To make the best use of disc space we have combined several
instrument definitions into one file. These can be saved individually if
required, either by loading/saving via a word processor or from within AMPLE
(after *EXECing in this file) using:
*SPOOL insfile
"insname" TYPE
*SPOOL
"insname" TYPE
*SPOOL
where 'insfile' is the file on which the individual
instrument definition is to be held and 'insname' is the
% word containing the instrument definition.

% Notes on 'synbass4' by Mike Dobson
%
% A fairly meaty percussive bass sound
% with a nice zappy quality. This is
% virtually the same as a sound on the
% Casio CZ-1 synth, which used to cost
% four times the price of a music
% 5000/4000!
%
% It sounds best between -3: and 0:
