I bought mine at Sam Ash and the salesman showed me an SP1200, MPC then the ASR-10. He loaded and played the rap demo called "Gift of Gab" and I was like yeah give me this. Something about the way the sounds loaded up and basically a full song played with vocals included. Sold. Made mad demos for heads with that and an adat included one dude that got signed but deal fell through. I still have it... using a new machine these days but occasionally I'll go back to the ASR-10 when I am looking a certain sound.

I didn't feel old until I seen this.😆 I got mine back in 93. Sound went out a month in. Had to send it back to the factory. McMurray Music sent me home with the popular Kurzweil at the time. I like Ray's work but hated that thing because I was spoiled with ASR10. It was a long 8 weeks. Some board went out. Not a problem since. I still have it and use it from time to time. It still has a hard to beat sound. A lot of classic music made on that thing.

The ASR-10 was revolutionary back in the early 90s not because of what it could. There were other systems back then but because of how affordable it was that made it accessible for start up artist like Kanye and Timbaland. ASR10 was used to produced stronger faster and dirt off your shoulder

Bill Deal left "Bill Deal & The Rhondels" in 1983 and my father and some of the other Rhondels continued on the band as "The Rhondels". A few years later, some of the other former Bill Deal era Rhondels formed a band called "The Original Rhondels". And then later on for a short while, Bill Deal restarted "Bill Deal and the Rhondels" again. Kinda complicated, I know 😅 Your cousin might have played with my dad's Rhondels.
