Avalon / Avalon 2

Avalon by Steinberg was introduced in 1989. It is a Sampler Editor, which is capable of handling, for example, the Akai S1100's stereo samples of frequencies up to 48 kHz at 24-bit. Of course this is via MIDI, in it's Avalon 2 guise. Along with Steinberg's 16-bit D-A board, sound can be output at 16-bit. Two versions were produced, Avalon and Avalon 2 which followed in 1991, irrespective of sub versions. With Avalon 2, Steinberg introduced a Synthesis page, adding a modular software synthesizer to allow patching of modules to add to your samples. It also provided support for the Akai S700, S900, S1000, S1100, Casio FZ1, Dynacord ADS, ADD-one, Emu Emax, Emax II, Ensoniq EPS, Prophet 2000, Roland S50, S330, S550, S770 and Yamaha TX16W. Also, any Sampler that subscribes to the MIDI SDS format.
