feb 1, 1978 - DMX 15-80 Digital Delay Line by AMS

Description:

In 1978, AMS introduced the world's first microprocessor controlled, 15-bit digital delay line, the AMS DMX 15-80. One of the early users of the AMS DMX 15-80 was Manchester record producer Martin Hannett who would go on to own quite a few of the devices. Later the DMX included "loop triggering" launching the use of digital sampling. The DMX later included pitch changing and up to 32 seconds of delay.
