I may be able to generate those files for you this weekend.

Speaking of noise. I've realized that I really like hearing that tape hiss during the "silence" between notes. When I hear digital black in comparison, it sounds weird. There was actually a part in my band's record where during a break sounds faded into silence. It sounded so odd to me that I decided to paste in some background noise from our organ. Ahh...much better.

Ha, that's funny. I've done the exact same thing with my Hammond M3. I don't like digital black either.
