Yeah thats right But I really don't see the excitement with the ancient Akai samples. For the past 20 years i hear about Akai Samples...... The S900 has better voices than many of those old Akai sample disks, I must be missing something....

There are sample CD and software that can be sampled that has to be better then old Akai samples. Unless its the Akai FORMAT people are excfited about. Mapping is not all that difficult on the Tyros either. Certainly easier then the old samplers. The XS is a walk in the park in that regard, especially as compared to the Tyros with eight elements to play with across the vertical and horizontal sampling planes. Thats better than my Dimension Pro software sampling
