Recreating Synths : Some of the original synthesizer

• PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation): The standard for CDs (16-bit/44.1kHz). It samples the sound wave discretely, 44,100 times per second. This creates a "staircase" approximation of the original analog signal.
• DSD (Direct Stream Digital): Used on SACDs. It uses a 1-bit system with an extremely high sampling rate (2.8224 MHz—64 times that of CD). Instead of a staircase, it creates a continuous, density-modulated pulse stream.

Recreating Synths: Some of the original synthesizer parts had physically degraded or been lost over time and had to be meticulously recreated for the new archive.
