RS 20 sec recording module

[Hans-H.Klos]

Hello!
So what's the problem if the sound changes a certain (not too short period)
over time? I thought "synthesizers" are supposed to sound unpredictable
and actually a change in sound is often good, It might sound crappy for
certain chips though.
Sy why hot put 10 samples in rom-chip and select the one you want to work on
to put in 4 of those chips (polyphony= 5?). Some raw samples like sine,
square,
noise, whooh...
The problem should be burning the rom, and I know about 0.001% about that
topic and don't have money for a burner.
Then you could do funny things whith that device. For example you got one
square oscillator that sounds like hell... you "sample" it in the four chips
and got polyhony 5!! You can sample a phrase, melody (20s is enough) or
whatever
and play it back and process it  through all the other stuff. An the big
thing about it
is that you can have 1 output (or more) for each sample!
This should be pretty useful.
And don't forget that saving isn't THAT big issue if you think of all that
big machines
that you have to remember all the wiring and knob positions of.
Sure you could also buy a $200 used pocket sampler, but we are diy-ers????
and
we will be the ones who create that unknown sound of deterioration?! (mixed
whith some
tube and diy spring reverb...)
