User Info...
I'm selling my sampler. I thought I should try to describe what it does myself...but then I read this online, and I think this covers all the bases.

Here's the decription:

-----------------------

The SP808EX combines a sophisticated phrase sampler with a digital multi-track recorder, a comprehensive effects unit, and some trick time-stretching functions into a complete production studio for sampling musicians, remixers, broadcasters, and DJs.

Record onto any of 4 stereo audio tracks. Trigger your samples from the 16 assignable pads; those pads have 64 banks of memory behind them. Put your mic or guitar through the multi-effects unit, or fire up the 10-band Vocoder. Change the timbre, pitch, even gender of your voice with the Voice Transformer, and use the Mic simulator to evoke the tone of many of the world's rarest and most expensive microphones.

There's automatic tempo calculation and timestretch functions to allow you to "tweeze" your samples into beats that might not at first be a proper fit. Use the dual D-beam controllers that use hand movement over infrared light for a unique performance, or unique control.

Features
Remix-oriented phrase sampler/digital multitrack recorder with 4 stereo audio tracks and 16 assignable pads per bank (64 banks total).

Futuristic translucent design.

Larger 250 MB Zip drive for expanded sampling/multi-track recording time.

New vocal and guitar multi-effects, 10-band vocoder, Voice Transformer, and Mic Simulator, plus dozens of DJ-oriented groove effects.

Automatic tempo calculation, resampling, and timestretch functions.

Innovative dual D-Beam* controller for triggering samples or built-in synth via hand movement over infared beam of light.

Three assignable control knobs for tweaking Isolator, filter, or other effect parameters.

Optional SP808-OP1 and -OP2 expansion boards for expanded I/O and SCSI.
---------------

Call me at (250) 385-8648 if you're interested.

Any offers over $1200 will be taken seriously...but if you think you could do something really creative with it, and think you might be a starving artist who could put this to good use, I might have some room to move on it.

It should go to a good home. - Mon, 16 Feb 2004 12:13am
