I agree with Bill. Some years ago, I bought an Ensoniq EPS-16+ sampling keyboard. I never did plan to do my own sampling. I just bought commercially available raw samples and tried to turn them into usable voices. I had to spread them across the keyboard, loop and crossfade them, EQ them, apply the envelope parameters, etc, etc. After a couple of months I ended up with two voices that did not sound anywhere near as good as a set of 8 finished voices I could have bought from Ensoniq for $30. After that, I just stuck with the ROMpler keyboards. There is a reason that good sampled voices are somewhat expensive. Good sampled voices take a lot of time and a lot of work to get them to sound right.
