yip that looks like a identical match part number is the same, this is pretty cool to know as it will clear up some of the phasing problems the 1K has so i suppose this just means that it is indeed just a bug on the 1k as in a comparison on a thread in the 1k forum the 25k had tighter timing so i think its solvable on the 1K (Akai wake up)

thanks for the pics :wink:

Can you explain what you mean by phasing problems? Cause I noticed something like that, which has not been solved (and probably will never be), on the 2500.

On the other hand, the sequencer breaking down when a lot of events are triggered at once was a problem on the 2500's first OS, just like it was on the 1000 from what I heard, and has been solved with the first OS update. Which makes you wonder why it had to happen at all in the first place, when the internals are obviously that similar.

ok there is a thread in the 1K forum by medway the describes the phasing problem but its pretty easy to recreate just run some hats or snares like 1/8 or something and copy that to another track ( basically layering but on 2 separate tracks) on the 1K you will hear the phasing clearly and on the 25k it also phases apparently but not as bad as on the 1K

Yes, I thought so. I noticed it on my 2500 when I ran a phrase sample together with the same sample low pass filtered to boost its low end. Most of the time it runs together smoothly like it's supposed to, then on the next loop it seems to phase slightly, and on the following it's alright again. And that regardless of the two samples being in separate tracks or the same.

Can easily be worked around of course by resampling.

for sure i dont ever really have the same sample on 2 tracks but its still annoys a person knowing that the timing is off but I'm sure they will fix this soon

hey, slightly off topic. has anyone managed to expand ram past 128? I know it should be ample compared to other earlier models, just interested if anyones managed to do it with a 25/1k etc.
Cheers.
