I've only used this unit a few times and stopped using it since I got my Pro Tools system, and I'm trying to sell it. It's still in very good condition.
Another reason I'm trying to get rid of it is because it doesn't really work well on a Mac, due to the limitations set.
I bought it for RM1600, and will sell for RM1000. Price is negotiable.
I need to sell this unit before I leave for America end of September.
Interested buyers please reply to this thread and we can sort things out.
Here are the specs :
