data compression

Submitted by DJ on Fri, 2007-04-20 13:46.

Interesting... The fact that various compression rates
are performed depending on the actual sounds to me indicates
that the compression format Yamaha is using is actually *lossy*.
Lossless compression usually doesn't provide more compression
than about a factor of two; hence if Roland uses 2:1 it's probably
lossless and hence the actual compression factor does not result in any
quality degradation.

I'm not sure though that I find a lossy compression algorithm a good thing
in a synthesizer.... :-(
