Bad news, I'm afraid. I hauled the thing out from under the rotting
laundry but, here's a surprise, it didn't work. The LED's are all
fine and even the clock out and metronome ports are giving signals
but, seemingly, the EPROMs are all dead. I've had it in the same
room as a dehumidifier for a week and gone over all the contacts
and pots with Caig 'DeOxit' but still nowt. I can't find the
manual either - it may just be a case of having to replace a lithium
battery but, lifting up the hood, I can't see any sign of one.

However, within just the first three pages of a Google search
(with another 100 odd pages left) for 'Drumtraks + samples':-

A note with at least one of the above claimed 16bit/44kHz resolution.
You'll also find practically every other vintage drum machine
known to man or beast at some of those URL's too.

I see there's also a soundfont of it, including other SCI classics,
online for $9.95. The EXS24 and various utilities can convert
soundfonts to wavs/aifs:

- I daresay, Creative's recording of it will at least be as
good as my humble Audiowerk2.

There appear to be several CD's available too.

Sorry, I couldn't help personally. (I have finally put the
laundry in the washing machine, however).
