Does anyone know of any other database for single instrument notes: transverse flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, saxophone (.wav format)?
I'm already using Tinysol and GoodSounds

@sinamusique The IOWA dataset comes to mind, see "UIOWA:MIS" above

@alexanderlerch The UIOWA dataset are .aiff, I need .wav and with dynamic variations, mainly pp, mf and ff.

As far as I understand, the format conversion between aiff and wav is trivial. IIRC, the main difference is whether the data is stored in little-endian or big-endian.

Ok, I'm going to try it!
Thank you @alexanderlerch

@sinamusique Yes, automatic batch conversion between audio formats is possible. Similarly, you can export such sounds from SoundFonts. (How to do that depends on the software / programming language you use.) There are many SoundFonts (for example https://archive.org/details/musyng-kite or http://virtualplaying.com/virtual-playing-orchestra/ and its sources linked therein), some of them might have good woodwind samples with different dynamic markings.

Thanks @VG-account1 It's a good option!

For anyone seaching for the MAPS dataset, here's a new link where it can be accessed:

Thanks @MaxMalmer, it's updated now (and the previous link was there erroneously anyway, not sure how that happened).

Hi Prof Lerch, CCOM-HuQin has released the full dataset with more than 12000 single clips and 57 excerpts with annotations. Here is the link:
https://zenodo.org/record/8140034

Hope this will help! :)

Hey there, René from the University of Würzburg. I have been looking everywhere for a copy of the ACM_Mirum_tempo audio files. Someone had some success finding them? The link provided is sadly down.
