"Showing some of the sounds from this Alesis drum machine from the 80's. Not really much to say about this one. There are some cool circuit bent HR-16s out there but this one is just stock."

SmplTrek v2.0 update guide: https://www.sonicware.co.jp/DL/SmplTrek/DOC/SmplTrek_v2_upgrade_guide_en.pdf
SmplTrek v2.0 firmware: https://sonicware.jp/pages/downloads

The new features of SmplTrek v2.0:

Quick sampling
By putting pressure on the track pad, you can easily record a sample and then use that sample in a new track.
⁃ The new sampling procedure has made sampling faster by allowing the user to set the normalize, save location, and auto saving settings in advance.
⁃ The monitor output method has been revised so that the speaker can be used even when the built-in microphone is selected on the REC source.

Unquantized recording using real-time recording of micro timing
The micro timing of finger drumming and instrument playing with the pads can be recorded in real time in the sequencer to allow unquantized recording. (72 ppqn)
⁃ Micro timing can now be edited for each note.
⁃ Note-off timing can also be recorded and edited on Instrument tracks.

Swing functions
Swing can be set per track or clip. (0-75%)

Duplication of a sequence
A sequence created on the Drum, Inst, MIDI, and Shot track can be duplicated by pressing the DUP(C) button, doubling the length of the sequence.

Further Drum track improvements
⁃ Level, Pan, Pitch, and Effect Send for each instrument in the drum kit can be adjusted while the Drum track is playing.
⁃ The tempo can be changed on the Drum track (tap tempo can be achieved by pressing the knob).
⁃ Over 300 basic drum patterns to choose from.
⁃ 3 new drum kits have been added.
- “Ski Beatz” Smack pack selection kit
- Cinematic Indian Percussion kit
- GB Drum kit

Global Audio track has been optimized
⁃ The waveform display is now easier to read.
- Input level meter has been added.
(To delete the switching point of the virtual tracks, press the REC key twice and press CLR in recording standby.)
- You can replace the Global audio files in the SD card.

1) Delete the virtual track files (.wav and .wdt files) you want to replace in the SmplTrek/Project/(project name)/Audio/Global folder on the SD card. (Example: global1-1.wav, global1-1.wdt)

2) Rename the new .wav file (16bit-48kHz mono, up to 2GB) you want to replace with the same name as the deleted file and place it in the same folder. (Example: global1-1.wav)

When you load the project on SmplTrek, the replacement will be reflected.

Effects Improvements
⁃ Revised parameters for ‘Vinyl’ and ‘Cassette’.
⁃ Added bit crush to ‘Crusher’.

Other improvements
⁃ Pitch of the Instrument track can be adjusted while playing.
⁃ You can switch the display between the tracks while keeping the edit screen open. (press the func+TRK pad)
⁃ When loading a sample into the Loop track, you can set start and end points and select the number of bars in that range to see the exact BPM.
⁃ Sample selection for each instrument in the Drum Kit Edit can now be easily auditioned and selected from the folder by simply turning the A knob.
⁃ Program change messages can now be transmitted from the MIDI track automation. (The switching Scene has been changed to CC31:SCENE PLAYBACK)
⁃ And several bug fixes and improvements."

"The knobs are NOT original, but carefully laid out by myself for quick and easy visual identification. For the most part, every knob on the synth related to each section is a certain type. For example- Oscillator A is one type, Oscillator B has another type of knob, etc. etc. The master volume output knob (far right) is huge and feels so smooth to turn.

BIG NOTE- this comes with a Moog gig bag that fits the synth perfectly. I believe the bag was made for the Moog Sub37 and Little Phatty, but the Pro One REALLY fits well. Has a velcro handle, a shoulder strap, and a pouch to store cables, etc. Those bags aren't made anymore, and new they were about $80.

If you REALLY want the original knobs, they're about $150 per set online."

"This unit features four voice cards, each with a SEM, Moog, Arp 2600 and CS-80 filter card. It also has the overdrive option (via front switch).

Built new in summer of 2022. Absolute mint condition. All features work perfectly except for the arpeggiator which is buggy and has been abandoned by Studio Electronics."
