Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Oh, interesting point :-) it must be soft-wired i guess.
The software in the hardware still seems software to me.
Adjustable velocity curves are quite common on software
sequencers.. this could created randomiced sample starts. 
I think about high hats and drumloops.. more drumloops :)
..
Since i was definately "hardwired" on my Ensoniq (no Atari)
i didn't know that feature there. I should get one today.
