The Kawai & Teisco Analog Synths Group

I've also uploaded an MP3 version that weights only 800kB and works
fine on my 240. This one has -0.1dB levels, and is simply a converted
version of the WAV I saved from my synth. 

Tell me if the MP3 works or not, I'll remove the WAV file if it does.

you'd want some psychoacoustic program tossing away data as it sees
fit. Use wavs or some other full bandwidth file type (FLAC, AIFF, etc).
