Digging around on my A3000 hard drive, I found Madonna's Vogue that we digitized and sequenced to efficiently reuse the repeated bits - and while the quality isn't what we would expect today - for the early 1990's (wayyy before mp3) it was flipping amazing. - And I still have my PerfectSound digitizer hooked up to my A1000! Gawd those were good times! | |

I considered inspecting things a bit further and possibly making disk images of those instrument patch floppies and seeing if I can figure out the filesystem and sample format, maybe allowing a direct digital conversion, but never got around to it. | |
