Have been thinking of something like this for a while but a recent post finally made me go for it:
So I created a NSMP file containing some of the samples from Pink Floyd Tunes. (takes 9.8 MB of space)

I will also upload a zip file with the project file and all waves so you can easily see how the samples are created and edit them, add new ones etc.

Here are the ones I used so far (and the key assigned to):

C4: On the Run
D4: Money
E4: Time
F4: High Hopes
G4: Echoes (OK you could create it yourself by running a Piano thru the Leslie Emulation, but not on all boards)
A4: Welcome to the machine

• Pink Floyd Samples Demo.mp3

All other keys are silent (by useing a silent wave (complete silenced sample worked for me).
The most important thing is to get the loop points right. The suggested values worked surprisingly well for most of the samples. It could also be nice to adjust the alternative attack so you can retrigger a sample while skipping the (typical) intro part. But given the correct set loop parts, I would use them as one-shot samples anyways.

On the NS2, using the HOLD button you can just trigger it ones, then e.g., switch to the other slot and start playing Piano Organ Synth etc.
Also, you can easily apply effects, Filters etc. to manipulate the samples on the go (see the demo on the intro of "On the run" using a Flanger FX.

Anyway, feel free to use the original files and edit or add other samples you might like.

This is great! Thanks for uploading!

Awesome! Great job.

Glad you like it!
@Georg: got your PM. Good idea, just wasn't sure whether to include the outro of "Have a Cigar" - probably not!
So here is v2 now including:

B4: Sheep
C5: Wish you were here (the final loop over the radio or whatever noise is not perfect, probably would be better to take it from another long loop...intro should be OK).

Thank you so much. My band will lke it and so do I!

These are great! Thank you!

hah! I was toying with posting one I did recently for Thriller, but I don't know how this might overstep fair use.

Excellent work. Many thanks
