Korg DSM-1?
I think I'm about to scoop one for $75
looks like an S950 and is a 12 bit sampler, with a VCF, SCSI, ...any experience?
from vintage synth...
****
Polyphony - 8 Voices
Oscillators - 16 - 2 oscillators per voice
Sampler - 256k
Memory - 5 sec sampling
Synthesis - 128 Sine waveforms you re-shape using 2 sliders
Keyboard - 61 keys w/ velocity and aftertouch
Filter - Lowpass 2 or 4 pole + envelope
Control - MIDI
Date Produced - 1986
Est. Value - $300 - $600
******
and this, which was about the keyboard version....
"A wonderful early digital synthesizer. With eight notes of polyphony, two oscillators per voice, a noise source, two multi-stage envelopes, a resonant filter and auto-bend, the DSS-1 has much in common with Korg's previous flagship DW-8000. But it went much further, boasting twin digital delays, oscillator sync, an improved unison mode, a lush analog VCF switchable between 12 and 24dB, and more. Whereas the DW-8000 got its raw material from 16 stored digital waves, the DSS1's oscillators take their source from sampling, additive synthesis, or even hand-drawn waveforms!
It actually had a warm sound and was great for creating pads and textures, as well as deep basses and drones. The synthesis method is based on altering various waveform samples via 2 data sliders. It can sample and then treat the samples as its waveforms - that includes all filtering and envelopes. The DSM-1 was the expanded rackmount version. It was used by Jean Michel Jarre, Joe Zawinul, Michael Cretu of Enigma, Mark Jenkins, Hiro Kawahara, Paul Nagle, Shriekback, and Steve Winwood.
the rack has 20 seconds of sample time @ 24khz it has almost 40 seconds _________________ 3. Fruity Loops does a nice job of chopping or slicing up the beat for me.

edit I guess it's a 16 bit sampler? maybe stores in 12 bit like the akai's? _________________ 3. Fruity Loops does a nice job of chopping or slicing up the beat for me.
