Hi All,
Posted my Akai Z4 for sale on Craigslist along with the analog output expansion IB-48P. I did not price them low!
Just sold them both last night to the musical director for Pete Rock's concert tour. We put it through the motions to show him it worked and all of that. We had a great conversation. He has directed many tours and has his own private sponsorship with Pearl Drums. This cat was so cool, even offered me passes.
Turns out the Akai Z series is held in high esteem by quite a few touring musicians. He was singing the praises for this box sampler and said that is why he was willing to drive so far to check it out in person.
Just thought I would make sure I shared this story among those who would actually give a damn. It's 2016 and professional touring musicians are buying up older rack samplers because the sound of the Z series is such a "wonderful representation of the real actual sound"..."When you hear it in a stadium system it is perfect". These were the quotes from the man.
Yes I will be at the concert when they come to DC. You may really want to hold on to your samplers.
Cheers,
Ian
