Is there any hope of extracting the samples out of the Kompact format? (Not familiar with it, are they just regular wav's with header info used by the sampler?)

[Hysteric]

I don't think you can, you have to use the player the sounds come with, there are some pretty good sounds there, even just to try out, the price is right.

I don't really know (yet). But i just found out about the software Extreme Sample Converter http://www.extranslator.com/. And according to their list of supported formats http://www.extranslator.com/formats.html It may be able to convert the samples into a more convenient sample format. I haven't tried it yet though. I'll get back on this issue.
