A CD-ROM in Akai S2000 format is also planned shortly. The Wind instruments are split into flutes and reeds. The flutes include Renaissance tranverse flute, bamboo flute, pan pipes, a selection of medieval recorders, and a range of gemshorns shepherds' flutes made from cowhorn.
Percussion is divided into bells and drums.
There are 45 instruments in total, many of them are modern reproductions carefully modelled from pictures in ancient books and manuscripts. File sizes are modest for both the drums and wind instruments between 300K and 4Mb but multisampled strings are more memory-hungry, ranging from 1.7Mb right up to the dulcimer's 13Mb. The CD-ROM not only contains the Soundfonts, but the same instruments as collections of WAV files for use in other sampling environments. A further 15 CD audio tracks put the Soundfonts through their paces, and demonstrate just how realistic the sounds can be in the right hands. I was very impressed with this CD-ROM, and the only difficulty I had with it was that the Soundfonts have German names, which complicates matters.
