ABOUT a sampler with RAM and ROM samples, along with the S50 sampler it was the wirst sampling workstation from roland, also the monitor edit was very special (internal edit mode on the S50 sampler.. using a TV), 12 Bit.. Also a Sequencer in there .. often used by prodigy (live I saw 2 of them..) - strange - got rare these days. want it stereo: 8 voices. Hack Mode (at your own risk) Press "user" twice - enter "user setting" mode. while keeping tempo pressed, trigger F1 twice quickly.
ABOUT Ein Sampler mit ROM Wellenformen und Sequencer, wenn auch eher wenig RAM, es ist eine Workstation und in etwa auf dem Level des S50, 12Bit. Prodigy haben davon sogar 2 auf der Bühne gehabt. seltsam rar geworden inzwischen. Stereo mit 8 stimmen.
