Hey there - Are the sample cds that are bundled with the A4000/A5000 any good?
And are they any good for hip hop?

on the whole the cd's are very nice, you can get more sounds at motifator.com and the prices are really low

Another satisfied A5000 user here. Some of the sounds from the sample bundle are pretty useful to me. I like the guitar/bass library, and the piano sounds are decent. The drum library has some useful stuff on it as well. Some of the synth loops are very cool sounding, but are too dominating & identfyable to be too useful to me. I think the string volume is not too good, and sounds more like synth strings than real string sections. I mainly use it for making/importing my own samples, and it is awesome for playing around with samples & tweaking them into new sounds.

Any1 got any links to their sites or other sites where i can hear some hip hop/rnb/reggae/garage beats made from these samples? Can they be converted into wav format for use in say.. fruity loops (plz dont start a fruity mpc or wateva thing!)
