Package your samples.

Please package your samples and sample instruments in a single ZIP file. Name the zip file the same as the name of the piano you use in the form above. Please include a photo of the piano (or a photo that represents its story) and a README.txt file that contains a the piano name, your name and the piano’s story.

The following is the preferred directory structure within the ZIP file:

README.txt - details of the piano

samples/original/ - original sample files sliced into one file per note

samples/NR/ - noise reduced files (optional)

instruments/ - Kontakt/ESX24 instrument files

Please name each sample file with the note being played, ensuring you use only sharp “#” symbols rather than flat “b” symbols. Distinguish between the volume layers by adding “p”/”mp”/”mf”/”f” as appropriate.
