The 2488’s Standard
MIDI player and General
MIDI sound module provide
an additional stereo sound
source for fuller arrange-
ments.
Complete waveform
editing including cut/copy/
paste/loop gives you DAW-
like flexibility for building
that next hit recording.
And for the final mix, the
built-in CD-RW drive can
turn your 2-track master
mixdown into a Red Book
CD, or use it to back up the
hard drive or import and
export .WAV files.
If you want the best of
both worlds — a portable,
compact workstation and
the creative power of 24,
24-bit digital tracks — look
no further. ó
