Hi all,

Rory from Boxed Ear here.

Sadly, we can't supply the original SND files, which have since been sacrificed to the "click of death" god. Goddamn ZIP disks :angry:

I'm curious though. Do you guys think there any market for commercial 60/3000 soundsets? They would have to be delivered as SND files via normal download as I have no interest in dealing with ZIPs or floppies. This means they would only appeal to those people who have working computer SCSI or have figured out how to hotswap media cards (something I can't get working on my 60). My gut feeling has always been that there are too few tech savvy 3000/60 users out there to make it worth it, but perhaps I'm wrong.

can't please everyone - personally I'm happy to use a file converter, then to transfer to my CF drive for my 3000. old samplers are hassle anyway, converting a few files isn't the worst thing in the world/

free sounds is free sounds!

I think converting to SND will work find for these wavs. Most of the character imbued on a sound by the mpc60 comes from the input A>D convertors, which would be bypassed by the conversion process. Not exactly the same I, but close enough :)
