That's correct. Audio recording is handled by the main CPU system, along with the rest of the synths and effects.

and not 16 BIT?
I think two points became conflated here. I was responding to your statement that the OASYS was limited by a 16-bit sound card; this is not the case.
However, you're absolutely correct that the samples and audio recording are 16-bit. These are the only parts of the system which are 16-bit; all synthesis and effects processing (filters, amps, mixers, VA oscillators, physical models, etc.), including any processing of samples and audio tracks, is done at 32-bit floating point or better. A/D and D/A are 24-bit.
