Sampler section:
• 32 drums may be held in memory at one time.
• 16 velocity and pressure sensitive front panel drum pads.
• Very high sound quality - 40 khz sampling rate for 18 khz frequency
response on all drum sounds. 16 bit A/D and D/A converters are used and
samples are compressed into exclusive non-linear 12 bit format, providing
much lower noise than standard 12 bit linear systems.
• Long sample time - maximum of 13.1 seconds of sampling time at full 18
khz frequency response, expandable to 26.2 seconds at full frequency
response.
• 16 voice polyphony - a maximum of 16 drums may play
simultaneously.
• Repeated strikes of a drum play simultaneously; earlier strikes are not cut
off.
• "Pre-record" feature prevents attacks of sounds from being
truncated during sampling.
• Stereo mix is achieved graphically on the large LCD display, allowing
programmed mix changes to automatically update the mixer settings
without the need for motorized faders.
• Built-in echo send and return - there is a separate 32 input mono
programmable echo mixer and echo return inputs, to be used with an
external digital reverb.
• Stereo and echo mixers are automated: any changes made while
recording will be automatically repeated on playback.
• Each of the individual mix outputs may contain one or any mix of the 32
drums.
• Sounds may be reversed.
• A "multi-pitch" mode is supported, allowing a single drum to be play
(and recorded) at 16 chromatic pitches by playing the 16 pads.
• Hihat decay control on front panel varies decay time of hihat while
selecting between 3 different samples- one each for closed, medium and
open hihat.
• Envelope controls include a special drum-related "fadeout" parameter,
which allows the sound to be automatically faded down starting at a
pre-determined start point and ending exactly at its end, preventing
samples from sounding "chopped off'.
• Extensive dynamic controls: note velocity may be used to control sound
start address, envelope attack, volume, and sound selection (velocity
switch).
• "Double play" feature allows 2 drum sounds to play when one
occurs in a sequence.
• Midi sample dump allows samples to transferred between
samplers.
• A special screen exists to remotely control the Akai ME-35T trigger
to midi converter.
