Born from a love of classic sampling workflows, this compact keyboard brings a legendary rack’s personality back into a self‑contained instrument you can actually put your hands on.
The OAK-S37 is a 37-key hardware sampler built around a full recreation of the Ensoniq ASR-10’s audio engine, effects, and workflow, running the original operating system at its core. Designed as a true workstation-style keyboard, it invites you to play, chop, layer, and resample directly from the front panel, with dedicated controls laid out for fast access to core sampling and performance functions. Instead of emulation in a plug-in window, you get a focused instrument that behaves like the classic it’s based on, while living in a modern, portable chassis.
Currently in active development and shown in prototype form, the OAK-S37 stays honest to its inspiration: the same style of filters, envelopes, and effects processing that made the original ASR line a staple for sample-based production, now in a streamlined 37-key format. It is aimed at producers who want that proven sound and workflow in dedicated hardware, ready to drop into a live or studio rig without a computer in sight.
