its still only 32 voice, and has a sequencer resolution of 96ppq. i wonder if the bpm ranges are still the same.

you can buy a new 2.5k for 2 grand (without options)


the 2.5k is being listed at 2 grand. everyone (or should) know that nothing sells for what it's listed at. that's just a suggested price. like the 1k is listed at $1499 but selling for $999 (new) the 4000 is listed at $3599 but selling for $2799 (new).... you see where i'm going with this?

jaem..... i have a question for you....

are you ok? are you lonely? i know you said you have a wife and kids and all but dam, why you got to hate on everything and everyone? i just went through some of your posts and dam near 90% of them have you hating on what the topic/poster is talking about?

there is a guy on here that works for akai saying the 2.5k is a real product and will be on shelves in a couple of months and you still don't believe it? why? i bet when guitar center and sam ash starts to sell them and they're actually in stores, you'll still be saying......I'll be willing to bet it still sounds like a turd...


i'm just curious. no beef and i have nothing against your hatred, i just want to know why?

I stopped asking why a looooooooooooooooong time ago, buddy. As long as it don't directly or indirectly affect you and yours, just keep it movin'. Better things to do, like make beats. 8)
