LIKE THE S50, the S550 boasts 16 voices (most samplers have eight) with sample rates of 30kHz and 15kHz (a touch on the low side, compared to its competitors). The back panel features eight individual outputs (a large improvement over the original S50) and a single mix output. Sample memory is double that of the S50, totalling 28.8 seconds at 30kHz (that works out to roughly 844 Ksamples, or 1.266 Mbytes given 12 bits per sample), divided into two blocks and two banks per block (thus limiting any one sample to 7.2 seconds at the highest rate). Unlike some other double memory upgrades (Prophet 2000, Emulator II and so on), all samples in all banks may be played at the same time – thankfully, there’s no bank switching scheme. The operating system is stored on disk, and the system and sounds are saved using the familiar 3½” disk drive. It takes two disks to fully load the machine.
