that would be a powerful combo, but ur talking about 2 machines! no 
doubt u can do alot more.. for someone like myself that dosent use 
computers, or sampling beyond a couple of robot voices, this thing 
is great! i can sell my s2000 (not that its even worth selling) and 
purchase the UW upgrade.. clear some rack space uh huh yep, i just 
convinced myself.

its clearly not for everyone but the 80s roxx mane!! 12 bit sounds 
great.. after all its a drummachine, not a personal workstation, 
make you coffee.. 20 seconds is more than i need for some blips an 
bloops, the synths do the rest ;) what sampling specs would you 
expect in yur MD? 24bit 96khz with an 80gig HardDisk need to back it 
up? its like a whole different machine, wont even fit in the box!!
jus hope its not too EXPENSIVE!!!
jajajaja
