The bank-mechanism of specimen is quite clumsy, it uses absolute
adresses for files and thus the banks cannot be transported, if you have
the wav-files in your home.

So you are best off making your own patches like this:

1.) choose menu/patch/new and name it.
2.) mark the new patch in the list to the left and click "load wavesample"
3.) choose a wave-file you want to play as a sample and click OK ("Load"
does not work)
4.) now have a look at the piano-roll in the lower left:

this one allows you, to make your patch(sample) sensitive to MIDI-notes.
A yellow rectangle is already on it, it represents the note, that plays
the sample un pitched. You can move this point to another note with
middle klicks. to define a range of notes, that should play the sample,
make right klicks right to his point to define the highest note, that
should trigger the sample and a left klick define the deepest note.
Specimen cares for all the needed resampling. Though specimen does not
master the trick to change pitch without affecting the timescale, this
works just great, especially for percussion.Every sample can be mapped
individually as you wish, thus you can make layered samples by mapping
more then one sample to the same notes and tune the velocity-sensitivity
until a snare sample with more bass/punch is only mixed in if you hit
your trigger-pad really hard ;-)
The latter mechanism works even better then the layering in H2 - you can
make velocity trigger cutoff and resonance for instance. I discovered
all its powers after you had asked for a solution for drum sounds aside
H2 ;-)
