Hi Jimmy,

>Sam Ash has one left. A Yamaha A5000 sampler for $500.00! Remember 
>what a DX7 used to cost?

Actually, I recently picked up TWO brand new Alesis QSRs for under $600, including shipping.  Granted, a) they were reconditioned units, and b) the QSR requires a PC or Mac and some free software as its sampler "front end" (recording console, editor, and UI), but I now have 128-voices, MIDI sequence playback, and up to 32MB of external (Flash) sample memory for less money than I paid for my one Alesis S4 (arguably, the QSR's predecessor) in 1991.  Technology marches on!  :^D

Regards,

-BW
