Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Steven,

The contests in the other yahoo groups have all kinds of styles.
External effects are of no use since you deliver the source: a midi
file and a floppy disk image. Maybe there will be people who don't
like it to share a source files, but I think the contest should be
just about using the S1000 and nothing else. That's the way they do it
in the mc909 group. OK, it's easier for them because mc909 is a more
complete production platform, but you can compare it with writing a
program for the commodore 64. It might be limited, but you can do
crazy things with it if you're good (look at www.prophet64.com: a free
TB303 and TR clone for the C64).  


Rgds,

Frank
