These disks were in a lot of music studio equipment I recently acquired and had been in storage and unused for over 20 years. Offered and sold as-is and as shown, since these disks are magnetic media that are now over 20 years old."
I have 2 of these sample/players. Used them like crazy for backing vocals in the mix 90s.. had/ still have lots of custom disks that I made for clients. Plus a bunch of stock disks that came with. The fantastic way to work with these units was via the SP editor.. I rand it on an old mac, OS 9 as I last recall.... Do not know if they wrote code for OS X?? If they did, I'd be up to revive one of these guys and dig around in the floppy disk bins for archololgy reasons.....
ReplyDeleteBy the way... the very best way to communicate with the SP was via S-MIDI.... standard MIDI was so very slow. But the S-MIDI via the editor was amazing. I would fill the ram up to the max... And stopped using the Floppies and saved to HD,,,,, Just so you know in case you go for one of these.
