Question re plain .afp files

Post by Jokeyman123 »

I have just come across a huge repository tracing the history of the many users in this group who created sound collections over the past 15 years-not Lipi's collection which is exclusively FM sounds. My question is simple-and before I do somthing to mess up my fusion's file system-many of these collections look as i would expect, with the normal file/folder structure for sounds, samples, mixes etc. However, many are simply folders containing strictly .afp (sound programs) files, no samples or any other folders. Is it safe to assume these folders, if copied as a simple volume, will show up correctly in the Fusion as discrete sound programs in their own bank? I think so but wanted to be sure before I end up with programs I can't find or trace. There are porgams in this repository for example from Falcon, Guy DenRuyter, Gwen Hwyfaer, Mark One, Luc Henrion and many others. Very interesting work done over many years-and I don't even remember where i found it! Over 1.5GB compressed as an ISO file.

Yeah, I remember those names . . . .They're mostly dormant for whatever reason . . . .

I would suggest that .afps that have no sample/multisamples associated are probably variants on

The resident ROM based content?

Since the locations of those are fixed - I would suppose they should work . . . . :think:

Those are probably sounds/programs that I had collected over the years, mostly the first ten or fifteen years from 2005 on.
I placed them in my MediaFire WEB site, prior to that I posted them on drummonds website

Here's a pdf that most likely lists all those sounds
