Hi Naoki - it's good to hear from you. I'm sorry about your sampler. I was sorry to hear about Jay dee too - it's a sad thing!

About the samplers - I had an mpc for many years and it was a good machine. These days they are quite cheap second-hand, so maybe that would be a good choice.

The gig at Unit tonight looks good, but some friends and I are going to a jazz bar in Shinjuku, so I won't be able to get there this time. We should see what other shows are coming up though, and make a plan to catch up.

I hope that you enjoy the gig tonight, and that you will have a new machine soon!
Stay in touch - best regards, Trist.
