Does anyone know where Dr. Floppy can get ahold of the bank of samples used in SNES' Zelda: A Link to the Past? Are they part of the standard SNES instrument kit or something?

Dr. Floppy wishes to try his hand at composing a few new tunes for a down-the-line Z3 hack, and wants to arrange aforementioned samples in a tracking program to hear what everything sounds like prior to programming. (Dr. Floppy hopes he won't have to resort to grabbing snippets of every instrument from .spc files...)

Dr.Floppy should not call it Zelda 3 because even tho its the third Zlelda it is not Zelda 3.
Does Dr.Floppy mean a snippet of music like a wav or mp3 file?

Yeah, I think he wants WAVs, etc. of the instruments so he can lay out the songs so he knows what to insert into the game.
If Hyrule Magic can't do it, then you're probably going to have to do it the ghetto way...or write a program so everyone can do it. Hehheh..."do it"...

Dr. Floppy was afraid of this...

To elaborate, I was hoping to snag a zipfile of (mostly) 1-second .wavs, each one representative of the individual "instruments" used in the Zelda 3 Soundtrack. (Yes, I know it isn't officially Zelda 3, but this seems to be the most efficient way to identify which Zelda game I'm talking about. "SNES-Zelda" sounds lame, and "Zelda-LttP" is somewhat clunky...)

Does Hyrule Magic have something resembling a tracking feature? I was thinking I'd have to arrange everything in ModPlug until I found the precise sample/note/rhythmic combination I wanted to program. (This is the method I'm using for my current hack project.)

There was a tool called SPC2IT which converted SPC files to Impulse Tracker modules, which would give you easy to save samples.
Problem is I can't find it for the life of me.

//Edit

Okay, found it, OpenSPC, available at Zophar's Domain.

SPCTool can also do this. You can rip the entire instrument set from any Zelda 3 spc file.
