Yamaha R&D, London Studio Series Sample Library (SD)

Seems like these were released as two collections, the first 12 floppies in a "rock" set and the second 12 in an "orchestral" set

Sampling Sound Data Bank Series (DBS)

I'm unable to source DBS-105, DBS-406, DBS-502, and according to what I've been able to see in a japanese yamaha catalog from 1992, DBS-406 and DBS-502 might not even exist. If you have a lead on where to get these, even if it means I have to get the physical disks, please contact me.

Yamaha Synth Zone

These were present on Yamaha's official TX16W site at one point, so I'm counting them as official releases, even though they don't have catalog numbers.

Sound Source Unlimited

There are a lot of these that don't seem to have been copied anywhere online, and I can't seem to find a full list of their tx16w library. I'm adding catalog numbers piecemeal, from what I can identify from photos, or other listings online, so there may be errors. For consistency with other libraries I'm giving multi-disk sets with the same catalog number "a" and "b" designations
