Polyphony expandable to 64 128 - Adverse optional - 8MB Memory expandable to 256MB - Edition on Mac / PC.

UTILIZATION

For configuration, there are many optional things as always with Akai.
The manual is clear. Editing is facilitated by the screen which is a real treat. There are editing on a computer even easier work.

SOUNDS

The converters are less transparent than the Z4 I have now and is less dynamic but of course quite correct.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 5 years, working the many samples.C was my first sampler and I sold it to buy the Z4.
I especially appreciate the large screen allowing to have a maximum of parameters under the eyes. What I regret the Z4. What I like least is that the IDE interface is not active on the motherboard, preventing to put an IDE hard drive internally.
The price / quality ratio is very good if there were any options already included in the standard version (eg USB).
At the time, I would redo this choice.
