These are things that JJ added that Akai could have done just as easily while also taking care of issues that people have.


i think the scrolling in the trim screen sucks on both the Akai and JJ OS's... but i actually prefer the Akai over the JJ, because on the JJ if i have a long sample and i only need to adjust the end points by a little bit, i need to hit zoom like 20 times before it moves in single digit steps. that is just moronic. i end up saying forget it and settling for end points that aren't exactly where i would have wanted them.

they need to change it so it works like the 2000xl did with velocity sensitive scrolling. if you spin the data wheel slowly, it should move the end points in single digit steps. the faster you spin the data wheel, the larger the steps should become. zooming in should ONLY zoom in on the waveform, it should NOT affect the steps that the end points make.

that's my 2 cents and number 1 feature request.


its like every audio-editing-software works ,you have to zoom in to make more precisly selections

yes, but it's unlike the 2000xl which allowed you to make precise selections regardless of how far you were zoomed.

if i want to move an end point one or two samples with the JJ OS, i have to go into trim mode, and then click zoom like 10 times. that slows down workflow.

it also slows down workflow to save to floppy or zip

i'm not sure if you're responding to me or just purposely trying to bash the 2000xl, but saving to floppy or zip did not slow down workflow. with the 2000xl you saved when you're finished with your workflow. you didn't have to save every so often cuz that sucker never crashed.

plus, i had an external hard drive as well as an internal PC card drive (which took smartmedia, SD, compact flash and PC Card ATA hard disks) on my 2000xl. it took seconds to save. did the mod a few years before they started offering the card reader option.
