Re: CMI IIX 'Old Strings' factory sound?

2010-03-23 by tomulcahy

Actually I'm probably wrong. Was the CMI series 1 released with a library? Seems unlikely. If anyone has a link to a list I'd appreciate it. There was a pdf that Peter Weilk made of the library after he organised it. Does anyone know where it is?

Thanks. :)
