A floppy disk image isn't an audio file
I found the files from a synthesizer expansion pack that was saved on floppy disks. I'm trying to extract the samples from it
Depends entirely how it's stored, if it's just a standard file then you might be able to mount the image as a virtual floppy and extract the files
If the .out files continued audio data, try Importing as Raw Audio in a software called "Audacity." It's free and open-source. Open Audacity, Go to File, Import, Raw Data... Select the .out file. Experiment with different encodings (e.g., Signed 16-bit PCM or 8-bit Unsigned) and sample rates (e.g., 22050 Hz, 32000 Hz, or 44100 Hz) until the audio sounds natural. Go to File, Export Audio and save it as a .wav file.
Looks like Roland files. You can read/write the disks or the image files with Omniflop and for conversion all I know is "wav TO out", not the opposite: https://llamamusic.com/s50s550/unusual_samples.html so you can be out of luck, unfortunatelly.
There are no audio file formats with with an .out extension. Do you know what software generated the files?
