Ensoniq continues their passion for workstations with the ASR-X. Proclaiming this as an "Advanced Sampler/Resampler," Ensoniq packs this machine with lots of cool and easy-to-use features. It's got 16-bit stereo sampling, a built-in synthesizer (based on their MR workstation keyboards) with 2-Mbytes of ROM waveforms, 32-voice polyphony, a 16-track sequencer, a serious effects processor, performance pads and a disk drive. As you could have guessed this is a real powerhouse with the real stand-out feature being the resampling function.

The only competitor to Akai's MPC-series, the ASR-X has superior filters (low, high and bandpass with resonant modes), dead-easy and quick resampling with effects and filters (of sequenced or played parts even) and totally kick-ass effects as standard, 2MB more max RAM (no big deal).

The ASR-X is a sampling, synthesizer, sequencer and effects studio in a single tabletop unit. For a machine that's competing with the Akai MPC-3000, the ASR-X is a worthy opponent. It's got professional sampler specifications, and easy yet professional sample editing features. Process your samples with modern edit functions including copying, truncating, reduce bits, scaling, normalizing and inverting. It has enough built-in effects to sweeten your samples with: EQ, Reverb, Chorus, Flanger, DDL, Distortion, Tunable Speaker, Chatter Box, Vocal Morph, and Auto-Wah. Sequencing is also easy and hands-on. Microscopic Tempo control and resolution allow for punchy groovy sequences with plenty of feel and note capacity. There are also independent dual multi-mode dynamic digital filters with low-pass, high-pass, variable bandwidth band-pass, resonant low-pass and resonant band-pass. This ASR-X includes a SCSI interface for limitless storage to disk or drive. With all these advanced features, it truly gives the MPC-3000 a run for its groove!!

The ASR-X is a classic and a cult in the making as more and more producers, artists, and songwriters are discovering that the ASR-X is a beatz maker better than the MPC's!! With the ASR-X, you'll be able to start making killer HipHop and electronica tracks just like the pros do!
