With the possibility of getting flamed on - Why would you waste your hard earned money on this crap when there is so much better, more versatile, easily repairable, more supportable equipment BY AKAI on the market?!

I'm not talking about the lastest Z4 or MPC4000 either. Want a sampler, why not get an S2000. You can expand it to 32MB, add effects and control it by computer, and you can add each option as you get more money in your budget.

Too many companies produce sample CDs for it, sound disks, etc. It can use Zip media and Floppy. So many outlets will repair them , and its one of the AKAIs which make use of the universal S1000 format.

With almost no support, the possibility of disk drive faliure and the use of HARD TO FIND quick disks and 720KB floppys, why bother? I could understand the use of the X60 or 80, but why set yourself up for possible faliure and almost impossible/ultra expensive repairs?!
