I’m trying to find where I can download individual notes, for say an organ, guitar, or any instrument really… so I can play them in my game/program.
I can’t seem to find any kind of resource for this, so I’m beginning to wonder if I’m going about this the wrong way.
Any input/suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,

What you’re looking for is called a “sample library”. Usually what you get is a single note or a few octaves of a single note from an instrument of a given key, which you load into a sampler that makes the proper pitch adjustments to “play” that instrument for a given scale.
It’s reasonably easy to find royalty-free sample libraries, particularly on discs bundled with print editions of magazines like “Music Tech” or “Future Music.”
You might take a look at the OLPC samples I found here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Free_sound_samples
Of course, you have to do your own pitch adjustment to the notes you get out of a sample library. If you’re adventurous you can use the “secret undocumented” OpenAL API to do this.
