Have you looked at the sonix disks???  NOTICE all the instruments have
xxx.INSTR  as the name...SONIX is one of the "brain-damaged" tools that imposes
a strict suffix!  then also note on page 179 of the manual, it goes into how to
"import" an IFF instrument, and transform it into a sonix SS (or sampled sound)
instrumnent.

hope this helps.....
