Bel BD80S Stereo Delay/Sampler (SOS Apr 88)

muzines.co.uk

The Bel BD-80S Stereo Delay Sampler offers commendable features like 6.5 seconds of stereo sampling and robust MIDI compatibility. However, its design falls short in usability, particularly during the sample capture process, requiring more steps than necessary. The lack of real-time pitch changing is a notable omission, especially when compared to pricier competitors. While the unit performs adequately for conventional studio applications, its sensitivity issues at lower operating levels can hinder performance, particularly in non-professional setups. Ultimately, the BD-80S might appeal to budget-conscious users, but its operational quirks and limited capabilities could leave seasoned musicians wanting more.

"...at that time there were these things called Bel delay units, and you could basically use them as samplers. You could put something into the delay and then play it, as a part. It's all over Isn't Anything. You could do things like put a little sound into it, and there was an arrow going up and an arrow going down, and we were sat there going 'up up up up up...'"
