Samples came from a CD-ROM containing the McGill University Samples. These are amazing samples of orchestral players playing very expressive timbres of six notes in each octave of their range. I especially like the cello martele, piccolo, tuba, and trombone. The samples CD's are full of bugs, and some have to be retuned, modified, and discarded for a variety of reasons. I spent a lot of time on them after receiving the CD-ROM disk.

Lately I have been using Convolve opcode to simulate reverb. I use Csound to convolve the output with Impulse Response files from Angelo Farina.
