I found these flies on a DAT the other day.  I don't know where they
came from in the first place, I didn't record them!  I don't like flies
or other bugs on my tapes either, but these small creatures sound quiet
facinating - especially on a rather high output level!  The flying
things were transferred digitally from DAT to an Akai S-1100 equipped
with a digital I/O board.  Furthermore they were transferred to the
Amiga and Samplitude Professional via MIDI Sample Dump.  (Yes, I was
going to have a break anyway....) In Samplitude Professional the flies
were resampled at 24.131Hz and converted to 8 bits.  Finally they were
exported as 8svx files.  The resampling was done in order to save space
*AND* keep a respectable sound quality (compared to the original 16 bit
(flies) file).  In this way, the flies have not left the digital domain
on their journey to a new life as 8-bit Amiga samples.

NOTE!
	Please beware that Samplitude, for some strange reason, exports
	the IFF-sounds with a default volume setting of 0 (zero).  I
	haven't changed this.

Enjoy!
