FURTHER QUESTIONS ON SAMPLING
Every pack submitted to Pianobook should contain original audio. That is, audio that is created by the Samplist/ Uploader. This could be a recording made with a microphone, or a signal created by an Oscillator or Generator. Put simply, we always advise that you should sample acoustic instruments and synths with analogue or digital oscillators that are not pre-programmed.
