Akai S5000/6000

Has anyone seen the new akai samplers? I am wondering if onboard effects are standard or available via add on.

They are deveolping a new 4-channel, 20-bit effects processor (the EB20).

The S5000 will have an option, and it will be standard on some versions of the S6000.

You can get more info at Akai's Web Site.
