Enjoy!

WOW!

Yea..thas wot i was thinkin when i peeped it yesterday. I downloaded em all!

me to. so now i will just take some of my time to sort out those sets i would like to use and try them on my sp-404.. thank's for the tip!

me too....really woowww and really thanks! =D

i gotta load some of these up and make sumthin w/ em soon!

Any other drum machine sample links anyone???

I have an RY30 and it sounds a million times better than those samples.... probably the same with most of the other machines too. You can't really expect to emulate a drum synth with samples any more than you can emulate a moog with a set of samples.

I like the lo fi cheesiness of the samples. When I use em i'll add efx and resample em anyhow! But, I agree a drum machine is bound to sound better than the samples.

Yeah man they are still worth getting if you don't have the real thing. I hate when I look back at something I've posted and think "what a pompous git I must sound like!!"...I do love my RY30 though - you can make the hugest 808-style booms with it

i can't seem to import the wav files into the 404 via my compact flash... i've imported other wav files on the same card but can't seem to import these ones. any suggestions?

I dunno mahn...I didn't have any trouble with the samples I imported. Make sure your Cf card isn't full already. You could try opening them up into a soun editor and exporting them as a WAV again, and then try importing them. Maybe some of the short samples don't load up, so for that again open them up in a soundeditor and add a second or so of silence.

If you haven't got a sound editor on your puter try downloading Audacity its free.

thanx 4 the tip. i'll try and do that.
