NOTICE all the instruments have xxx.INSTR as the name...SONIX is one of the "brain-damaged" tools that imposes a strict suffix! then also note on page 179 of the manual, it goes into how to "import" an IFF instrument, and transform it into a sonix SS (or sampled sound) instrumnent. hope this helps..... scott (p.s.

Yeh, but I for one have *NEVER* got an IFF instrument to work with Sonix, only anything with an .INSTR suffix. A program I would highly recmmend is Aegis Audiomaster, which can convert IFF files to INST files, as well as being a pretty good sample editor. I currently use it with Perfect Sound and it sounds pretty good. Lee Carter. P.S. There is also a little P.D. utility on the disk that disables the low- pass filter on the A500.
