Any old timers on here know more about Doru and his amazing refills?

I was going through samples on an old IDE disk that I don’t use anymore. Anyway I can across some Doru Malaia refills. The drum samples on these are of very good quality. I vaguely remember that I downloaded them maybe illegally many years ago but I’m not so sure anymore.

So I decided to do some Googling to find the original source of these samples. And I was disappointed to hear the original author of these libraries passed away. Props have taken down the archives on the old user forum, I would have liked to read the memorial thread.

I remember. I think most or all of it was free. I didn't have Reason back then but I still have those samples somewhere.

From the early days of Reason.

Kind hearted Romanian dude. Died of something lung related I think? Cancer maybe? These days, we just take it for granted that we can get anything and everything for free if we want it, but back then, quality samples for free weren't that easy, even if you were willing to steal. Great guy. RIP.

Hye
I remember Doru, we used to talk several years ago about refills, mines and the ones he produced.
He was an original guy and he was kind.
I didn't know him except our discussions but i fell sad when he died.

There was that other refill contributor that died years ago too. His name had something to do with mice I'm pretty sure, think he was german? Anyone know?

Yeah, I remember Doru Malaia, really nice guy generous and helpful.
His site is still up, it tells you a little bit about the guy.

I had cleaned out googledrive trying to figure out what was taking up space... turns out pictures uploaded are never deleted... therefore 404 on the free ones I posted way back when
never had the refill you are looking for... but I did send you a message
