<p>Don't worry. I jumped on the opportunity like a fat kid on the
truffle shuffle! <br>

<p>After I started learning more about the A3k, it brought back
memories of being a high school kid who only had an Alesis SR-16,
staring at the synths and samplers in Musician's Friend catalog.

</p>
<p>Nostalgia aside, it was a very good time to be alive for sampler
development. You had the A3K, then within a couple years, Akai
S5k, EMU6400, with Roland dropping out to just do the XV-5080. <br>
</p>
<p>Supposedly the A3k's biggest pain was setting loop points because
of the tiny display. I don't think it can be any worse than doing
the same thing on a Model:Samples. (You're not supposed to use it
as a phrase device but knob controls for sample start/end is too
tempting.) <br>

<p>I will gladly help with testing. <br>

there was some great stuff in that archive at
one time, and especially the A-sampler users out
there are going to enjoy having access to some
of the old .a3k files again .. not to mention a
lot of stuff from the very early days of
music-bar/teklab that should bring back a few
fond memories .. stay tuned!<br clear="none">
