Yeah I've read that one, not much practical advise in there, but thanks.
I found this on youtube

Which is quite usefull.
to be honest I'm not sure what I was hoping to achieve with this thread, I've had my s3000 for about ten years, so in terms of operating it I'm ok, allthough I havent used it that much, I've only recently got back into it.
So I'm in no way an expert, just very familiar with it.

I've seen some floppy disks of synth's and other instruments on ebay, by 'midi Mark' I think, has anyone tried them?
Or can anyone advise me on a good source for pre-made programs?

My main problem with the programs I create is there is usualy only about 3-4 usuable notes before it sounds blatently like a sampler.

I think I'll have to spend a day trying to create a few a multi sampled programs, I find it hard to get the loop points correct without changing the pitch.

Thanks man
Yeah that's a good one, I knew about that one but only ever realy used it for basslines.
Cheers.

ok not exactly a cutting edge trick there but even so.... good sounds.

Anyone want to give me one of there own programs ?
haha I'm such a cheep sod.

Thanks for all the advise people.
