The ASR-10s (list $2995) Advanced Sampling Recorder with SCSI provides you with a complete digital production studio. These high-quality samplers integrate an effects processor, a MIDI sequencer, and a digital tape recorder -- all in one easy-to-use instrument. · Sampling -- Create stunning 16-bit samples in stereo or mono, with up to 16 MB of sample memory. Then, shape your sounds using the ASR's extensive voice architecture and editing features.· Effects Processing -- The ASR has the most powerful onboard effects processor ever offered in a sampler. Sixty-two effects algorithms (from our acclaimed DP/4) offer many creative possibilities. You can sample through effects such as EQ or compression to condition your sound upon input, or resample a sound multiple times through different effects. You can even process external audio through the ASR while you play live or play back sequences, eliminating the need for added gear.· Sequencing -- No mere "scratchpad," the ASR's 16-track sequencer provides real time and looped recording modes, 96 PPQ clock resolution, an auto-locate function, and many of the same advanced, yet easy-to-use features that have made ENSONIQ keyboards famous around the world!· Digital Audio Recording -- Add two tracks of live audio performance to your MIDI sequenced tracks for complete music production with one instrument. Record to RAM or SCSI hard drive with the simplicity of a tape-recorder, with advanced features like punch-in/out, and auditionable editing. No other sampler gives you this extraordinary capability.·
Access to Sounds -- The best library of sounds available, including both floppy disk and CD-ROM volumes. For access to the broadest range of sounds, the ASR also imports Akai (S-1000/1100) and Roland CD-ROM's, complete with programming and performance parameters! A high-density (HD) disk drive is standard, while the SP-3 SCSI interface (optional on the ASR-10 keyboard; standard on the ASR-88 keyboard and the ASR-10 rack) supports using up to seven simultaneous hard disks and/or CD-ROM drives. The Best Supported Sampler -- Since its release, we have continually enhanced the ASR-10 adding digital audio recording, digital I/* support, importing of new sound formats, and more. Best of all, we've made each new release available free to our users!
(ALSO available without SCSI interface (though we cannot figure why anyone would want a 16 bit sampler without SCSI) - Mfg list price $2695.
