Bizarre . . .I just did a trade for one that is supposedly coming in this weekend--in fact I saw your subject heading and thought it was the guy telling me when he was getting in . . . I haven't had a chance to play with one , but I liked the fact that 1) typical period-Akai styling--lights and had lots of tweakable KNOBS (an obsession of mine--ask anyone on this list)--don't need to mess with computors--real tactile loop manipulation 2) 12 bit like my Casio RZ-1 sampling drum machine--like the even dozen. 16, 20, 24 bits means increased resolution of my lack of musicianship. 3) matches my AX-80 synth from the same period 4) if you can find an AX-60 or 73 synth, you can run the samples through the synths versatile filter section---Yummm! I'm on the prowl . . . I got all my info from Synth Site, Hyperreal (Analogue Machines), Synth Museum and Synth Fool! all of which have info on these Akai pieces---Oh yeah, and Steve (SKULLSAW) of this group who has one (save the Japanese instruments disc for me!) all looped up and nowhere to go~~~Tom At 12:04 AM 3/14/98 -0500, you wrote: >Does anyone out there have a line on an Akai s 612 sampler for sale in >the NY/NJ area, >or maybe some chat about features, tricks, discs, or anything else about >em'. >I have two.
