Synopsis:

Digital and video interfaces moved to optional board. Adds SP-700 output EQ. Architecture Class: Sampler.

Ebay Description:

The Roland S-760 is a 1U rack (velocity and aftertouch sensitive), 24 voice multitimbral, 16 bit, sampler, featuring a digital resonant low|band|high pass filter, dedicated filter and amp 4 stage envelopes, LFO (sine, triangle, saw-up|down, square, random, peak-hold waveforms with delay, polarity and sync), 3.5" DSHD Disk drive, stereo mic and line inputs, 8 individual outputs (with dedicated 2 band semi-parametric EQ), SCSI, and MIDI (including SDS). Up to 32 samples can be recorded at 16|22.05|24|32|44.1|48kHz (32MW max memory) and combined into a preset (128 presets). Sample editing includes auto-loop (forward/reverse, sustain/release, cross-fade), combine, mix, truncate, resonant low|high pass filter, reverse, normalize, cut/splice, compress/expand, time-stretch, resample, draw.
