Zero-X running on the Falcon

Zero-X / Zero-X 2

Zero-X by Copson Data was introduced in 1995. It was designed for the Atari to run on all Atari TOS computers, however there is an 030 specific version. It is a sample editor, capable of handling 16-bit stereo samples 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. Other than SCSI D2D, D2D sampling 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 although separate versions again for 68000 and 68030)

Zero-X later became available for the PC platform during 1999, introducing Zero-X Seamless Looper and BeatCreator. followed by Zero-X BeatQuantizer.
