Creation of a sample library

What Sample packs do producers want?

The ambient toolkit volume 2 library has been released for 2weeks now and has done well in terms of interest and sales.The sample library market is a fairly recent phenomenon and it would be interesting to find out who buys sample packs,why,what situations are they most useful in for producers and what types of sample packs would producers,musicians,dj's etc like to see more of?

There are loads of genres and sub genres,particularly in electronic music.Some genres become fashionable quickly and many sample library labels release packs to reflect the popularity of these genres.This is totally understandable as it is obviously beneficial to capitalise on a strong area of growth in any market,but what about the potential influence that sample library producers could have on future musical genres.Instead of reacting to changes in the market,what if sample producers became the trend leaders in creating new musical genres.

With software like able ton available,it has become easy to mix loops together and musical phrases from any genre.Hip hop beats could be worked together with acoustic guitar loops,generative synth sequences and dub bass lines without too much trouble.Some of these combinations obviously wouldn't work but the potential for creativity is there.
As a sample pack producer,the potential to put together sounds that wouldn't normally co exist in one pack might open up some creative possibilities for producers.So how about a sample pack with old school hip hop beats,folk guitars,sci fi sequences,jazz chords and generative ambient sequences.It may get messy but the creative possibilities would be open for my customers enabling them to create some unique tracks.I listen to Madlib a lot and have been inspired by the way he puts countless styles together to create an individual sound.any way just some thoughts from me on the future,any one with some opinions on what type of sample packs they would love to hear,let me know.Peace for now Papas st germain.
