via the seller: "This is like a hybrid digital/analog sampler, because it has 8 analog curtis filters. So you can load analog synth waveform samples into it, and with the filters you have a very analog sound. There are separate envelopes for VCA and VCF, and an LFO with lots of stuff that you can use it for, as well as a pretty cool arpeggiator. 12 bit sound but it's like a fairly high quality 12 bit sound. So the sound is actually kind of unique just on the digital side.

The disk drive does work! Included are several disks, with a nice variety of sounds on them. I remember having trouble with getting at least one of them to load properly but most of them do load. 10 are new disks I bought and copied some other disks I had onto them, but 3 of those new disks are BLANK, so you already have all you need to start sampling your own sounds! i imagine you might find a few of the disks with things on them to be not to your tastes and you could use those for your own sounds as well. i'm going to list what is written on the labels of the disks, which sometimes tells you a good idea of what's on it, and other times is kinda vague. One of these is an official disk from sequential themselves (the first on the list):
Sequential Sound Disk Model 875-03 revB - includes- Acoustic Guitar, Organ, Electric Bass, Slap bass, and various layer setups with combinations of those

these are all on older disks of various brands:
a disk that says 'Tu Ritmo disk 4' not really sure what that one is, one that simply says 'strings disk', one that says 'marcato strings', one that says 'fairlight', one that says 'pan pipes & recorders', one that says 'string effects', one that says '606 stuff' (drums from 606), one that says 'flute', one that says 'fairlight and 5 DX7s', one that says either 'aut disc' or 'ant disc' (no idea about that one), one that says 'bazouki', one that says 'bass, organi, harpsichord', one that says 'oberheim four-voice drums, etc, 1987'

these are disks i copied myself onto new blanks:
a copy of a prophet sound disk with- grand piano, muted bass, wah piano, honky tonk, and lots of other variations
a copy of a wine country wurlitzer electric sample disk
copy of a wine country moog disk
disk with an accordian
one with a cello
one with acoustic drums+bass
one with strings and brass
and again there are the 3 blank ones

the disk drive uses a less common format of the 3.5 disks, i can't remember off hand what format it is (i'm sure you can find info by looking it up) but that means the disks can get a bit pricier than a typical 3.5, so having this many to work with is nice.

oh and also- the manual IS included. it's in a binder.

this thing is a BEAST. it's definitely a sampler with a sound. you have plenty of disks that you can just pop in and use for great sounding instrument sources, or you can tweak the LFOs, envelopes and filter settings with them to fine tune those sounds, OR you can sample your own sounds in and just get deep into using the thing for sound design."
