This digital recorder is bad “A”! Small and compact, it comes in handy. What is really cool is that you can do sound on sound recording (overdub after overdub) which the MR1 and R-09 cannot do. The package includes two AA batteries and a 2GB SD card. Come check it out!

Two more beats. I used the Korg MicroSampler to chop up some vinyl on both of these beats. The actual drum sequence is coming from the Akai Mini-Ak. I have them midi connected. It is even easier to get a feel for how my beat would sound now. I can chop up a beat and get it rocking like this in less than five minutes…This enables me to comb through my vinyl collection faster and easier than I could have ever imagined before because I have spend little time sequencing and chopping and zero time assigning sounds to pads. The first video is a sample from an Ohta San record “Love Story”. The second is from a Japanese (made in Hawaii) record for children “Kokeshi Shindig”. One day this will all get properly sequenced and recorded, but for now, I am happy to just have the foundation laid out. It is a lot of fun to play it live…The Korg Microsampler is the best thing to ever happen to my beatmaking!

We have these turntables in stock (a pair in the box right now). They sell in the store for $899. It is a killer deal with the $100 rebate (only $799). It has a spinning platter with a nice feel and torque to it. We have this available in both stores to demo. You can download the rebate form here: DNS3700 $100 Rebate Form

We have a clearnace price on this Roland V-Synth XT rack. Tell the sales guy you saw the deal on the website, and get it for $100 below clearance ($1499). It is under full warranty. Ask Tony if you would like to see it in action. It can do some crazy things. Also, if you buy this unit, you can get an additional 15% off the sales price of any midi keyboard we have in stock. Sculpt your own sounds with the
Roland V-Synth XT rack.

I have the Korg Microsampler synced to the rhythm section of the Akai Mini-Ak here. Naksinator is filling in drums on the MPC2500 as well. The samples you hear are actually on the Korg, but the keys on the Mini-Ak are a lot more fun to play so I’m triggering them from the Mini-Ak. The drum sound you hear triggered with the samples are a sequenced drum from the Akai Mini-Ak. Each time I trigger the sample it replays the sequence, and it is synced from the tempo on the MicroSampler. It sounds sick when you do that! The Mini-Ak normally sells in the store for $499, but there is a $100 end-user rebate coming up in June. We will make sure to have some extra Mini-Ak in the store on hand. The Mini-Ak is the perfect sound companion to an Akai MPC or something like the Korg Microsampler. I love sampling vinyl, but sometimes you need to fill in the gaps of sound with something else. You can download the rebate form now: Akai Pro _MiniAK Rebate 6_10. The rebate starts June 1st.
