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 16-bit stereo Sampler capable of sampling 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)
