One of the reasons I posted these samples was to show my 
appreciation for all of the other great samples I have been able to 
download for free. As far as the ethics are concerned: there are 
dozens of commercially available sample libraries that have drum 
boxes and other synths represented, and I doubt that there are any 
royalties being paid to the original manufacturers for the use of 
those sounds. My next project, after programming the RM50 kits, is 
going to be a bunch of Casio VZ-1 presets. Is there any difference 
between a nonsample-based synth's presets vs. a sample player's 
presets? Plus, providing the samples of the RM50 does not replicate 
it's functionality - like the ability to have seperate envelopes, 
filters, etc... per voice. And yeah... The RM50 is long discontinued.
