not sure if this has been posted before but this has been in development for a few years. A more faithful clone plus mods.
The sampler is still under development and now it is at the beta testing stage. This means that, if all goes well, it will most likely become available early next year, in limited quantity as for a period of time it is assembled by myself.
The sampler has the following features:
Audio path as the OG, including using the same DACs - 7541/7524.
8 channels and 16 voice polyphony (16+1 choke groups).
64 sample slots and total 832 seconds sample time (up to 13 seconds per pad).
2 dynamic analogue filters (SSI 2144) with limited cutoff and resonance controls and 4 static analogue low-pass filters.
Up to 2 digital multimode filters per sample, one with AHDSR envelope.
Up to 2 gain envelopes per sample (OG and AHDSR). AHDSR envelope can be used together with tuning.
Relative pitch function (it’s possible to fine tune the sample pitch after sampling).
Drive function with soft clipping.
Sample accurate sample trigger delay (to dial in (im)perfect groove).
8th & 16th based swing.
Event based channel mute and solo.
Setup functions can be used during playback.
MIDI.
SD card storage.
Load .wav files.
Load and play OG projects.
Balanced outputs.
All metal enclosure.
and more…
Dimensions of the sampler are:
W: ~43 cm, D: ~30 cm, Max H (incl. pots): ~14 cm.
Weighs just under 7 kg.
The sampler is intended to be used with a mixer, so there is no headphone output and no sample input monitoring.
Many people ask about the pricing. Unfortunately I can’t reveal it until the sampler becomes available, so please be patient. That said, the sampler will definitely cost more than £1000 but less than £4000.
