quality, but with a smaller amount of sampled notes in order to make the library easier to handle in less demanding projects. The full version contains all 1,952 samples in WAV format (1.9 GB download), whereas the “256” Pack and “50” pack contain (you guessed it!) 256 and 50 samples, respectively.


The free VSCO 2 Community Edition sample library is available in three versions. Versilian Studios has released VSCO 2 Community Edition, a freely downloadable, open source version of their brand new VSCO 2 orchestral sample library in WAV format.
