Yeah, a lot of that stuff could be fun. I'm kind of thinking of the name. I don't know if you ever heard of Giga Studio. Giga Studio is the name of it. It was a program, a software program that used Akai WAV files. They think the real WAV files was either in Akai or Giga format. And to make a long story short, all it was was like a sound of a drum or a horn or a piano key. It all had it in there, all different types of pianos. So it always sounded different. I'd take a file like a song without the voice in it, with just the musical instruments, and I'd load that in. And then I could play the song and make it sound different. I could say, I don't like the guitar the guy's using. I'll make you have a different bass guitar. The song would sound perfect, just like the real song but without the voice. And then I could make a recording for it. Wow. It sounded like the real song but different. But he didn't hear them because there was no vocals in it, just musical instruments. That was called Giga Studio. I don't know Akai very well, but I know people that like using... They have a drum machine sampler called Akai Orchestrator. And so I've heard a lot of things about it, but I've never used it. There's like updated ones too that let you record longer, like 5 seconds, 10 seconds. The really... Oh, as I said, the SB-12 only recorded one second. So... But 5 seconds is not too bad. And then you learn little tricks, right? Like if you sample real fast, you can slow it down. And so you can circumvent the memory time that way. But when the SB-12 came out, it wasn't intended for people to sample like huge entire sections off of records. It was made for chopping. Right? Like you could chop your own new drum sounds besides the factory stock ones that people tend not to like. Because you can make your own. But those older machines were like... They definitely were. They'd be a whole grip of money. Yeah, Akai has reputation though.
