EXS24 software instrument of my 2 year-old's keyboard

[antichef]

We bought my older daughter a little toy keyboard in the early '90s, and we still have it, as well as another daughter who's now two. I dug it out. I remembered that it has an appealing sound if you set it to the "piano" patch and push the "harmony" button.

I created an EXS24 instrument with samples from it by plugging the headphone-out into my Audiofire 12, then taking a long sample of each note (which included nastiness that I associate with 8 bit digital sounds) - I tried to smooth the sounds a little by doing a progressively lower low pass filter.

Here's a link: http://www.recursor.net/ToyEPianoHarmony.zip -- it's 42 megs. There's a subdirectory with the sample files, and the exs file.

I think it sounds kind of Christmas-y, and I'm going to use it in some Christmas songs I'm working on. Happy Holidays!!
