This unique collection comprises the sounds of 45 different acoustical instruments wich are widely used in the performance of either Early Music and also for World Music.

Some of the string instruments and bells were recorded using different playing playing techniques. this results in 52 different multi samples that were used for an even greater number of presets.

The instruments were mostly sampled in steps of small thirds and often even narrower to preserve the natural sond of every instrument throughout its whole range.

All the samples were painstakingly looped "by hand" to ensure the best achievable results.

As an addition to the soundfonts You will find wav files of every drum sound in up to seven different dynamic steps.

A very important part of the Early Patches CD is the extensive Documentation in HTML format. This is of course a very uncommon feature for a sampling CD.
The instruments that I used are mostly quite rare and thus unknown to many of the musicians who will be using these patchfiles . So I decided to include a comprehensive musicological documentation complete with pictures and descriptions of all the instruments instead of the usual scarse and rather undescriptive list of sounds.
