ALT Long term, you may want to consider up- grading to the 128mb of memory... it opens up a lot more possibilities with longer samples, and how you may approach song construction, but certainly not a require- ment. Similarly, the internal drive upgrade is nice, but getting harder to find. My biggest advice would be to limit how much you eject the CF card, as those pins can bend super easily... even though it is slow, itl be better to copy files over the USB on the 1kas the USB port is much less likely to fail. Good luck and have fun! The 1k with JJOS is great... and certainly worth upgrading to the paid version for v2 or v3 (both are on the same license) if you don't have it already
