another sampler/sequnecer (almost OT)

2011-01-12 by Szőnyi András

Sorry for a new non-E-MU question but I've just found an old machine for a 
reasonable price.
Does anyone know the Ensoniq ASR-X Pro? - btw it looks like a prototype of 
the E-MU Command Stations. :)
(http://www.vintagesynth.com/ensoniq/asrxpro.php)

I'm especially curious about the sound of that, not the sequencer 
capabilities. (The CS's sequencer or a DAW is good enough for me.)

I know it is difficult to objectively talk about the sounds,
I try to give an example what kind of sound I'm looking for:
Until now I owned two samplers: E-MU ESI32 and an AKAI MPC 4000,
to be honest I felt the ESI has a much better sample playback.
(Unfortunately both machine had to be sold...)

Do I think right the ASR-X Pro has an ESI32-like sound or better?
