Instrument and Note Sampler Beta
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/AddZero/721904
New Version! No longer beta, bugs squashed!
Just drag around the mouse to try out the many instruments and notes!
Use this to quickly test the instruments with an itty-bitty keyboard.
*********************
HIDDEN NOTEBLOCK SFX:
Try finding sound effects that you can add to your projects with just the note block.
For example:
Water Drop Splatter: Woodblock 116, notes 90-120
Explosion: Timpani 48, notes 10-25
Bullet Ricochet. Synth Drum 119 notes 90-120
Racecar Engine: Clarinet 72 notes 7-36 (slide up and down to rev.)
If you find more or better sounding ones, please add them to the comments!

Re: Instrument and Note Sampler Beta
Thanks.
It is neat trying out the different instruments in very high and low notes... some no longer sound like instruments but like Sound Effects. I hope people will try this out and find SFX that we can add to our projects with just the note block. (see above notes.)
Like with the low notes of the Clarinet, I want to add it to a racing game so you can hear the car accelerating. By just picking the low or higher notes based on the speed of the car. It's something we can't do with soundfiles in scratch.
