Sounds intriguing for sampling purposes, since I'm using my S950 almost exclusively for percussion. Are there any other CD drum sources suitable for sampling out there that anyone knows of? (I've ordered a board that will allow me to sample direct from CD.) I've heard of the McGill University set, but it's a lot of dollars. BTW, did anybody happen to catch the articles in the AFM rag flaming McGill for producing their CD sample source set. They claimed this would cost scores of musicians' jobs, and they all but black-listed the musicians who "performed" for the sampling process. I don't know how you others feel, but I was rather amused by how intimidated they are by technology ... brian
