Maged,

Thank you for the info man! I am going to look at this link.

As far as what you said, you are absolutly right about how the SND files work. They are all grouped together as one big file (much like a ZIP file). I have decomposed most of the SND file type into the WAVs that represent the actual samples.

But the only thing holding me back from putting a SND file together is the, *OTHER*, (ie,, header) informatation stored in the intiial SND file. That is where inofmration such as BANK location, sample size, sample key/pitch, loop point, etc ... is stored. Without bieng able to modify that, I wouldn't be able to put in any of your own custom WAVs into a SND file.

However, you (and everyone else here) might be glad to know that I have decided to work on some software that will be a universal converter for all sample types (KORG, GEM, KETRON, etc ..) into WAVs, and eventually, into each other. This may take some time in development, but the end-product will be some professionaly written software that will make everyone who ever owned a sampling keyboard crave for. I cannot tell you much more than this so far, since everyone will be e-mailing me wanting a copy ASAP. But I will defnitly keep everyone on this forum updated on what the deal is.

For now however, I will be glad to change anyone's samples into WAV file (from any instrument) if you e-mail me. So feel free to pass this word around!
