Where might all these samples be ? A few of us are trying to put together a free and open General MIDI compatible set of GUS pats, initially, in a way that the raw samples can be built up into SoundFonts or even small light weight gigasamples, or instrument patches of any kind. Please excuse the blatant plug but I believe this is a good cause and we _need_ (at first) free and open source samples to suit GM/GS/XG instruments at http://freepats.opensrc.org --markc
