       to make a sample set, you don't sample every
 key. Especially for synth 
 
 sounds, thats a bit excesive.
 
 
 
 On the other hand, something like Extreme Sample Converter
 goes a long way 
 
 toward automating the task.

 I use the BassMIDI soundfont player, which provides a lot of
 control options 
 
 and can do some very useful things. But I'm not looking
 forward to having to 
 
 sample every sound from both a Matrix 6r and a Matrix 1000,
 1100 patches, 
 
 across at least 61 keys to get several huge sound banks that
 would require a 
 
 lot of memory in a machine to load the sounds, so though
 that has some 
 
 possible value it's not optimum. I'll do that if I
 have to, but I'd rather 
 
 not.
 
 Any free VST or, preferably, stand alone player would be
 great. (I'll have 
 
 to use a VST interface like VST Host for my current setup,
 as QWS, my 
 
 current sequencer, doesn't have VST support)
