Envelopes and res. filter on all voices (32).
Reads all formats including .wav from pc disks !!
Gotta be half cool for that.
I'll be ordering one in a few weeks.
My critique to follow . . .
Cheers,

ie. being able to trigger musical samples from an external sequencer or keyboard.
I heard that it just plays samples like drums and hits etc. but wont transpose or play sounds like an instrument.

It was between it and the ASRX and I tried and returned the ASRX...
Someone asked can it play regular sounds, yes of course it can. However if you're looking for a full synthesizer sampler (that can take a sample and add LFO's, complex envelopes and crazy filters) this is not it, get a rack sampler.
When you sample a synth noise or something, you have a attack/decay amplitude and filter envelope, a useable resonant lowpass filter and a velocity/filter and velocity/pitch setting. This does not have crazy highpass/multi-sloped shite. You can change the pitch of a sample up or down a total of 4 octaves and you can set a loop point within a tonal sample for sustain (this is what sample synthesizers do) so...
In addition to this fair amount of synthy options, the sequencer is the best hardware sequencer on the market, straight up. It's only 96ppq, but that has nothing to do with the processing power...this thing is tight, you can add crazy continuous controller changes and it will not skip a beat.
But, if you're doing computer sequencing, do not buy this box; a big part of it is the sequencer. For the money you could get a rack sampler that is more synthy or an ASRX (I'm still not sure I'd go for this...it feels rather toyish...)...
anyway....

I crashed it on OS 1.06, got the 1.07 update, and did the same thing that crashed it before...
It's solid now...
Umm... and the bug with saving across multiple disks (wrong disk format error on second and following disks) does not occur anymore.
BUT, I wondered if anybody else has crashed the 2000XL and been thrown into "crazy hex editor mode" ... that shit was pretty trippy...I'd have been pissed if I was working on some phenominal shit but luckily I was just fucking around with some Booty...anyway...
