Need Fl studio packs please?

[Sinn Ick]

Hi guys, i'm very new here and am going to try my hardest to produce something in time for Ballon Party, but i seem to have run into some problems. The standard packs with FL studio are just.. awful, im desperately in need of some free decent packs, anything would help.
Thank you very much

This is one of the sites I use for samples and free vsts.

On the right side there is a drop down menu saying "search samples" click that then find a pack that interests you and download it!

FLP - a whole fruity loop song
Preset - A setting on a vst or a synth patch
MIDI - Notes to a song that work in the piano roll in FL
VSTI - softaware synth
VST - a plugin, like an effect or compressor or eq ect..
I foget what soundfonts are sorry.

Soundfonts are kinda like the poor man's Nexus. Now, don't let that description fool you, though. Soundfonts are basically presets of just about any sort, but usually they're real instruments, and each note has its own sample, in effect, so you can get really good sounding strings, pianos, guitars, etc., and they're more than often free (legitimately). Now, I've only just started using soundfonts, but I'm blown away with them. Sure, you can get some real stinkers, but you just don't use those.

tl;dr, soundfonts are a free way of getting a vast multitude of sounds, for use with Fruity Soundfont Player (or any other soundfont player, there's a ton of them, and they're all free)

Another huge upside to soundfonts (if you're an FL user) is that Fruity Soundfont Player is a native instrument (obviously) and as such, has full integration with all the nifty things FL Studio can do, like portamento's and slides with the piano roll (great for making a dynamic violin solo). The Fruity Soundfont Player has just enough bells and whistles to do what you want, but not enough to confuse you and make you want to throw your computer in a lake. So far, I've only really used the ASDR envelope modifiers, because I haven't really found a need to do much else, but on the other hand, I've only used soundfonts so far to replicate real instruments, namely Cellos and Violins, because I'm too broke to buy something like Kontakt. And too lazy to download it.

But honestly, I'm hugely satisfied with soundfonts, they just offer so much for free.

tl;drtl;dr, I think Soundfonts is a pretty cool guy. Eh makes instrumnts and doesn't afraid of anything.

EDIT: Further use, I have come to the conclusion that using soundfonts will SIGNIFICANTLY increase your final rendering time, if you're rendering them in HQ. Which you should be. You're not?

Y U NO RENDER IN HQ?!

128 point sampling on an input channel tends to take a rather long time

Since Wintergreen said all i was going to say (and better since i don't know much of the technical aspect of soundfonts) what i can do is give you links to said sf2s:

Homemusician.net

A good soundfont archive. If you are going to use soundfonts, i would recommend to get the 27mg symphony hall bank. It adapts completely to basic MIDI. Though last i checked, search wasnt' working.

Sf2Midi

An even bigger soundfont archive. You can essentially find here whatever you want/need here, of course with varying quality. You need to sign up to download though (ignore the price, there are free downloads available, though you have to go through five different pages to download an individual file).

Woolyss

Contains mostly 8-bit and 16-bit video game chiptunes.

Zophar's Domain

While it's actually a ROM hacking website, they have a short list of soundfonts from specific games. You can find for more games online if you feel inclined towards that.
