You’re damn right I do!
I got this thing new when I was 16 in 2002. In its first 22 years, the only work it needed done to it was replacing the pad sensors; and that was at the 22 year mark. A year later, I let someone borrow it and it came back to me with the Note Variation slider not working; that I chalk up to negligence on their end.
24 years and it still works perfectly while the people who are implying that I, am people who also lover theirs, are using old technology and should upgrade to something new because its better are having problems with their PC-in-a-box 2 days after they cut the seal on the packaging. Spending more time troubleshooting drivers, figuring out why their USB-C doesn’t work, and frustrated with their touchscreens than they are making music with their expensive boxes.
I’m sure this thing will last another 20 years and my kid will be my age banging out beats on it.
