Has anyone used one of these? I am thinking of getting one off ebay but have never used one so I don't know how good they are.

May 08, 2003 10:12 pm looks neat. Its from the 80's and it's only a 12 bit sampler with from 1 to 8 seconds, depending on how much sample rate you sacrifice. Max 32kHz means the far-treble end isn't reproduced. Never used one, but here's the stats:

It's old so don't spend a fortune on it. Prepal says it's worth about $90

Might be useful in a live situation, or in the studio for making those weird glitchy Aphex Twin stutter sounds. I'd love to have one myself, but not for $90. I can do the same thing with my Boss delay pedal.

May 09, 2003 08:21 pm Nice bit of retro gear - good if you want to program real IDM glitch type drums or hip-hop drums
pretty much superceded for most other things
