Thanks from me too. I've deep-sampled my CT-6000. No limits on voice layering on Kontakt :). With 4 layers these sounds are reminding me of Wendy Carlos's work on the Tron soundtrack. I'm going to try probing the board for the percussion sound, since I can only access a limited number by recording all of the patterns to find where sounds are isolated there. I don't know if it would be great for a full track. I do find that syncing it to MIDI clock and sending it your basic chord progression is pretty fun. I step through the styles and find one that kinda fits. I usually edit the result in the DAW a bit. It's great for middle 8s and small diversions that you would not think of.

Awesome. Can you share it please?

Oh, that's a shame that's exactly what I'm looking for. Could you upload the image file anyway please?

Sounds like a proprietary companding scheme. One would expect other data besides audio in there too. I have a friend who has figured those schemes out in the past (Alesis, Yamaha and Casio drum machines), with other machines and decoded the data to regular PCM. If you could share the images (if you still have them) that would be great. It would be a very useful resource for anyone trying to repair a machine with "ROM rot" as well I think?

How cool, you've obviously analysed the ROMs! Could you share the image files? I'd be curious to access the samples on these, for a more modern playback machine,
