This is a humble collection of various samples and loops that I
created for the Roland S-10 sampler.

BobSegerDrumLoop

	I am currently working on an album project for my band Rocket
Park (http://www.rocketparkmusic.com), and the S-10 is my sampler of
choice for creating drum loops for our drummer Eric Moore to play
along to.  Although I also own an S-550, making drum loops on the S-10
is so much quicker and easier, plus I like the lo-fi feel that its
lower sampling rate brings into play.  While most of my drum loops I
created were used and then thrown out (not enough Quick Disks to go
around and transferring an A-B-C-D pattern via MIDI takes too long),
I did end up saving this one.  Its source is an extremely scratchy 45
of the early Bob Seger single, "Rambling Gambling Man"!

Lunapad (fixed)

	The original Lunapad came from the now-defunct S-10 Archive
webpage, but it was looped poorly - there was a VERY audible click as
it reached the end of the sample.  All I did was change the loop point.

MellotronFlute

	Pretty self-explanatory - now your old and obsolete sampler
can emulate an even older and more obsolete sampler!  Record that cover
of "Strawberry Fields Forever" you've been planning!  I fashioned this
patch from raw wav files found at J.P. Hovercraft's Mellotron Sample
Page (http://tinpan.fortunecity.com/aphex/113/).  If you want to hear
this sample in action, go to http://www.mp3.com/RocketPark1 and listen
to the studio version of "Heavy Juju".

MellotronStrings

	Goodbye "Strawberry Fields", hello "Court of the Crimson King"!
Again, credit is due to J.P. Hovercraft for the wav's, and you can hear
the S-10 making like a Mark II on the Rocket Park track "Oh No Not Love
Again".

Micro4Bass
Moog1Bass
Moog5Lead
OdyLde1

	A quirky quartet of analog synthesizer sounds derived from some
wav's I found lying around the Internet, featuring the MicroMoog, the
MiniMoog and the ARP Odyssey.

Piano

	Yet another sample I cobbled together from somebody else's wav
files (sorry, I have no idea whose).  Unfortunately, I was never able
to work out exactly how to effectively loop it for a longer sustain,
so all notes tend to fade out unnaturally fast.  A pity, really, as I
like the general SOUND of this sample better than Roland's piano patch.
Nonetheless, here it is, and if you can tweak it to perfection, more
power to ya!

TickTock

	Another off-the-cuff rythym loop I created for a recording (see
BobSegerDrumLoop).  This time the source is the sound of a ticking
mantel clock found on a sound effects album.
