consider adopting git-lfs to host the .wav samples remotely

I've been thinking about this one, and you can test this with PedalNetRT, but for the SmartAmpPro, no changes are needed to the code to work with 16 bit PCM data. I'd be happy with swapping out the 32FP wav for 16PCM, and then each wav is only about 15MB. Sound quality seemed fine, and 16PCM is what CD quality is anyway. Just need to make sure the data is loaded as float32 numpy array.

Hey Keith,
sure, but i was talking more about how it shouldn't be in version control

i can't make a pull request, because GitHub does not support adding files to Git LFS for forks

once you've got git-lfs, run

git lfs install
git lfs track "*.wav"
git add .gitattributes

what will happen next is the files will be uploaded to GitHub's LFS and the repository will only have symlinks instead of actual files

update: files from previous commits could also be migrated

Yes that sounds like a good idea, the 16PCM would be in addition to using Lfs.
