The FZ-1 was a 5 octave keyboard and hybrid sampler/synthesizer released by Casio Computer Company in 1987. It was the fist affordable 16 bit sampler for the mass and included 1MB memory (expandable to 2MB).

Here is the entire collection straight from disk for your tracker. I tried to keep the original data as much as possible, but in this case I had to convert to 8 bit. Some loops are wrong, but easy to repair. The envelope data this time couldn't be converted (sorry!).

It comes in three flavours:
CASIOFZ4AMIGA
IFF-8bit --> the entire collection, including factory, shareware, user and some other floppies converted to 8 bit, loop preserved.

CASIOFZ4AMIGA-IFF-16BIT
IFF-16bit --> the Factory Library with no quality reduction.

CASIOFZ4FT2-XI-Delta16Bit
XI-16bit --> the same Factory Library for Fast Tracker 2.

Sample rates are 36/18/9 kHz and usually they keep below the protracker limit for 64kb. If you test them, please feedback! Happy tracking!

NOTE: The links will work a while, then it will be only available in English Amiga Board.

I'm not on my computer right now but are the 16-bit samples .wav files ?

No, it is not WAV, but you can use it in almost any PC tracker. WAV loop data usually is discarded when you load it in trackers, so I choosed the most common format to retain that loop points. The full collection is in 8bit 8svx (you can convert these back to wav with Wavosaur, but you will loss the loop data). The other two versions are in 16bit, but aren't complete (only the factory sounds).

Note my collections aren't intended for use with modern DAWs. The releases are (and will be) mostly IFF 8 bit to avoid copyright issues (don't know the real copyright status for them, but I am sure, they are >25 years old).

Sorry for the inconvenience if the format doesn't fit your needs. You could use Awave Studio (run as administrator, it will work) to batch convert these.

right on. I'm running piggy tracker which would run these fine via .wav. thanks for the heads up on that batch converter though ! : )

thanks a lot for this. I quickly tested the synths samples and the loops are pretty good most of the time.

I wanted to redownload these packs (had them on my busted Amiga CF card), but all links are down.

*EDIT: all links but the FZ-1 are down.
