"A rather rambling overview of the MIDI Controlled Sampler MCS-1.
I built this unit in the late '80s from the Powertran kit, which I had bought second-hand as-new from someone who lacked the confidence or patience to assemble it himself. The exercise took me 3 evenings, if I recall: no components were missing; the instructions were straightforward, and the silk-screen print on the PCB was comprehensive. It worked right from first power-up, and is still functional. Congratulations to the designers and Powertran.
A fine example of of 8-bit sampling from the early days of digital electronic music.
I may be disposing of this museum piece in the near future."
