Im going to get a sampler in the next week, which is best! a Hard sampler like Akai s3000xl or soft sampler like Halion.
I used to use an Akai S-5000 and you had to use SCSI drives. What sucks is that there's a 1GB limit - you can put in an 8GB drive, but it'll only see 1GB, so you're paying for drive space you're not using. You can use a CD drive, but it also has to be SCSI. Another thing that sucked about the Akai was that it needed EDO SIMM memory, which is kinda expensive as nobody really needs it anymore.Can I put a normal IDE HD on a AKAI sampler as well as a normal CD ROM?
