[ I realized I had responded to Carl alone, before ] The path will be hard for me to convey. It's got no discernible relationship to where my Doggiebox kits are stored. The reason for this is simply that, when I set out to build the kit, I had not considered sharing it (sorry). Because of this selfishness, the relationship of the sounds to the kit is somewhat convoluted. If I'm not mistaken, a user is prompted to locate the files anyway, so it doesn't really matter where they are. Ben, please correct me if this is not true. A conversion from linked to embedded samples should make the kit rather portable, but it will be about 50 megs after this conversion. The path is something like /Users/Users/michael/Downloads/ns_kit7freeWAV/samples/<filename>.wav. Doggiebox is somewhere else entirely. It's not in my Applications folder, but on a separate drive. I would not bother to try to recreate the path relationship between the two. The font I used was Myriad Bold, sized appropriately to the specific graphic.

I don't know if my notes were saved with the kit. I made some remarks about the 75 meg file size of the nskit7 drumset. I also noted that not all of the drums were needed. Only about 10 percent of the available drums went into my version of the DB kit. More would be overkill.
But of course I decided I wanted to play around and twiddle some other sounds in :) Which leads me to ask: what font did you use for the lettering on your icons? I was making some variants just using plain Arial in bold face, but they somehow just weren't as visible, and looking closely I can see that your icons' letters have slightly thicker horizontal strokes and slightly different glyph shapes.
Also, what was the path to the samples your dbkit expected? I figured I would try to put all the samples I'm using in the same place, more or less (I have several partially assembled kits of various sorts, some of which reference the same samples, which is the other reason I can think of to link rather than embed, even just on one's one machine). I made a Samples directory in Applications/Doggiebox and threw the ns-kit download in there, so the full path to a give sample is something like Applications/Doggiebox/Samples/ns_kit7freeWAV/samples/<filename>.wav.
Looking forward to playing with all this :)
Cheers, Carl
