Hello everyone. I am a new member to this group. I have had my S1000 for
a few years but I have not really used it too muh in music making but I
want to change that. My unit does not have any memory expansion as far
as  I know. The backlight for the LCD screen is dead,as most are from
what  I've read, but I can still navigate the user interface.There used
to be a video on youtube showing someone replacing the backlight  on an
s1000 not using the original part but a very cheap replacement that
didnt match perfectly in size but did the job well.

How does one go about expanding the memory of the s1000? Also I would
like to see some videps of people menu diving and sampling, processing
sounds using this unit. I also would like to know if ther eis a resource
for samples? I have a copy opf the mnauak in .pdf format that I snagged
online when I first purchased the unit a few years ago and I also have
an OS update floating around somewhere on a HDDD but I could never get
the unit to read a disk.

I would also like to hear some original music where the s1000 was used.
Maybe some youtube vids or some soundcloud links?

I know the user vinyljunkie on youtube has one of these units and is
pretty active. I havent had the time to see if he is a memeber of this
group or not. But maybe he is.

Well I am glad that I found this group and hope to gain some knowledge
so that I can breath some life back into this potentially wonderful
piece of gear.

Cheers.
