HI Jersey, thanks for your comment, don’t know what does it conclude in the final sound results ;-)

As a former Akai employee and a beta tester on the MPC series i can definitely confirm that the JJOS guy DOESN’T work for Akai.

isham…I’d think the Linndrum is more MPC / analog groovebox, while the 888 is simple an analog drum machine.

Hi,
I was torn between waiting the linn drum 2 (begining 09 certainly) and the jomox 888. I decided to go for the jomox on the next weeks.
I wonder how the linndrum spec are versus jomox ? some ideas ?

Cynic,

I would love for the Linndrum II’s OS post-shipment development to go open source. However, even the wonderful JJOS (which I use) is not open source. It’s still a lonely person (or persons) who managed to hack and further develop the Akai OS, and then sell it to the general public - some believe this guy actually works for Akai secretly. I would still be interested in paying for OS updates myself, but of course, open sourcing it would be spectacular and largely unheard of for a commercial release such as this.

I can’t wait to try these, especially the analog model, but man, I’m afraid of what the price will be here in Europe :/

Sick…can’t wait for the real thing.

I emailed Roger a few months ago and mentioned the idea of open sourcing the OS, so we could gain the benefits of it, like the JJOS for my beloved MPC1k. He might be swayed if more people do the same.

Hope they end up doing that…

Well, I assume if they have live audio input sampling that one could run the seperate synth outputs and route the back to the audio inputs and sample that way.
