I haven´t much used the sampling/file import features on the PSR9000 but I would like to start using them more. Sampling was one of the reasons why I upgraded from the PSR4000 which was my previous keyboard. One reason why I haven´t much used these features is that I don´t know much about them.

I have heard that there are many many waw and aiff sample files on the internet but where? I would be very interested especially of brass, woodwind and piano sounds but other samples are also welcome. Where can I find them and what about sample CDs? I asked of my dealer about them but he just told me that they don´t have sample CDs because people don´t much buy them anymore. One reason for this is that they are very expensive. But I could buy a sample CD if they have the sounds that I need. What I really want is the Steinway piano sound in my keyboard. But also some special woodwind sounds like altto flute, sopranino sax, bass clarinet and so on. If I find a sample CD that has these kind of sounds then is the PSR9000 capable of reading them? But where can I find sample CDs with these kind of sounds?

Once I had a chance to play a Steinway grand piano and I also had my keyboard with me in the place where the Steinway was and I wanted to sample it to my keyboards. But I decided not to do it because I didn´t know how to do it. How to mike the instrument, what notes to sample and so on. I would like to learn all these things but where can I find information about sampling and how to sample. I don´t know even the basics. I would be very grateful I someone could help me with this.
