Hi, im Martí, from Spain.


Im new to the music world, but been in electronics since i was a kid. This is like the best of both worlds for me: mod things and making noises, wonderfull.



The thing that brought me here was that im about to buy an Akai S1000 (obviously) but it has no RAM expansion, only 2mb. For the price im going to pay (50€) it seems ok to me.

My goal is to make some resampling truth it and, when bored, Im thinking about trying to make a RAM module for it.


So so so, a few questions:



Im been reading about the limitations of having only that amount of memory, but people sometimes is a little bit whiner and elitist, so i want to ask here, can i make something usefull with that amount of memory? Something useful for me is Kick+HiHats+percussion+Snare+some vocals, or something like that. I know that i cant seq with it, im talking just about the sound hoarding capatibilities.



Another one: do you think it is worth it? I think yes, but i can be fooled with that seemingly low price, so again i ask the pros.



Now the technical question: what about RAM clones? I have seen the M32S1 but im not willing to pay that kind of money, im happier doing it the hard way
