Subject: FS:  TX-16W sampler, DS-8 synth



	Hello, I have two items for sale or trade:

	Yamaha TX-16W sampler,

		3 Megs memory
		original box and manual
		over 100 disks of samples for all types of music,
		 	but with an emphasis on dance/techno/indutrial
			type sounds.  

		16 voices
		1 pair stereo outs + 8 individual outs
		MIDI in/out/thru
		external trigger input
		footswitch input
		STEREO sampler with highly regarded sound quality

		resonant hi-pass, low pass, and band-pass filters
		filter EG's and LFO's
		pitch and amplitude EG's and LFO's
		one overall LFO
		all EG's are made up of 4 levels and 4 rates
		velicity curve for each voice can be graphically edited

		samples:
			16k, 33k mono, 33k stereo, or 55kHz sample rate
			pitch automatically detected
			finely adustable start and end points
			looping with auto zero-crossing point locating
			loop crossfading
			sample reversing & mixing

	The TX-16W operating system is relatively complicated.  This machine 
is very powerful, but not very user-friendly.  I highly suggest it to a non-
professional hobbyist type who has plenty of time to learn the nuances of the
machine.  You can't get a better sampler for anywhere near the price, but for
double or triple the price you CAN get one that's easier to use.

	The sampler is in perfect condition.  3 Megs of memory gives you 
about 50 seconds of sample time at 33 kHz.  THis is actually a whole lot.
I have almost never run out of room for smaples.  If you need more room, 
the sampler can be expanded to 6 Meg.  Sample time would more than double
since the operating system takes up some of the first 3 Meg.  I have several
setups that spread up to 64 percussion samples across the keyboard.

	Price:  $550.00
