ASR10 kills the 2kxl. But that's my opinion.

asr10 is a STILL a very good keyboard. But maybe you should go for something more up to date. If money is a factor then get the asr10, it can more than do the job you need.

yea das da situation....money is a big factor...i still need to buy some other things like da 8 outs for my mpc...n a 16track i hope....but i dunno...wut do yall recommend for trackin purposes?

the asr-10 and ANY mpc, makes one hell of a combination... i mean damn, the shyt you can do on the asr alone is worth havin one, but team that up with a mpc and you can make heat forever... be sure to get that SCSI option for the asr-10 and the latest OS, which is 3.53, you won't be sorry...

You about a week too late homie.. I just sold mine to DJDynasty. BTW I did post it in the Gear for Sale forum. Check on craigslist.org and eBay. You can usually find them there. A word of advice though; don't settle for one that's broken/damaged in any way. Alot of people try to sell 'em with stuck/broken buttons and keys, digits missing from the display. Find one in good condition and cop it, even if you have to buy the SCSI shyt separately.

peace,

I'll go ahead and wear the dummy hat

What is the big deal about the Asr-10? Other than the fact that it has keys, what does it have to offer that cannot be achieved on the 2000xl?
