Really nice product. It looks like this applies to those without the drive rack on their S-612. If one has the drive rack they should be able to swap out the QD Drive, launch that into the sun, and install an HxC updated Gotek. Its really nice to see this attention come to all the single shot samplers out there. The 12-bit crappy sound is so nice for some things. I am using my S-700 lots on a new project now for hits and autistic vibe samples. Looking forward to your next Synth Wizards!
