With Cubase Audio it is very easy to use those AIFF-Samples as drum-samples together with the sequencer. I used in on an Atari Falcon and in general it worked fine. But don't expect it to be like a real sampler. I hope you have once of the new and fast PowerPC Apples, otherwise it might get difficult. Also you might be able to use the AIFF-drum-samples with the latest Quicktime as MIDI-instruments. I don't know, how good or bad that works (if it does). Depending on how much money you want to spend, there are of course some other possibilities f.e. from DigiDesign. (if you have that much money you should consider getting a real 808, that's more fun!) best wishes and success, electron Sounds and Visions from the Wicked World of Electronic Dance Music http://music.city.de/wicked
