ok, im using a s2800 (s3000) but was thinking about an s6000 with effects. Do you really think it is worth the money AND is it really a huge upgrade to be able to use .WAV files off the cd's into the s6000?

thanks to all!

Nope, it's no big upgrade to be able to use wav files, certainly not if you might as well put a scsi card in your pc and transfer the wav files to the akai using something like soundforge or nicewave (which even seems to be free!). Hmmm... I'm not sure it will work with an s2800 though.

If I were you I'd wait at least untill you're absolutely sure the os is stable.
Last thing I heard about the s5000 (friend of mine bought one) was that the latest os (1.21 I think) was 'really rock-stable', but it could take minutes to save even a simple 1mb program to zip. I can't believe akai overlooked this.

After expanding my s5000 to 16 outputs, the sampler is operating fine as long as global effects switch is off. When effects switched on, renegade signals are popping up on channels 13/14/15/16 respective to fx1/fx2/rev1/rev2, when ever a keygroup/program is sent to one of the efx`s modules! To conclude ,efx output(wet) is from o/p 1&2, ok. Dry signal is o/p from designated o/p as chosen i.e ch 3, ok. BUT a renegade signal(dry) is popping up on channel 13 to 16, respective to which efx module the signal was sent too, definetly NOT OK .The more `send` the stronger the renegade signal. Something is very wrong. S6000 in the dealers shop was also doing this. Does anybody know what is going on !!IS it a bug, the efx card, or the motherboard in the sampler, I myself do not have a clue and am starting to regret my choice in sampler.

RAA, I DON'T THINK THAT IS CORRECT, BECAUSE IF I DECIDE TO SEND MULTIPLE KEYGROUPS TO AN EFX MODULE, SO I COULD HAVE DIFFERENT EFX SENDS LEVELS LETS SAY FOR A DRUM PROGRAM, THEN ALL OF THESE OUTPUTS WOULD BE POPPING OUT OF THE DIRECT OUTPUT(dry) which will be overloaded, AND GOOD FOR NOTHING ASWELL AS OUT OF THEIR DESIGNATED OUT VIA KEYGROUP ZONE PAGE. ITS EITHER 12 CHANNELS WITH INTERNAL EFX, OR IT IS 16 CHANNELS WITH NO INTERNAL EFX. TRY IT !AKAI HAS NOT MENTIONED THESE OPTION`S IN THEIR OPERATING MANUAL, NOT EVEN A WORD !!!!

G - actually it should just be the wet fx signal coming from outputs 13-16 - as long as you turn off the direct signal parameter on the fx routing page - check it out.

K - so who says? - do you believe everthing you hear? Why is the emu better?
