Re: [elektron] Re: MD & Akai MPC1000

Now that you've got the bug, you're really asking
questions in the wrong forum.  Check out some place
like:

www.rs7000.org

Those guys can answer all of your questions about the
rs7000.  There's even a running flame thread on the
rs7K vs. the MPC's :-)

Also, you can check out the manual here:

http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/download2.php

www.yamahasynth.com has product info.  Of course, you
should always hit harmony-central.com & sonicstate.com
for reviews by real users (mostly - sometimes a
"whiner" gets in).

Nice box, almost bought one, just too big for my
little room.

Happy Hunting, Eric
P.S. max memory is only 64MB 'cuz it was released in
Dec 2000, that was way high tech for the times.
