Just curious if this is a place where I can find opinions of these two gears.
I've owned the AKAI... a few times... What I like is it's fairly easy functionality where I can come back to this machine years after and still know how to do stuff.
I've also owned a YAMAHA A series. This one was way harder to use- making it feel less desirable of the two. The high point is the fact that it has more advanced FX. . . And all units have this FX block.
The AKAI has basic stuff, reverb, delay, distortion, chorus ECT. Just nice little treatments you can use instead of in the DAW or MIXER.
The YAM - maybe there's secrets to the machine I didn't take enough time to learn when I had one in 2012. . . I know can sample entire batches of samples and they will map them automatically, like, if you had a file with a row of drum it would basically do the sampling for you.
The AKAI - just the way the interface is - I know it's easy to use. It uses WAV files! I like the operation. I like it's work flow and visual appeal.
So-
have you used either? why do I want one? because it's fun- that's all.
