cr1901 changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

Legendary producer DJ Premier keeps all his 90s sampling floppy discs, which still work today : videos
<Lord_Nightmare>
also has a video of The Prodigy using their roland W-30 with the original sample disk they made for "Everybody in the Place" in comments
<Lord_Nightmare>
people saying "those disks are important, I'm sure they're backed up"... knowing musicians, those disks are NOT backed up.
<Lord_Nightmare>
an applesauce or other flux imager could do it easily, but it isn't a high enough priority for people

Lord_Nightmare: nice @ article
<andlabs>
and yeah they're probably not backed up -- backed up to what? a gotek? do full-time musicians without programming experience have time for that? modern hardware? gearheads don't want to give up their samplers

This is like the "only other file system besides FAT that's simple", and yet I don't see that many microcontroller libraries for it. I guess read-only is too restrictive.
