At Akai's site in Japan you can download heaps of free S5000 / S6000 / MPC2000XL samples. There's gigabytes of samples to download. For starters there's two 256Mb grand pianos! It's taken me 5 days to download them all! Obviously the EXS can't read S5000 programs so you'll need a convertor. I got CDXtract and it seems to work very well on some patches and not so well on others. Anyway, here's the link... ftp.akaipro.co.jp Regards, Gordon
