Hey?!! What?
In any event, what I rapidly discovered is that I have no sounds. I'm used to my large (around 25GB) sample library that I've made over the last 10-odd years being handy. As it no longer exists, I keep finding myself annoyed that I don't have a sound I'm looking for. So I need to go get some sounds.
So, what's your favorite bread-n-butter loop and sample site? Or loop CDs that don't fucking blow. I don't mind paying for shit, and I'll even pay a lot, but what I don't want is having to sift through tons of shit. Obviously, I have BFD and Guru, so most of my stock drum needs are taken care of. And the first person that mentions Freesound is getting their IP banned. That site is a nice concept, but a useless tragedy in execution.

Wow, that's not at all what you asked for. I can make you one, but I cannot guarantee that it will not blow. Of course neither can any manufacturer. Damn subjectivity.
link [www.hollowsun.co...]">link [www.hollowsun.co...] has quite a lot of different vintage synth and keyboard instrument samples, mostly individual notes/hits.
I found some great dub samples in there, but there is a wide variety.
Also, check out Goldbaby's MPC60 TR Series expansion pack for GURU, Battery, etc, blah blah link: link [www.goldbaby.co]">link [www.goldbaby.co.n...]
Not free, but cheap
You could also boot up your Mac and use Logic's suite of soft-instruments...Sculpture for one.

Seems like the crackers might have been right then... I remember that way back when SX3 was cracked the people who did it claimed that the software made insane amounts of calls to the dongle regularly... Googling around a bit finds this from the release info file:
"Unbelievable way you transform an application. We estimate that between 30%-40% of the application are wrapped in the script protection. Protection is one thing but this surely effects an application performance. You probably could get a performance gain of 50% without the protection!!"
Yuck.
