Zero-X / Zero-X 2

Zero-X by Copson Data was introduced in 1995. It was designed for the Atari Falcon, but does run on all Atari TOS computers from 1998. It is a Sample Editor, capable of handling 16-bit stereo frequencies of up to 48 kHz. Notable features include the ability of transferring samples via SCSI, MIDI Sample Dump conforming to the SDS standard, Akai SCSI D2D (Zero-X 2 only, introduced in 1998) and Beatsplit. D2D functions, as you would expect, are reserved for the Atari Falcon only. There were reportedly a few versions of Zero-X:

• 68000 for all Atari ST/STE/Mega models
• 68030 for TT and Falcons
• 68030+68882 for TT and Falcons with co-processors (FPU)
• Zero-X 2 (for all Atari TOS models)
