Maybe using a rather narrow definition of 'useful'. If I want to use samples, I'm going to look at specimen first. If specimen doesn't do what I want, then I might consider using one of the more complex applications. I think Pete deserves some kudos for his work and this should not be seen as any slight on the great work going on in other departments. cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk
