Fairlight-CMI

Gordon,

thanx for the info below.

That is very much how it sounds. Like a sync-sweep.

I guess it is ok then. Doing the testing/calibration of the ADC is not 
something I´m capable of doing.

Can you post a link to a recording of your sampled bass drum?  I know
that the 8-bit samples in my early versions of my replacement Alesis
HR-16 ROM had a pretty distinctive noise on long boomy decays -
particularly on 808 bass drum samples, there was a high-pitched sweep a
bit like a sync sweep on it.  This is an artifact caused by the lack of
dynamic range and relatively large steps in a linear 8-bit sample.  I
left it in, it sounded cool.
