AKAI XE8 Midi Drum Expander

Vendo el XE8 de Akai. Está en muy buen estado y todo funciona. Tiene sus años ya. Creo que es de 1988. Pero va perfecto. No tiene demasiados sonidos, pero los que tiene son fuertes y tienen impacto. Aparte de la salida MIX también tiene 8 salidas independientes, su trio de MIDI y dos ranuras para tarjetas ROM, para poder incrementar los sonidos disponibles.


"The Akai XE8 was way ahead of its time offering a wide range of 16-bit drum samples in a 1U rack mount unit for triggering from a keyboard or a sequencer or by the Akai ME25T pad-MIDI converter.

Released around 1988, the Akai XE8 preceded other similar drum modules such as the Roland R8M, the Alesis D4 and D5 and the Emu Procussion modules by many years.

It came with 16 internal drum sounds which could be augmented using (optional) ROM cards. Up to two cards (Ext 1 and Ext 2) could be used simultaneously. Sounds (internal or external) could be extensively edited and modified. You could adjust pitch, pitch modulation, amplitude envelope, amplitude modulation and more. Sounds could be assigned to any note and the unit also had eight individual outputs to which any drum sound could be assigned for outboard processing and manipulation."
