Definitely rare here. I ran a quick search to see if I had any prior posts on the DSM-1 and zero came up.
"The DSM-1 comes equipped with a full 1-Megaword PCM waveform memory, for perfectly sampling even the most memory-intensive sound sources. This rich sampling synthesizer module has 16 voice polyphony, 16 individual outputs, and is multitimbral a maximum of 64 sound source split points, at the maximum sampling frequency of 48 kHz, the DSM-1 is capable of recording an audio frequency spectrum even greater than that of the hearing range. All elements of the instrument's design were engineered for optimal sound quality.

The DSM-1 has a maximum sampling time of 64 seconds (over a total of 4 banks), and a built-in antialiasing input filter. Up to 512 samples and waveforms can be stored to memory. Wave editing functions include operations such as Reverse, Link, Mix, Cross Phase Looping, Back & Forth Looping, View & Edit of sound data, and Pitch Adjust. The built-in synthesizer sound processing function provides 46
separate parameters, including such sound shaping tools as VCFs and VCAs.

With the memory storage capability of up to 32 Programs and 32 combinations, the DSM-1 is ideal for creating rich, multi-textured sounds - especially in live performance situations. The data of the DSM-1 is stored to 2-Megabyte, 3.5-inch 2HD disks, providing high capacity storage with exceptionally fast loading time.

This synthesizers case and control panels are cosmetically in good shape, with some minor scratches and normal wear and tare.

The manual pictured in the photos is included with the DSM-1 unit."
