Akai XE8 drum expander module .NOT a conventional drum machine,but a percussion/drum module,with expansion slots for adding more sounds via two plug in cards(YES,included!),giving you a total of 48 samples to start out with.
THE XE8 COMES with 16 samples permanently stored onboard in 1MB of ROM. These divide into four bass drums, three snares, three hi-hats, two toms, a crash cymbal, a ride cymbal, handclaps and "percussion".
Further sounds can be accessed by plugging the Akai sample ROM cards into the aforementioned two slots. Each card provides a further 1MB of sample memory, though the number of samples per card varies (up to a maximum of 16).
Loads of 80's type drum sounds that you can "sample' at a tap from the front panel or control via the unit's rear MIDI in/ou/thru jacks.Hardwired AC cable,so no wall warts to contend with
You'd be hard pressed to find a unit in this pristine condition,anywhere.
Comes with original box and packing foam,the two Akai sound cards,manual & blank program sheets.NO rack rash,scratches.no dirty fingerprints,etc.
Performs flawlessly. with ZERO issues.Cleaner than clean.
