LonerXL: /* E-Mix Studio */
The '''Roland SP-808 GrooveSampler/SP-808EX E-Mix Studio''' is a discontinued digital sampler, which functions as a multitasking [[workstation]]. The digital sampler is apart of the long line of [[Roland Corporation]]'s Groove Gear, which includes the more successful [[SP-303]] and [[SP-404]] versions. A successor to the SP-606, the SP-808 GrooveSampler was originally released in the year of 1998.<ref>http://bit.ly/2JgOuhT> Sometime in the year 2000, the sampler was updated, redesigned, and released as the SP-808EX, with the addition name of "e-Mix Studio."<ref>http://bit.ly/2J0VSio> Despite being a continuation of previous SPs, both versions of the SP-808 lack certain features of the previous SPs.
==Features==
===Groovesampler===
The original SP-808 GrooveSampler can play up to four stereo samples simultaneously, with the sample rates of 44.1 and 32 kHz. The maximum sample time allowed is 25 minutes of stereo at the rate of 44.1 kHz. Being an upgrade from previous SPs, the sampler itself can hold over 1,000 samples, while 100MB Zip disks can store up to 1024 samples, roughly amounting to 64 minutes. Unlike other workstations, the samples can only be stored and read directly from the Zip Drive rather than internal RAM memory. In an effort to maximize storage space on zip disks, Roland decided against the use of AIFF and WAV audio formats.<ref>http://bit.ly/2JfXggh>
===E-Mix Studio===
Being an upgrade from the Groovesampler, the SP-808EX E-Mix Studio includes a virtual monophonic synthesizer for use with the step-sequencer and D-Beams. Vocal effects, guitar multi-effects, a 10-band vocoder, Voice Transformer, Mic Simulator, and a number DJ-oriented groove effects were added as well. A larger 250MB Zip drive replaces the original 100MB Zip. Sampling and recording time was extended possible to 61 stereo minutes. Expansion options include the OP-1 interface (6 analog outs, 2 digital I/Os, SCSI) and OP-2 interface (XLR I/Os, digital I/O, SCSI).<ref>http://bit.ly/2J0UQD0>
