The old Heart Of Africa and Heart Of Asia discs have some very useable 
sounds. They are from the 32 meg sampler generation, so there isn't an 
abundance of multi velocity layers. But they do have the buzzing and 
other articulations mapped out in sample sets. I think it's Heart Of 
Africa vol. 1 that has what you are looking for.
