Contact us for more info on how that's done.

Samples- AIFF File - For Macintosh or Sampler owners who want the sample sounds as a AIFF file.

If you choose the Sampler Disk format the disks must be sent to you in the mail. Due to the special sampler formats in this case the data can not be stored on your hard drive and can not be e-mailed to you. Please include the numbers of the disks you want with your order and please don't forget to tell us which sampler you have. Choose either Ground or Express shipping in this case.

Not sure how e-mail delivery works? It's quick, simple, and FREE! And best of all, you can have your new sounds the same day of placing your order.

Here is how it works: After you place your order, we e-mail you a user name and a password along with a link to our download site. Just click on the link in the e-mail, sign in with the user name and password and download your new sounds. After you download, save the sounds to your computer hard drive or a PC formatted floppy disk, smart media card or CD-ROM. Then you can load in our sounds from your synths floppy, CD or Smart Media Device.

If your synth does not have a floppy drive then you can load in the sounds through your synths "MIDI port", by doing a System Exclusive (SysEx) data transfer. We provide the software with your order that lets you load the sounds into your synth. For more info on how that all works please check out our Sysex Made Simple Tutorial. If you have any questions or problems with the e-mail delivery we will be happy to assist. Go Green! If you never did it before you will be amazed at how quick and easy it is. Why spend more money on shipping and have to wait longer too? E-mail delivery is the way to go.
