High quality samples, very powerful filtering. A studio beast in 1U 19" Rack format. Optional front panel sound cards are still available. 14500 Francs in 1994. A very nice opportunity at a good price-quality ratio nowadays. 297 "Z-Plane" filters including flangers, parametric, translation, etc. A few notes and we understand all the E-MU genius.  

THE LEGENDARY SAMPLER JOINS FORCES WITH AN ICONIC SEQUENCER Designed for the stage, the SP-404A Linear Waveform Sampler expands the sound horizon of the Roland AIRA TR-8 Rhythm Performer through a combination of percussive synthesis with sampled sound. The fast, direct handling that is so popular with the SP Series samplers complements the Roland AIRA TR-8 Rhythm Performer's rhythm effects and step sequencer. The SP-404A offers all the features of the popular SP-404SX, including 16-bit linear sampling, 29 internal effects, smooth switching between effects, and 12 professional-quality performance pads. In addition, a sound library prepared by the industry leader, Loopmasters, is provided on an SD card. Whether you use it standalone or control it from the TR-8, the SP-404A is sure to expand the possibilities of your AIRA instruments. This is a new must-have for DJs, musicians and producers.

The MOTU Audio 24I/O interface fulfills the promise of host-based hard disk recording: recording, editing, mixing and mastering multitrack recording projects entirely inside the computer. It provides 24 high-quality, 24-bit/96kHz analog inputs and outputs in a single rack-space, cost-effective package, allowing you to connect and record from up to 24 simultaneous analog sources. The MOTU 24I/O can be purchased as an expansion for an existing PCI-424-based MOTU audio system, or as a base system that includes the PCI-424 card and Audiodesk workstation software. This is the complete base system, not just the expander interface.

The SP-505 is an advanced entry-level sampling workstation aimed at the electronic, hip hop and dance market that fits somewhere in between the economical BOSS SP-303 and the professional Roland SP-808. The SP-505 is centered around working with one-shot samples, loops, grooves and drum beats through a fairly basic set of sampling, sequencing and performance-oriented features. The machine has 8 voices of polyphony and 4MB of internal sample memory that can contain up to 250 samples organized among 16 sound banks (4 preset and 12 user). Sampling specs are limited to CD-quality 44.1 kHz (which yields about 2 minutes of sample-time) as well as 22.050 and 11.025 kHz sample rates (more sample time, but less sound quality)

The K-Station is a whole new take on the original Bass Station Keyboard that put British synth makers Novation on the analog synth map! Essentially, the K-Station is an extremely well laid-out and superbly designed 2-octave keyboard version of their new A-Station rack module. It features 8 voices of analog modeled sounds with FM, 12-band vocoder, arpeggiator, reverb and delay effects, 400 user rewritable program memories, and more. Unlike the crowded interface and puny LCD display screen found on the A-Station, the K-Station has a beautiful layout with easy access to its knobs, sliders and buttons. And finally there's a large LCD display!
