well,
I am really glad to hear these revues, I was really close to
getting Moog Modular V, but after reading all these posts I think I
will save myself from the headache. Like I don't have enough problems
with OSX and Logic Audio 6.1 and I don't want to even want to go
into using OSX with Akai SYS... LOL. anyone want to buy an Akai
s5000?
thanks
Howard
