Early documentary about Sampling ..

[K9 Kai Niggemann]

Hi Paul, 

that thing looks good. I found one that was sold and advertised for the MPC that cost an arm and about four legs. How much is that thing you are getting?

Let me know how you fare and if they have sorted out the ROM issues they seemed to have with one batch...

awesome!
Kai
