I'd like to have some really good sample collections that are programmed to take full advantage of my STS sampler. As I remember, it can turn Giga to Akai or soundfont, and does it well. My free copy of Giga LE has a good sample converter built in. Wizoo's cd's of the DX7, Nord, and Waldorf synths are good deals, They were $20 each. They seem a little lifeless, but enhanceable by Creamware's goodies. It has a lot of good sounds on it, but not much that really hits the spot. The Akai CD I have is CD #1 from Akai's series, it's a general collection. These are cheap and have lots of character, I really like them. I also have some Orchestral and early/rare instrument soundfonts downloaded from The converted patches don't have the same dynamic expressiveness as the originals.īeware, some Roland disks just say 's-series', and might be for their earlier ( 12-bit ) samplers. I eventually got myself the Roland sampler to play these on. A few ( of the converted patches )have bad loop points or something. I converted them with CDXtract to STS, and most of them come out ok. Roland has these older disks for the S-700 series that are really good. Do we want to get the bigger-sample format and convert? Might be the same thing with larger samples! Aargh.

They might offer the same CD in other formats. Of course the manufacturers try to make the samples small enough to get more than one sound in memory at once. They represent lots of talent, character, and hard work.Ĭd's for Akai S1000 are made for that sampler's memory, 32 megs max!

In general I'm really impressed with the currently available sample cd's. I have a Kurzweil k2600xs and a Roland S-760 too. I really like the STS, and I've been shopping for samples to use with it.
