Without expansion, it receives only one stereo output and no effect. The effect is rather expensive card, an external effects may be preferable. Level memory, it is essential to context an external HDD (SCSI) to benefit a large number of sounds (the floppy drive ... thank you!). Next afternoon, it's OK (IN, OUT and THROUGH).
Essential but FREE, the PC or Mac to edit sounds (usually available on site AKAI).
Ability to play Midifiles is useful in live ...

UTILIZATION

Without the appropriate software, editing sounds really galley (small screen, all by knob ...). The French manual is fairly complete. It is better to master a minimum of editing analog to make the most of opportunities S2000.

SOUNDS

The sound is very professional, but a bit "cold".

OVERALL OPINION

Equipment used for 3 years. Good quality / price ratio, but requires a little time to really enjoy it.
