Re: [xl7] another sampler/sequnecer (almost OT)

2011-01-14 by Szőnyi András

I've just called the guy, who's selling it, and he said he may want to 
keep it, which I don't really mind now because ~yesterday clavia has 
announced they release Nord Stage 2 with sampler functionalties.
I have a Stage Classic, so I will spend my saving to that upgrade...
(I know it's not the same as an Ensoniq sampler, if I could afford,
I would buy both of them.)

Meanwhile an other ASR-X PRO appeared on the same Hungarian 
instrument-forum (http://www.absolute.hu/apro/apro.php?type=1&sel=1),
the price is 80.000 HUF. (http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi?Amount=80000&From=HUF&To=USD)

If anyone interested, I'll try to help in communication with the seller, 
nerogalaxy@.... (I tried to call him too, but he didn't pick it up.)
