Info

216 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.
