Roland DM 80-8,HD 8 Ch Recorder with DM80-R Remote controller and DM-80F Fader Unit. Only $995.00

This DM-80-8 has 2 100M hard drives for 8 channels of recording simultaneously. It has multiple digital and analogue I/Os, real time sample rate conversion and optical disk support. Recording time is limited to the amount of hard disk storage. One SCSI bus and disk is required per 4 tracks of audio. The recording format is 16 bits linear; sample rates of 31,44.1 and 48 khz may be selected. Each 100 megabyte hard drive will allow roughly 18 monophonic minutes of recording time at the CD rate of 44.1 kHz. A single recording or project may be spread over multiple hard disks for even longer recording times. On playback, the DM-80 uses a trick borrowed from MIDI sequencers and drum machines, where any one recorded section may be re-used any number of times. A re-used section may have different start, stop, fade in, and fade out times than the original use of the section. Also, when a track is silent, no disk memory is used. Therefore, the total playback time may be much longer than the total recorded time. This unit, along with the remote controller and fader pack were originally priced at over CA$10,000.00, a BARGAIN at $995.00!
