Oh I should have clarified. What I meant about 'acquiring floppies' was about actually getting samples that were made for the S1100. I can record anything into my S1100 just fine and I read hte manual and know how to do that. That's all good. At the moment I am just trying to get a decent sized sample library onto my zip drive so I can start making beats with a sequencer (which is a whole other thread I would like to start). I definitely want to use the %^#@ out of my sampler but I am just stuck without samples right now.

I am a bit new to samplers in general so forgive my ignorance. It sounds like maybe I don't need samples that are on floppies made for the S1100 and I could find other sample libraries and convert them to S1000 format with Chicken Translator and save them to my zip drive with the Tranlator as well. Or just play record them directly onto the S1100 as you suggest. It would be faster to find a large samnple library though and just load up the zip disk.

I do intend to do a lot of direct recording of samples to though...probably not drums as much as syths and odd instruments that would be fun to sample....fax machines...powertools, pets...etc.

As a long term solution to storage I am definitely going to get either a card reader or floppy emulator and thanks for the advice on the razinmonster.

Cheers,
