S1000 Possibilities

2004-05-19 by phrenology

Right now both of my S1000's are gathering dust because I find them 
hardly useful. My S1000 has no SCSI or digital card and the S1000 PB 
doesn't seem to be working well with the SCSI CD ROM. The only 
successful thing I have done is sampled parts of my drum kit on the 
S1000 and transferred them via floppy to paly on the S1000PB. The 
samples I created sound great but this is a useless set up if I can't 
take advantage of loading via CD-Rom on either unit. Suggestions?

If I don't do too much with the S1000, I will strongly consider going 
for a S3000 or CD3000XL. The cost of buying the upgrades for the 
S1000 seems to outweigh the cost of a fully loaded S3000. I would 
still keep my S1000PB and ME35T combo for loading samples and drum 
playback. If anyone wants to pick up an S1000 to get started I might 
consider trading it for an S3000 plus some cash difference or letting 
it go alltogether for a fair offer.
