Im thinking it sounds better than alot of standalone drummachines. Can anyone tell me about thier results when sampling a raw TR-808 or 909 .
there is no way

I've sampled from both of my 808 and 909 into the 2kxl. The bass is ridiculous when you filter and tweak it. I don't have the MFC42 or the sample effects card but I bet it's even better for freaking.
MBP 11,3 | Logic | Traktor Pro | MPC500, 4000, 3000LE | MV8800, TR-707, 808 & 909 | ASR-10 | x0xb0x | Technics SL-1200 & SL-1200GLD | 4000+ records

MPC 60 is 12 bit, the rest are 16 bit

they don't have the same converters and the outs are different on every MPc (at least, it's very different between a 1000 and a 4000, just read the signal levels on the specs page on akaipro.com...)
on the 1000:
Stereo output (L and R) 1/4-inch phone x 2 unbalanced +11dBu, output impedance 1k Ohms
Max. output level +17dBu
4 individual outputs 1/4-inch phone x 4 unbalanced +11dBu, output impedance 1k Ohms
Max. output level +17dBu
Phones output 1/4-inch stereo phone x 1, 200mW / 32 ohms
on the 4000:
Main Out L/R 1/4-inch stereo phone/XLR Combo jack, balanced,
1/4-inch phone, Imp. 1.7kohm, 24dBu max.
XLR, Imp. 200ohm, 18dBu max.
Assignable Outs
(IB-48P required) 1/4-inch stereo phone x 8, balanced, Imp. 1.7kohm, 18dBu max.
Headphone 1/4-inch stereo phone, 60mW (32ohm)
and the 4000 can sample at 24bit/24kHz for better accuracy, a digital sound "closer to vynil's"...

i notice a difference in dynamics from the 4K versus my Kurzweil when sampling. i haven't dug out the literature to do a comparison but it comes down to RESOLUTION processing, the type of A/D D/A converters at play.
for instance, the 4K has a 'punchy' sound where as the Kurzweil seems more transparent. i've made some sample comparisons from a Korg ER1 both at 24 bit 48khz > the Kurzweil is the most accurate from my sound source so i'd say the Akai certainly adds a characteristic tone to the samples it takes.
