Just under a year ago I started experimenting with sample sets from instruments other than the organ (sacrilege I hear some purists muttering)
I started with the Blanchet 1720 Harpsichord, then I came across and downloaded the Sonatina Symphony set of orchestral instruments. More to play with!
At the same time I was listening to quite a bit of John Stanley's work, apart from the Organ works, particularly the trio sonatas. I had a Harpsichord (Blanchet), and a flute (from the Sonatina set)
More recently I've been hearing BuxWV160 on Last.fm played on harpsichord and bass. That meant preparing the bass samples from Sonatina.
Attached are MP3 and MIDI files for the Bux and part of Stanley's Opus 1
The Bux uses blanchetDbass.organ, 2 manuals for Harpsichord, pedals for bouble bass; the Stanley uses blanchetflute.organ, 1 manual for flute the other for Harpsichord, could have exrended to 3 manuals and use 2 for the h'ps'ch'd and one for the flute.
The links are to Dropbox, for the Bass and Flute sample files, (Zipped) too big to add here as attachments, the .organ files will have to follow in next post, I've run out of attachments/links
