CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL
SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT
RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS.
CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE
INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES
RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED
HEREUNDER.  Statement of Purpose The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the
world automatically confer exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined
below) upon the creator and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of
an original work of authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").

Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for the
purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and scientific works
("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear of later claims of
infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse and
redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any purposes,
including without limitation commercial purposes. These owners may contribute
to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the further
production of creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain reputation or
greater distribution for their Work in part through the use and efforts of
others.

For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any expectation of
additional consideration or compensation, the person associating CC0 with a
Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she is an owner of Copyright
and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily elects to apply CC0 to the Work and
publicly distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of his or her
Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal
effect of CC0 on those rights.

1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not limited to,
the following:

the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate, and
translate a Work; moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or
performer(s); publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or
likeness depicted in a Work; rights protecting against unfair competition in
regards to a Work, subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below; rights
protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in a Work;
database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of
databases, and under any national implementation thereof, including any amended
or successor version of such directive); and other similar, equivalent or
corresponding rights throughout the world based on applicable law or treaty,
and any national implementations thereof.  2. Waiver. To the greatest extent
permitted by, but not in contravention of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby
overtly, fully, permanently, irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons,
and surrenders all of Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated
claims and causes of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing
as well as future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all
territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law
or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future
medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever,
including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes
(the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the
public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and successors, fully
intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to revocation, rescission,
cancellation, termination, or any other legal or equitable action to disrupt
the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's
express Statement of Purpose.

3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be
judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver
shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into account
Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver
is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected person a royalty-free, non
transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and unconditional
license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work (i) in
all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable
law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or
future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose
whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional
purposes (the "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date
CC0 was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any
reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such
partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder of the
License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she will not (i)
exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related Rights in the Work
or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of action with respect to the
Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.

4. Limitations and Disclaimers.

No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.  Affirmer offers
the Work as-is and makes no representations or warranties of any kind
concerning the Work, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including
without limitation warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, non infringement, or the absence of latent or other
defects, accuracy, or the present or absence of errors, whether or not
discoverable, all to the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons that may
apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without limitation any person's
Copyright and Related Rights in the Work. Further, Affirmer disclaims
responsibility for obtaining any necessary consents, permissions or other
rights required for any use of the Work.  Affirmer understands and acknowledges
that Creative Commons is not a party to this document and has no duty or
obligation with respect to this CC0 or use of the Work.

[DOWNLOAD THE LATEST](
  https://github.com/stargatedaw/stargate-sample-pack/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
)

A properly open source, crowd sourced, free, royalty-free, attribution-free
sample pack, optimized for the common use-cases and a relatively small download
size.

[Stargate DAW](https://github.com/stargateaudio/stargate) projects bundle the
samples they use, but nearly all sample packs either do not allow
redistributing samples, or have vague licensing that makes distributing samples
questionable or difficult.  This sample pack aims to create high quality
samples, for free, that can be used by anybody for any purpose, without
restriction.

# Other Sample Packs We Like
We encourage you to check out these fine public domain sample packs too:

# Contributing
You can synthesize, record and process samples in Stargate DAW or any
other software, as long as it is not playing samples.  For example, you cannot
render the samples directly out of a proprietary sampler plugin with
proprietary sample libraries.

Guidelines:
- Please trim the excess space from the beginning and end of the samples to
  keep the file size to a minimum.  Once you have a collection of samples,
  create a subfolder in the following format:
- Avoid the use of whitespace in file or folder names, dashes are preferred,
  underscores are also acceptable
- Do not sample from copyrighted songs, TV or any other copyrighted work
- Please keep the quality high, take the extra time to EQ, trim and process
  the samples as many times as needed to get the desired sound.  Considering
  filtering off excessive low and high frequencies if that makes sense on
  the particular sample.
- Github has a file size limit of 100MB, but generally samples should be much
  smaller than this

### Creating the folder structure
```
stargate-sample-pack/your-artist-name/your-sample-pack-name

# containing organized subfolders like
kick-drums/
snares/
claps/
loops/
hihats/
violin/
synth-bass/
bass-guitar/

# You can create a README.md in your artist name and sample pack name folders
# to describe the sample pack, give yourself attribution, promote your
# website or pages
```

Create a pull request from this.  If you do not know how to create a pull
request, you can create an issue tracker and attach the samples as a zip file
 or link to them using a service like Google Drive or wormhole.app.

Fugue State Audio - Stargate DAW Sample Pack

--------------------------------------------



A selection of completely free, public domain sounds from Fugue State Audio for inclusion with the Stargate DAW sample pack.



/drums



There are 5 kits in the drums folder, broken into drum types as per the Stargate DAW standard. These are all electronic sounds generated via synthesis (as opposed to acoustic, recorded sounds). The kit that a given sound belongs to is given in the filename, though one should also feel free to mix and match as they see fit.





/found-sounds



These are sounds from various household objects (and in one instance, nature), recorded with microphones.





/guitar-fx



These are sounds recorded from an Ibanez 7-string electric guitar, processed with virtual effects and amp sims. Though the source is mono, these are layered stereo sounds. In the case of tuned sounds, note names are given.





/loops



A small collection of (mostly percussive) loops, with BPM in the name.





/synth-fx



A few synthetic sound effects.





More free stuff is available from the FSA website, linked below. Cheers!

# VCSL
![logo](https://github.com/sgossner/VCSL/raw/master/Assets/VCSL_Color_128x128.png "VCSL Logo")

The Versilian Community Sample Library is an open CC0 general-purpose sample library created by Versilian Studios LLC for the purpose of introducing a set of quality, publicly available samples suitable for use in software and media of all kinds. This library is intended to be a broader expansion to the VSCO 2 CE sample set.

This collection is under a Creative Commons 0 license. Essentially it's Public Domain- you can do whatever you want with these sounds (even make commercial software), no royalties, no credit, no special terms.

The easiest way to keep up to date is to set up a local copy of the repository with Github Desktop, then just 'Fetch origin' whenever something new comes out. Install Github Desktop, then back on the VCSL main branch page click 'Clone or Download' then 'Open in Desktop'.

Want to stay updated? Join the mailing list and we'll send you an e-mail every time the project is updated-

# SFZ Version
You can download the SFZ version from the latest release here:

https://github.com/sgossner/VCSL/releases/

Huge thanks to Peter Eastman for creating a fantastic Python utility that auto-generates SFZ files- it's included as CC0 as part of the download!

# Design Philosophy
The selection of samples for VCSL is designed specifically to suit lightweight sample library creation. A greater emphasis is placed on pitch fidelity (with most being wholetone sampled if possible) and consistency, but less on more 'professional' features such as many round robins or velocity layers, except where warranted (e.g. percussion). As such, most articulations only have a single round robin and two to three velocity layers, although like all things in life, there are exceptions to that. On average, this means each instrument weighs about 20-75 MB in raw .wav format, a small but comfortable size for adequate reproduction.

This goal of this set is to provide a consistently-recorded and convenient starting place for factory libraries, sound designers, and hobbyist developers to work from.

# Inclusion of Previous Works
This set shall include the bulk of the VSCO 2 CE sample set, including some reworked and re-curated selections to better fit the design philosophy. It also shall include many instruments not featured in the CE sample set, but found in other products or the larger VSCO 2 Pro sample set. Lastly, new recordings will be produced ongoing throughout the next few years to continually add and update content in this sample set. Content added to the set will not be removed; new content will simply be added on in the form of new instrument options.

# 3rd Party Contributions
3rd party developers are welcome to make additions to the sample set. The following standards are highly recommended:
- Samples shall be named in a human-readable format. The recommended syntax is- `[Instrument]_[Articulation]_[Mic]_vl[Velocity]_rr[RR].wav.`
- Samples shall be made available at 44.1 or 48 kHz sample rate, and either 16 or 24-bit depth, as uncompressed .wav files.
- Samples shall be recorded in stereo if possible, unless (1) idiomatic (e.g. harmonicas, solo vox) or (2) impractical to do so. Most of the sample set is recorded with spaced pair or NOS, but other arrays are acceptable so long as the stereo image is reasonable.
- Samples shall preferably be recorded in a clean, 'mid-close' position, typically 0.5-3 meters from the performer(s), in an acoustically neutral space with as little background noise as possible. These recordings shall not be processed with the exception of (1) tuning, (2) mild eq'ing to fix microphone problems, and (3) noise reduction (if necessary).
- Samples shall be organized in folders, one per instrument, preferably with sub-folders, one per articulation, if there are many samples.
- Any metadata relating to the samples should be included (brand/model, performer, mics, space) if possible, but not necessary.

Contributions may be made by creating a fork, and then requesting that fork to be merged back into the main set. In addition, forks that go off and do their 'own thing' are welcome as well (such as a 3rd party SFZ conversion).
