Kawasaki Children's Keyboard IFF Audio Samples
« on: May 31, 2012, 03:30:26 AM »
I have ripped apart one of my Kawasaki Children's Keyboards, tore out the built in speakers, and installed two RCA jacks on the back.

From there I sampled the machine using Digital Sound Studio 8 Plus and saved the files in 8-bit IFF format.

If anyone has any advice on how I could possibly improve the sample quality or anything, feel free to advise.

Thank you and enjoy! ;)

You can sample them in 16 bits instead of 8 on your peecee, at a higher sample rate, and sample each instrument in multiple octaves (just make sure you can still use that sample rate on Amigas).

Need 8 bit? Maximize their volume and convert to 8 bit (make sure the samples don't clip). Also, don't let the instruments fade, use music software to do that (Amiga hardware volume settings are MUCH better for 8 bit fading).


Looks like I can set it for multiple Octaves and 16-bit sampling within the DSS8+. Though I sampled in 8-bit because I had Amiga specific use in mind when I made these.

Though, if anyone has any interest in these and would like me to re-sample, I will gladly re-sample them all again in 16-bit if I can figure out how to do it right on the DSS8+, or in Winblows.

Also,what do you mean by "make sure the samples don't clip"?

Also what does setting up multiple octaves do exactly?
