You can sample on the DSS-1 and record the results without having to save to floppy.

Has there ever been a newer keyboard made that can edit samples like a synthesizer. The DSS-1 looks amazing, but I'm not trying to go back to using 720kb floppies ever again. I heard that it requires the floppy disk drive to be able to sample.. I was hoping I could sample and simply record the results without saving the sound in the DSS-1. Kinda sucks.

I have had this beast for a bout six months and I must say that this is truly a one-of-a-kind instrument. As a sampler it is dated but warm (VCF) and the sample time is limited, as with any sampler of this era. Still highly playable, however, and the modulation options and keyboard aftertouch make it capable of very realistic and expressive acoustic emulations. As a synth.. wow. The wave-drawing feature is killer and makes for some very bright, "chimey" FM-esque sounds, but with some serious added warmth with the VCF and then some added thickness with the osc sync. I will give this machine five out of five just for the synth engine, no doubt. Add twin delays and the ability to use a sample as a waveform and you have one of the most original machines of it's time and something special to add to your vintage collection. Not to mention you can kill a bear with it (70 lbs or so..). Not that anyone would want to kill a bear.
