Multisampling the difficult way - I took my Poly61 and recorded various notes to tape, before importing them into Kontakt to make a new and interesting instrument to share with you.

The process wasn't without it's difficulties given the age of the synth and the tapedeck, but I got there and I'm really happy with the results. Skip to 11:46 to hear the final sounds.
