As the topic says i just stumbled upon a 1.9gb freebie from EastWest that contains a couple of Quantum Leap samples. Mac or PC package.

Here's the link:

I hope this isn't a doublepost and if it is so then i'm sorry. I did a quick search in the forums and i didn't find any other posts about this so that's why i posted this.

Enjoy

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?)

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.
