Looking for a useful pack of samples that I could use in SP. Preferably free! Any ideas? ---

Hi @birv2, have a look at [these seminar resources](https://github.com/mbutz/sonicpi-leuphana-ws1920/blob/master/session-overview.md#samples-download). If you do and should spot something which is not up to date anymore I will be grateful for a note 😉 ---

Zowie!! What a list of resources. Would it be ok with you if I linked to it for my own presentation? There’s no way I could duplicate this! And thanks for the reply. I’m digging! ---

Yes, never even thought of that. With Google Translate, I don’t think sources in another language is quite the barrier that it used to be! Thanks again. ---

Hi there, be careful with the licensing. I normally stick to CC0 licensed samples to avoid any problems. That way I can even distribute the samples, be it in a changed or unmodified form. Maybe helpful if you maybe want to sell your music or whatever 🙂 Cu. ---

Thanks for the heads up. I can’t imagine selling my music under any circumstances ever, but I do try to be aware of copyright. ---
