Then a few years later Akai developed their incredibly cheap, compared to the Fairlight, range of samplers.

This promted an incredible amount of people and companies trying to sell their own samples every music magazine was smothered with their ad’s each professing to be better than the rest so I created my own range. You can see my ad at the bottom of my “instruments” page.
