![“Frank [Zappa] always wanted to do a sound library - he sampled so many great musicians. For piano, for example, he sampled every octave, not just one (that you could just transpose electronically), and he did all different types of attack, with and without pedals, all that kind of stuff.” quote by Gail Zappa](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4f8/gail-zappa-26739_different_frank-zappa-always-wanted-to-do-a-sound_1969237.jpg)
