That seems pretty simple...the default samples could be created computationally
(a simple sine or square wave), with options for loading samples from IFF files
on startup (Perhaps with a "LoadBeep <filename>" in the Startup-Sequence). 

A LoadBeep program would really be necessary, of course, unless they're building
an IFF reader into 1.4 (So it could be done during the initial Preferences
setting).
