Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Im thinking of making a sample CD for the MPC that would include any and all sounds from the above 3 Texas Instruments units. I would probably sell them for $10 + shipping in the MPC formats. Is there any interest out there for something like this?

I have the robots and computers sample cd and this already has speak and spell (all numbers & letters) plus bags of words for use.

Have you cleared the sample usage with originators TI or whoever owns the ditribution rights?

You would need to pay a licencing fee to Texas Instruments (if they give you permission in the first place, which I doubt). After paying that, I cannot see how you would be able to charge $10 as the licencing fee would be more than that per CD.

There are many free software apps on the net that convert words to voice in a Stephen Hawking/SpeaknSpell kind of way, so I think you may be struggling to find a market for your product.
