RE: SE-1?
Call Akai man They Aint up here.I like and use akai gear and if my all in one box breaks down and has to go in for a 30 day service i'm fucked for 30 days.Look dude Your concept of an all in one box is selfish.My All in one box would be bigger than my car it would have to have all sorts of shit you couldn't use if you need all in one roland will probably give it a shot for you.My akai gear works great and an all in one box would bring prices back up.Actually the price drop is because prior mpcs were manufactured in japan 2000s are made in china.Shit man if they give us this all in one box the way i would need it some corporation couldn't come up w/ it for one thing.Here's the basics of my gear MPC2000XL Fully loaded,S5000 Bare stock,777,EA-1,Analogue Solutions Modular,Korg EA-1,Doepfer MS 404,Seekers Vocoder,and a Space ECHO,IbanezAD202,and Boss VF-1,and a Finalizer 96k .How the hell are you gonna put that, much less some CORPORATE ASSWIPES IN 1 BOX.I need 2 RACKS,3 gigbags,and Alot of standz for my shit and that doesn't include my mac.

Plus My camcorder wtf How many trees do you want them to cut down and how the fuck are you gonna ship it anyway.
Damn I don't care because I spent over a decade and a half piecing together the puzzle that made me happy and now you wanna come along and just put all that on a DSP chip.Nope.You know what though there isn't a piece in my studio I wanna get rid of and if something breaksdown I can get by while I have it fixed.I see you guyz up here tryin to sell every all in one box or virtual synth everytime the MkII or model B comes along the only thing I might sell is my Finalizer because I got TC software that pretty much does the same thing w/ my G4 chip.But the finalizer is digital most of my other shit aint.OK,OK

Our philosophies differ that's all.Why can't that be ok.The mpc will NEVER be a all in one box.I'm pretty good w/ mine and am very happy how it's turned out IT's Still an MPC yours wouldn't be.The MPC can be any rhythmic instrument you like and does alot more shit too.like sequence the rest of my shit and store my patterns and songs on a zip.You can assign the slider too almost any parameter until the 2000 it was just a hi hat decay.Akai makes MPCs Because peeps like MPCs.Should there just be one box w/ a billion parameters to get in the way of fluid creativity,I don't like spending all day tryin to find shit that's why i spread the load around my studio.I see where you're comin from but damn when I started A cdrom burner cost like $15,000 US and a 8 bit sampler w/ 8voices and a GREEN computer monitor w/ a 10 mb HD cost $30,000.
LIKE I SAID BITCH AT THE PEEPS WHO MAKE THE GEAR BUT I"M EXPRESSIN MYSELF JUST LIKE I WAN'T TO.PEACE.let's not get ill if i don't shave for 3 days peeps call me sir(27,28 in december.)I'm just glad technology got where it has before I've turned 40 fuck.It took long enough I'm sorry if you didn't get to see all the expensive stuff that was around but I'm MAKING MY OWN recordz,dvdz,and cdz w/ just a little duplication.I didn't even imagine that was possible until 5 yrs. ago or so and it was still too much then.
