Akais are too damn hard...

i think that the sequencer ont the 1k 2k 3k are all pretty much the same the 4k is the one where sheit got nuts. the 3k and the 60 are both 12 bit i think. does anyone know the sample time on a maxed out 60 or 3k?

Maxed 60 (12bit)- 26.2 seconds.
Maxed 3000 (16 bit) 320 seconds mono./do the math to find out for stereo.

MP 60 & 3k are the simplist mp's to work with. I can operate my 60 with my eyes closed. Not that you asked..but the SP1200 is easier to work with than a MP.

But to answer your Q, I would say the 2000xl is the easiest of the three to work with. (1000,2000xl, 4000)

I've only used the 2000 classic but it's it's easy to use to me. Now I'm just trynna master my recording techniques which is a whole other story

xl is the way too go...1000 has too many shift and hit sumthin...too small..pads that double as functions...wack.
