| Marimba | Pianoteq | Xylo Instrument Pack: Bass Marimba Link Sampled from a Bergerault 5 octave Marimba. Used in the X-ylozynthian-mas E-Concert |
| Vibraphone | Pianoteq | Vibes Instrument Pack: V-M Link Sampled from a Musser Vibraphone. I'm happy with these samples, since I figured out how to adjust the motor effect. Used in the X-ylozynthian-mas E-Concert |
| Xylophone | Pianoteq | Xylo Instrument Pack: Xylophone Link Sampled from a Bergerault 3.5 octave Xylophone. It is okay. Lower end sounds a little dead, so I may keep looking. Must transpose +1 or +2 octaves. |
| Glockenspiel | Pianoteq | Celeste Instrument Pack: Glockenspiel Link Sampled from a Bergerault GV glockenspiel. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of these, so I may keep looking. Must transpose +1 or +2 octaves. Up to C8. I'd rather it had been up to F8. Used in the X-ylozynthian-mas E-Concert |
| Tubular Bells | Pianoteq | Bells and Carillons: Tubular Bells Link Sampled from Bergerault JC18 chimes. Samples are good and free. Unlike in Apple MainStage, the dampener actually works. Up to F5. I'd rather it had been up to G5. Used in the X-ylozynthian-mas E-Concert |
| Crotales | FluidSynth | UIowa: Crotales Link Sampled from two octaves of Crotales. |
| Harp | Pianoteq | Harps Instrument Pack: Concert Harp Link Sampled from a Salvi concert grand harp. I've been asked several times to play Harp parts. Most electric harps I've heard don't sound real to me. Used in the X-ylozynthian-mas E-Concert |
| Celesta | Pianoteq | Celeste Instrument Pack: Celesta Link Sampled from a "modern five-octave German brand". I've been asked a few times to play Celesta parts. I like the MainStage Celesta more, but this is fine. Used in the X-ylozynthian-mas E-Concert |
| Grand Piano | Pianoteq | KIViR: Erard Link Sampled from Sébastien Erard (1922). Pianoteq has several pianos for purchase. I'm not sure what a "good" piano sounds like, but this free one sounds good to me. |
| Electric Piano | Pianoteq | KIViR: CP-80 Link Sampled from Yamaha CP-80 (1978). |
| Harpsichord | Pianoteq | KIViR: Blanchet Link Sampled from François-Etienne Blanchet (1733). |
| Classical Guitar | FluidSynth | UIowa: Guitar Link Sampled from Raimundo 118. On this particular SF2, one note had a timing issue, and another note is on the wrong octave. |
| String Bass | FluidSynth | UIowa: Double Bass Pizzicato Link Sampled from Anton Krutz (2004). Must transpose -2 or -3 octaves. Seemed like a good idea to include a non-wind instrument that is lower than the Marimba. |
