The TX16W has 12-bit sound with up to 50 kHz mono and 33 kHz stereo sampling. Its filter is digital, allowing 17 different types, with one filter/type per voice. On the rear along with a regular stereo output, there are 8 individual outputs. Samples are stored on 720kB 3.5" floppy disks. It shipped with 1.5MB of RAM but is expandable up to 6MB. The TX16W uses a Motorola 68000 processor.
The operating system is loaded from disk. There is an alternate OS for the sampler called Typhoon, created by a Swedish organisation.[1]
A free software emulation "Cyclone" was released in 2013 by Sonic Charge (developed by the people behind the original Typhoon OS).

gollark: It would be fully eldritch, but opening portals to the fourteenth plane is currently unavailable in Python.
gollark: I've actually managed to convert much of the potatOS code into a single file now! It's amazing what you can do with a somewhat eldritch build process and lots of fiddling!
gollark: Are you concerned about the security of P2P potatoUPDATES™?
gollark: No, and why.
gollark: So this may eventually allow stuff like P2P potatoUPDATES™.
