"Hello ppl!

Here's an old(er) track i once made using AXS v2.03 (a dutch product from/by Resolution Audio Software: www.resolutionaudio.nl), for MS-DOS/Win9x, which was later released for free
(you can still access the website and download the program and extras)

AXS was a combination of an analogue synthesizer, a sampler, effect unit and sequencer.

The analogue synthesizer:
Provides a complete virtual analogue synthesizer with 7 parts. Each part can be set up to play a different sound, so 7 synthesizer sounds can be playing at one time.

The Sampler:
Lets you play back percussion samples and sound effects. Samples can be filtered and sent through the effect unit. Up to 128 different samples can be loaded. The sampler and the synthesizer share a maximum of 64 notes which can be played at one time.

The Effect unit:
Provides stereo-delay and reverb effects. These effects enhance the sound and stereo image.

The Sequencer:
Is used to control the synthesizer, sampler and effect unit.
