Hmm...I don't have that problem...all I know is if I still had a sampler, I
could rock some shit 100 times better than I could now. I hate the quality
of the sounds on the RM1x, that's what defeats me. I this great concept for
a song, but I lose it after an hour because I have to fuck with the sounds
and they never come out how I want them.
