The other thing to mention is that some of the raw samples are crude. For example ST-30/snare21:

00000000  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 41 4e  |..............AN|

00000020  65 72 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 42 4f 44 59 00 00  |er........BODY..|
00000030  1b 84 ff 00 ff 00 00 00  ff 00 00 ff 00 ff ff 00  |................|

Doesn’t have a full IFF header in this case, so you’ll have to load it as raw and manually cut at least the first 50 samples/bytes. ST-67/lightning is another example of a partial IFF header:

00000000  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 42 4f 44 59 00 00  |..........BODY..|
00000010  25 c6 2a 96 b5 2a 00 cd  40 0a d1 15 7f f0 84 b7  |%.*..*..@.......|

Again cut say the first 18 samples.

Then there are other raw samples that have bad starting places. For example ST-20/J.T Voice:

00000000  00 ce 00 ce 05 05 00 ff  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |................|
00000010  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |................|
00000020  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |................|
00000030  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 ec fb  |................|

Looks like at least cut around the first 62 samples(?)
