    I think the only real and most obvious benefit is that you have samples that no one else has, which makes you unique.
    You will learn a lot about processing sound because you can experiment freely and create your own techniques which again will make you more unique and hopefully recognizable.

    Not sure what you’re asking. If you render a midi part you’ve created a sample?

    This may satisfy your curiosity.

    A decade ago, I produced some sample packs for Loopmasters, they turned me down.

    Recently I decided to make them free and uploaded them to my website, one pack is also on sis site don’t know why they didn’t upload the other one?

    Curious, I used them myself on two tracks released last year, ‘Dirty Bassline’ & 'Tik Tok,' so you can judge if the effort was worth it or not if you want.

    'Dirty Bassline' has several samples and is built around them, 'Tik Tok' has just one, the lead riff.

    If you're interested both sample packs are Royalty Free and are available to download from my website.
