Vintage Doepfer Sound Sampler

Update: Turns out this was not Doepfer's first creation (see the timeline here).  You can find some history on the Sound Sampler previously captured here and here.

This one in via Florian Anwater:

"this is an interesting find at the sequencer.de forum:

Partial translation of the text:

I' dug out a Doepfer Sound Sampler. It has a sound interface and 8 voice cards. I found also the Building instructions. I know that it can be used in connection with a C64 computer, but the ribbon cable which connects the sampler with the computer is broken. So I cannot check the functionality.
[...] My father has built it in the 80ies, as he hoped to get the fairlight sound, but he was disappointed by the results.

Comment from Florian: Appearently this is a really complete system. Consisting of the voice card and the loop card for each voice and the interface card for the C64."
