[Rwp] importing samples and playing them on a keyboard as an instrument

Tue Feb 16 19:30:35 EST 2016

Chris, I won't take much of your time like last night, but have you gotta 
minute?  If so, can you e-mail me your number off list?  I accidentally 
deleted it.  I have a real real quick question for ya, or, so I hope. if 
it's not quick, then we can discuss further troubleshooting and maybe me 
paying you a little more down the road.

Hopefully this shouldn't take more than about 5 minutes, max.

Chris.
