I bought mine from Radio Shack in 1984! Except for having to clean that nasty decaying foam out of it I have had no problems. It still works as good as it did when I bought it and I have used it over the years in making several cd's. Of course I have to warm it up for a couple of hours so it will stay in tune, just like most of the vintage gear from that age. It is one of my prized instruments that makes sounds you just can't get out of today's equipment. I got an MG-1 the hard way. I bought mine from Radio Shack in 1984!

The only way I know of to get samples into the X7000 is via the disk drive with 2.8" Quick Disks. I think your best bet is going to be watching ebay and Craigslist for someone that's selling their collection, or offering to make copies. Also, I'll bet there's a forum somewhere that has trades or copies available. Maybe someone has even figured out how to interface a computer and/or a standard hard drive. Please let me know if you find something like this that I can share with the community here. Hey there Wolly!

My IT career required me to begin travelling alot as well as putting in a lot of hours. My interest in music has recently been renewed and I found this covered in a corner of my old music room. I am now trying to figure out if I can load samples to it from a PC and where do I get the samples. Does anyone know? I have checked the internet but have not been able to come up with anything. I don't want to really sample any sounds myself ... I don't think I have the know how or patience for that anymore. Does anyone know where I can find some samples for my mint Akai X7000 or is it useless to me now? I have emailed Akai but have had no reply. Thanks!
