It shipped with 2 MB of sample memory which could be expanded to 16 MB for a few minutes of stereo cd-quality sampling time. It lets you choose from sample rates of 30 to 44.1 kHz and has all the professional sample editing functions you would expect to find from a pro sampler including autolooping, volume smoothing, normalize, crossfading, and time comp/exp. Even resampling through its effects, EQ, etc. is possible!   What's special about the ASR-10 is that it is a sampler using the synthesizer architecture of Ensoniq's classic line of synths from the SD-1 to the ESQ-1. Your samples are stored as part of its WaveSample memory. The ASR-10 can hold 127 WaveSamples, which can also consist of its two multimode digital filters, the LFO, one random noise generator, three envelope generators (hard-wired to the pitch, filter cutoff, and amplitude), and a modulation matrix with 15 routable modulation sources. Up to eight layers of WaveSamples can be combined to create your final sound. In this light, the ASR-10 basically looks like an advanced TranseWave (waveform modulation) synthesizer in which YOU create its WaveSamples!   The ASR-10 integrates a digital effects processor and MIDI sequencer on-board for a complete workstation. There are up to 62 effects (including vocoding) based on Ensoniq's DP/4 effects processor. A whole range of reverbs, chorus, flange, phaser, distortion, digital delay, speaker effects, etc. are available.   The ASR-10's sequencer has 16-tracks and with its 31 voices of polyphony you can create some pretty complete musical performances. The sequencer (reminiscent of the SD-1 and VFX-SD workstations) provides real time and looped recording modes, 96 PPQ clock resolution, an auto-locate function, punch in/out, and other useful features. And the ASR-10 can sample while the sequencer is playing. It can store up to 80 sequences or patterns which can be chained into a song (only one song can be in memory).”   -Description taken from vintagesynth.com   Specifications: • Polyphony - 31 voices Sampler - Sigma-Delta 64 times oversampling, 16-bit, 30kHz or 44.1kHz variable sampling rates; 127 WaveSamples, up to 8 Layers per Program. • Filter - 2 digital filters in series, one low-pass, one high pass. Up to 4-pole filtering with 6, 12, 18, and 24 dB/oct slopes. • Envelopes - 3 envelopes: Env 1 to WaveSample Pitch; Env 2 to WaveSample Filter Cutoff; Env 3 to WaveSample Amplitude. • Sequencer - 16 tracks, 80 Patterns (999 measure limit each), 1 Song at a time • Effects - 1 effects unit with 50 to 62 effects including vocoder (reverbs, chorus, flange, phaser, distortion, digital delay, speaker effects) • Memory - Sampler: 2 MB expandable to 16 MB; Patches: 8 Instruments • Control - MIDI (8-parts) • Date Produced - 1992 – 1998   Condition: • This unit is in pre-owned working condition. The only “negative” about this unit is that the data slider works but moves digits or characters very fast so editing or fine tuning of wavesamples, etc. may have to be done using the arrow cursor buttons for precise editing. There are minor scuffs and wear on various areas of the unit. Please view the pictures included in this listing for the best reference to the condition of the item. These pictures are pictures of the actual item being listed and not stock footage of the item. Although this ASR-10 is in working condition, it is a vintage piece of equipment and future condition cannot be guaranteed, so the unit is sold "AS IS" with no return/refund.   Seller Terms: • I must receive payment from auction winner customers within 2 days of close of auction or purchase. • I will ship before or within 3 days of payment of the items. • I only ship to verified addresses, please do not ask me to ship elsewhere.
