Hi : )

Is there any good WIN95 software to control & edit AKAI Dr4vr?
I really need it. because DR4vr is very complex machine to use on
front panel.
And I tell you something. You shouldn't buy DR4vr. It sucks.

bye

When I bought my DR4d the manual was full of promises of cubase and
E-magic coming up with pc software for it. After a year I started to
wonder what had happened to it. I phoned Akai, Steinberg and E-magic
-they all passed the buck. When the Dr4vr came out I phoned Akai about
an upgrade , yes there will be one I was told, just leave your name
and number and we'll let you know. 10 months later no call. Do I
need to say more?
