FOR THE REASONS YOU HAD SAID IN PAST LETTERS I WOULD
GO FOR THE S3000XL. THE DISPLAYS ARE ALWAYS READABLE.
I HAVE AN S3000 THAT IS VERY WEAK, BUT I DEAL WITH IT.

IT IS RARE TO FIND THESE OLDER AKAI'S WITH A BRIGHT
DISPLAY.MY 1100 IS WEAK BUT NO WHERE NEAR MY 3000.
YOU RUN STEREO SAMPLES THRU AN 1100 AND BEFORE YOU
KNOW IT YOU HAVE RUN OUT OF VOICES.WHEN I RECORD I USE
A KURZWEIL 2500 AN EMU E5000 AN AKAI S1100 WITH AN
AKAI 1100EXPANDER A ROLAND 1080 WITH THE ORCHESTRAL
BOARD AND AN AKAI S3000.THE ROLAND ORCHESTRAL BOARD
HAS THE BEST HARPSICHORDS IN THE WORLD.THIS WAY I ONLY
RUN MY SOLO VIOLIN THRU MY S1100.NEVER HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT POLYPHONY.STAY AWAY FROM THE AKAI S2000!!!

TAKE CARE STEFANO

P.S. MY REAL NAME IS DAVID CASTAGNA (CHESTNUT)
