can some 1 tell me how important the data knob is to even use this machine lol cuz itd be nice 2 know that

lol I'd guess it's the equivalent of buying a car with a non-functioning accelerator pedal. :D

I'm sure it's fixable though. I'd love to play around with a hardware sampler at some point. Seems like it could be a lot of fun.

'Seems' is definitely the right word lol. I got an Akai S2000 and haven't really managed to use it yet. To be honest its kinda a pain in the ass to use. I did try sampling some stuff with it but it just kept freezing. I'm gonna try getting some samples on there but its really not easy at all to be honest!

I love you promo

fucking lol

an S2000, with a two line old-school LCD display = not fun, even when the sampler is working properly (yours sounds like it isn't since it's freezing [also i know because i trained on one in college])

S5000/S6000 with a massive 320x240 full graphic display = absolute dream to use (i know, i had one)

ya I'm sure it's a totally different beast. The detachable display looks rad as well.
