control.
Key Assimil8or features include:
>
Eight-channel multi-timbral operation.
Each channel is available from its own
independent output as well as (optionally)
appearing in the stereo mix output.
>
422MB of sample memory, freely
allocatable between the 8 channels.
>
Eight sample zones per channel, for CV-
controlled sample selection.
>
Superb 24-bit A/D and D/A conversion.
>
Mono or stereo sampling. Channels can
be configured as eight mono voices, four
stereo voices, or any combination. (Well,
any combination that adds up to eight).
>
Link Mode to create multilayered sounds
under the control of a single trigger
>
Cycle Mode
to allow one trigger source
to sequentially trigger multiple channels,
allowing repeatedly triggered sounds (e.g.,
a ride cymbal) to overlap (among other
effects).
>
Crossfade Groups to crossfade between 2
to 8 channels under CV control.
>
Unique timbral capabilities with the ability
to phase modulate samples by external
analog signals or by other samples (a first,
we believe).
>
24 CV inputs that can be arbitrarily
assigned to any parameters on any
channels.
>
Variable sample fidelity with independently
controllable anti-aliasing and bit depth
under CV control.
>
Extensive sample manipulation and
looping capabilities.
>
One-shot or gated sample playback with
variable attack and release times.
>
24 CV inputs that can be arbitrarily
assigned to any parameters on any
channels.

Assimil8or’s functions in turn.
