With SEQ files you can record the beat to a DAW or recording device. Are you resampling your performance? Well then I recommend getting some RAM and the 128MB kind too. Check Amazon.com now, they got Akai RAM for $15 bucks.

But yeah, record what you got to a DAW seems to be the only solution.

Your best bet is to get Audacity or something of the like. What you're going to really want is something to attach the 1/4" jacks into your computer, otherwise you will lose sound quality. Another thing, there's tips on this website that you can use to find out how to get 128mb of RAM for the low. Look around

Wavosaur and goldwave are free for pc, I don't know if there is a mac version. Play your mainouts into one of those programs via and audio interface and you'll have your wave. It would benefit you greatly to have MAX ram.
