CSSAMP1

CSSAMP1, aka cssamp1, CSSAMP1.MID, CSSAMP1.mid or cssamp1.mid is a midi file that gets hidden away in the Windows/Media folder if a driver owned by Canon Inc. is installed on to the computer.

It is a fast, jolly and happy pop-rock jingle that lasts for 3 minutes, 10 seconds (3:10). The song plays at 110 BPM.

The midi file will appear in the Media folder if a Canon ScanGear, Canon CanoScan, or a Canon Pixma MX490 is connected to a computer. However, Canon PIXMA iP1980 and any Canon products onward don't install the midi file.

While some believe that it would have played while as a "Now Scanning" song, it may have possibly been intended to play whilst going through a Canon installation wizard, but it was never used.
