Here's a little thank-you to everyone for a) being cool and b) being supportive. It's NOT the EB-5 bass instrument (not yet - still have some tweaks to make), but it came out of those experiments and it's the harpsichord-like sound I referenced in post #55. Please feel free to download, and I hope you enjoy it. Please post if you have any issues installing the instrument.
 
The download link (good for 7 days): https://www.hightail.com/...elNLb3BITkF6RStHR3NUQw
 
"EB-5 HARPSICHORD" INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIMENSION PRO
 
These instructions are also included in the folder you'll download.
 
It seems the most logical place for the sound is in the folder 01 - Grand Piano folder, as there is no Harpsichord folder.
 
First, unzip the "DimPro EB-5 Harpsichord" folder you downloaded. Then, drag the folder:
 
EB-5_Harpsichord
 
..and the SFZ file:
 
EB-5 Harpsichord.sfz
 
...into the 01 - Grand Piano folder that's located wherever you have your Dimension Pro multisamples. The default location is:
 
C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples\01 - Grand Piano
 
Place EB-5 Harpsichord.prog in:
 
C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Programs\11 - Pianos
 
When you open Dimension Pro's browser to locate the new patch, remember to press F5 with the Dim Pro browser open to refresh the browser and "see" the new patch!! The refresh may take a while; be patient.
 
Note that the mod wheel adds an octave higher "register" when you rotate it forward. Have fun!

Thanks for taste. I prefer not to place non-vendor files into vendor locations so I deviated from the installation instructions. It makes it easier for me to see what I have added to the default DimPro installation. After creating the new EB-5 folders (in anticipation of the rest of the library) in multisamples and programs, it did require updating the EB-5 Harpsichord.prog by re-adding the 4 copies of the EB-5 Harpsichord.sfz into the elements. The relocated files work fine, thanks again.

Thanks for the EB-5 HARPSICHORD Craig. Can't wait for the EB-5 bass instrument. Should be awesome.
 
Cheers,

Thanks for this.  I renamed the patch and folders "Craig Anderton EB-5 Harpsichord" so I could find it and know what it was.  Nice.  Look forward to your EB-5.

Update: I've done all the sampling for three bass instruments. One is full on one-sample-for-each string, the others have fewer samples but use DSP-based transposing to create the missing notes. Two of the instruments use the Tuned Coil Tape feature in the new EB basses, the other is just the neck pickup by itself.
 
Cakewalk has set me up with a way to do transfers for large files. I'll be working on the Dim Pro programs tonight, but don't know if I'll get them all done before NAMM hits...in any event, there's almost ready, so hang in just a bit longer. Meanwhile, I hope you're enjoying the "Harpsichord" patch (remember, the link will expire in a few days so grab it while you can).

I should have known...can't leave well enough alone. I came up with the bass, then thought it would be cool to have one where the mod wheel could add a paralleled wah. And then I did a pseudo-8-string patch, then one where bringing in the mod wheel brings up the level and detuning of a second layer to add a chorusing effect. I'm in the middle of one where the mod wheel adds a filtered suboctave, but it's time to head off to NAMM for a few days...so this thread is going to go dark until next week. See you then!
