The Ultimate SynthDB | Con Brio ADS 200-R

Browse

Description	In 1982 Con Brio released the ADS 200-R, a 32 voice version (expandable to 64) featuring a 16-track polyphonic sequencer with 80,000 note storage capability and editing functions available from the scoring screen. The dual-manual keyboard was replaced by 1 or 2 single manual of 61 keys. Pricing was also reduced to about $20,000, but only one of these models was ever built. Although Con Brio considered retooling it into a sampling workstation similar to the Fairlight CMI, the cost of their operation and pressure from cheaper synthesizers (like the much cheaper Yamaha DX synths) and larger manufacturers forced the company to go out of business later that year before their vision was able to be realized.
