Tips
There is a directory called raw/ underneath the freebirth
directory. This directory contains the samples that are loaded at
startup. They are 44.1 khz 16 bits little endian PCM mono files in
raw format. You can swap these files with new ones to give new
sounds to the sample playing section of Freebirth. Just make sure
that the files you replace them with are of the same name and same
format mentioned above.
