actually those specs do sound pretty reasonable. nice touch with the onboard flash... and the two headphone jacks and two sd slots is pretty nice also.

I cant wait to try one, even though the name takes a while to digest...

upgrading the processor is interesting, although a good one should be put in right off the bat because that sounds like issues waiting to happen.

the thing i dislike is how its aimed at the pop-hop market, it could really suit my needs but i need to know it's gonna be a kick ass sampler/sequencer for the average crate digger, which looks promising atm..

well it is several years newer then the 1k... so of course it will be better spec wise. the fx, well how hard is it to put some of the standard fx? The thing that takes the time (to be tested and true) is how solid the OS is gonna be. Look how easy of a time akai had messing up their opperating systems. They overcome the challenge of getting all the worst bugs included in their machine.

Don't have to be an English major to make thangz...

Just cause we have a different approach doesn't mean our support won't be bang'n

you have the prez of the company in Tha forum with you don't you???

Please show me where any other company has done that... Do they even know how to work their own products.... So you tell me.... A company who even the highest exec is in the forum and is chief beta tester/ product specialist....hmmm I wonder if they will have good support??? Dude even our secrataries make beats.

If u want a grammar lesson go buy a tiger pocket dictionary. If you wanna make a damn beat get a Thang.

I give a shit if u like our marketing...83 pages deep and counting
what new product on this forum has that???

I just met the designer of the asr x at summer Namm and he blessed the design and gave props, even Roger emailed me props... Don't be petty let's talk features.

Adjustable ppq 96-960 set it how u want

stereo input with phantom power ( stereo line in for records, mono for bass or guitar, XLR for mic's dynamic or condenser)

same output and mic pre quality as digi 003

We may even allow u to upgrade the processors so as faster ones come out u can upgrade.

2 head phone jacks

everything made on the software plays on the hardware and vice versa plus the hardware is the perfect controller.

256 ram stock! How much can a 5000 expand too?

Read data off of SD, external HD, or USB flash drive

1 gig Rom with 400 mb open so if you don't have an sd card

Color Video Lcd.... Yes it looks sick

all metal case. Indestructable

shall I continue.....

When yall gonna realize we ain't play'n

maybe when u play it!!!! But I'm sure there will still be those ones that say....

"it's called a Thang" or "it's got a grill" or "it lights up" or any other thing to avoid actually admitting that for the price our specs are better than the industry standard!!

By the way Namm was Lame ( besides our block party)

u can probably stick a fork in the summer show

lol

Aja

ps. I hope yall don't mind me talking real and not kissing ur a$$
I'm no corporate suck up!! Like it or not I speak my mind




All this equals = $0 from me....hope you realize that..... I gives a f*ck how other cats feel but I expect way more from a "Prez". If this is how yall act before it drops I can only imagine how you'd act when theres a defect and a paying customer needs real help. Either way..when this Thang drops we'll see how the trash talk and kiddie grammar helps/hurts this product....

When i mail them with a question going like: I have an MPC, why would i but your product? I Almost got attacked for using Akai products, no specs on the "Thang" was mentioned in the return mail.

And two headpones out HAHAHAHA, Why?!















































And does it have to be THAT ugly, i mean.............

I can't answer anything about the email support, they've always responded to my emails fine.

As for two headphones, I can think of a few reasons it would be coo.

If you working on a track and want someone to lay some keys, guitar, voals, etc for your sampling, they can hook up another pair of headphones and hear what you're working on, so they can play to the track. In a studio setting it probably isn't needed, but when not in a studio setting ( like probably many of the customers of this Thang will be) it's a helpful feature.

That's the way I'd see using it, I guess you can have two cats working at the same time but that would be awkward lol.

yeah, they replied to all my emails within a few hours.

except for the time i asked about hooking up a USB qwerty keyboard for naming and stuff. I never got a response for that.
