MOTM

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
