Re: MD & Akai MPC1000

> try the Yamaha RS7000. I like it much more than the MPC in sound 
and functions. 

I made a little inverstigation conserning rs7000 and I must say it 
looks pretty nice. Mpc-4000 is very nice too, but it also costs a lot 
more. I have couple of questions about rs7000:

1. I've read some seqenecer edit modes, but it isn't clear to me that 
wether there is recording mode where I can hit notes where-ever I 
want (and not like in MD: to only 16 steps)? I mean can I play for 
example piano straight inside sequencer and it is not quantized (and 
I can quantize it later if I want)?

2. Can I start making music for example defining a loop of 2 or 4 
bars (like in MD or MnM). Hit the play+record and punch stuff in as 
long as I want (and the loop keeps looping and the rs7000 sends play 
commands to elektron gear)? And is there some instant undo button to 
start over again? I know these are pretty specific questions, but 
after elektron gear I take easy sequencing pretty seriously.

3. Can I do multisamples (haven't found this info). For example I 
have one glitch sample in C4 and other in D4?

4. What stuff can you 'automate' or 'record in to sequencer'? In 
believe some effects parameters can be recorded? Mutes? How about 
something sample specific, like loop points?

It seems very nice machine, but why does it have only 64 mb of sample 
ram...

Toni.
