Problem: No sound
Sampler start normaly and floppy driver loads program and samples. But there are no sound from outputs.
The issue was easily resolved by replacing the defective negative 79M12 voltage regulator on the PSU.
In addition to supplying power to the op-amps in the output stage, this regulator also powers the op-amp that provides the reference voltage for all 8 AN6012 DAC chips.
Firmware:

Should you buy one:
Absolutely! Not only for the fascination with old samplers but also for their distinctive crunchy sound. But the recommendation comes with a warning. It’s not always intuitive to use. It’s not difficult, but it takes some getting used to remember pressing the Execute button.
