The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I plan on using it for both playing back phrases and as a drum module and
playing notes keyed off with my akai ax73.  Yeah i was somewhat worried
about the latency issue.  But I am planning on getting a faily beefy machine
if I go that way.

What are some decent samplers...sequencers...hardware wise

thanks again
Jake
