Good morning guys,

Thanks for the response. I feel relatively confident that this sound block which is included on the hard drive is not part of the normal string kit that would be included in ROM (but I'm no expert, that's for sure).

Last night I had the manual out looking at the very beginning, the additional insert that describes all that is included on the hard drive. First ya get all those great songs (midi files but in block format), then you get all those additional sounds and then the additional styles.

Most of the sounds are new samples right? When you load them, you get the little curly-cue after it indicating it's made from an outside sample. Plus, when loading the SN_STRN1 block, you get that message that states you will replacing sounds temporarily in ROM, perform a General Reset to get the original sounds back.

I went to GM's site and grabbed a copy of the manual. It's on page 13 of the Hard Drive List section. SN_STRN1...16 different string samples.

So I need somebody to load that block into RAM, then save the RAM contents to a floppy and save as SN_STRN1.BLK. Unless somebody has a copy from a backup or something.

Thanks again in advance.
