Thanks for posting the pics Andy. Do all 100 voices have the low F and F# ? Do some of them sound pitch shifted? I wouldn't think that he would have recordings of those notes for all 100 voices.

The two additional notes may not seem like a big deal, but when you need them, you need them. Sometimes the middle F just will not do it!

They were only 12bit ...don't know if they ever went to 16, but they sounded great...it's all about the oversampling filters.
