Hi all, apologies if this has been asked before.
Is there a list of available sample packs for the Prophet X anywhere?
In my searches I can only seem to find samples of synths and a couple of pianos.
Thanks!

I can’t say whether it is definitive, but yehudarothschild.com (https://yehudarothschild.com/prophet-x-patches-samples/) has a list put together: https://yehudarothschild.com/prophet-x-patches-samples/ (https://yehudarothschild.com/prophet-x-patches-samples/)

Thank you Shaw!
It looks from that list that everything is synths plus a piano - except maybe the very first one ‘hypnotic pads’, but there is very little information there.
It seems to me that the available samples in regards non-synths/ pianos is virtually nil. It would be great to see some other instruments / ambiences / organic type stuff, but I guess that would not happen now.

There are quite a few sample libraries that are available as raw samples, and those are relatively trivial to import into the Prophet X. It might be your best bet for expanding the options available.

You could import almost any sample / multi sample set you can find in a non-proprietary format. There are sample sets out there in .wav format. Those could be imported with very little effort.
EDIT: … what Lady Gaia said….

Thanks Lady Gaia and Shaw!
How do you import the WAV files in non-PX format? Is that using the PX Toolkit?
-
That's PXToolkit's whole reason for existing. It's intended to make it really easy to bring in raw samples (and it accepts a variety of formats, so you're good to even if you have some unusual sample rates, 24-bit source material, or samples in AIFF instead of WAV.)

PX Toolkit is brilliant. Easier to use than 8dio’s utility, and (at least at the time I last did samples) it is more capable.

PX Toolkit is a very elegant piece of software that puts 8Dio's efforts to shame.
