NSI Instruments

Magenta is a Google Brain project that has created something called NSynth which seems to be extracting the audio DNA from samples and then mixing it all together in a user controllable synth. While I can't give you the synth (it is highly confusing) which will hopefully someday come out as a VST, I can apparently use the NSynth Dataset to create more traditional though possibly funky sounding instruments. So far I've done a grand total of 1 instrument but more are probably on the way as the dataset contains about 1000...
These instruments have 5 velocity layers and are chromatically sampled. I've finally added in a Reverb to the GUI as well and thanks to my friend at VST4Free for the background image.
