Listen for some ‘old school’ sampling issues, too!

Love how dirt simple it was. Thanks for posting these and look forward to more !
Paolo’s channel is one of the best resources for electronic gear, particularly vintage, on the net. He rocks!
It may have been simple on the first step, but trying to trim out those bumpy loop points was generally a nightmare, pre-Kontakt or whatever. That’s why they sold a ton of factory diskettes for the old Mirage. There was Mac software for editing it, but it was so clumsily first-gen that we blew it off for better effects pedals to help the old 8-bit plowhorse along. Paolo makes me grin at having everything on flash drives and SSDs now. Floppy disks made me want to use them as skeet. PULL! *BLAM!*
I had an E-mu – Emax II (rack) decades ago when I was young,dumb and full of pimples! It had a scuzzy hard-drive +extra RAM.
I knew the theory of sampling but didn’t have any practical experience, so just used the factory disks.
Ended up selling it for next to nothing :-/
