[sdiy] free AS3320, AS3340, AS3310 and AS3360 samples

[Nicholas Vining]

+1. I know that the Rhodes Chroma user group, one of the more notoriously 
proactive synth repair communities, are interested to see if there will be 
a reissue of the 3350, as it's the unobtanium in the Chroma's state 
variable filters. There is talk of a group buy of the 3360 as well, if and 
when it is released, as it's also used in the Chroma all over the place; 
it would be nice to know what the roadmap is. :)

(Girts: I fired you an e-mail, but I presume it's dropped in a bucket 
somewhere.)
