If you are going to Max out and you have a digital Hard Disk Recorder check out the IB4DT 2 IN/8 Out ADAT optical I/O to keep everything digital. Go for the memory to upgrade to at least 256MB for sampling and make sure you got OS 1.51 on the bad boy. Hard Disk Drive is a plus too if you have it. I hope it helps.

all no problem vaio

os 1.51 is the last os and the best one! if you get a new 4k it will be in there anyway! if not you can download it from any akai website and install it yourself! ... there will come out another one hopefully within 2-3 month

cd burner: thats optional! you can install a cd or a cdrw, which is great to sample from, back up your things, ... currently its even my most used cd player :lol:

another advise: gat one with a harddisc! everythin else is a hassle
