Lexicon 960L Impulses - download

Thanks to Randy Hetherington for providing these files! I have been using them regularly in Logic 8 with Space Designer and they are really great. Of course you cannot customize them as you would when using the actual 960L, but Space Designer has its own set of awesome tools.

MIDI Test File

This file is designed to provide a comprehensive test of a sampled instrument. It currently only has a single note length (quarter-note) but can be easily changed using the tempo function of your sequencer. It has a range sweep at 4 different velocity levels (31, 63, 95, and 127) and single note velocity sweeps at 32 different velocity levels.
