Subject: s5000/6000 Users Please!!
Original Message Date: 02-Oct-00 @ 02:18 PM - s5000/6000 Users Please!!
I am in the market for a high end sampler, and would like to know the current state of affairs regarding the s5000/6000 series. What bugs are still lingering? Has anyone used OSv2? Has anyone had the opportunity to test their new ak.sys control software?? Help, I need you experience, everyone!

Greetings Akai citizens.
I'd like to know what some long-time akai
users think is the best of the S series as far
as ease of interface, but still good quality.
I've always used a K2000 for sampling, but I
decided I need another sampler just for
drums. And I know I want an S series.
Which one sounds great, but more
importantly is simple and quick enough to
load hundreds to thousands of drum hits
and not shoot one's self?
Assuming such a thing exists.(and sorry to
hijack this thread, I can't start them for some
reason, I get an error message every time
:P

It just depends the 5/6000 series is user friendly in that you have a row of buttons down the screen on each side.This allows you to access most parameters w/ 2 button pushes and a twist of the dial.The S3000XL is a little harde to use because there is more button pushing goin on.w/ the 5/6000 series you can plug a standard ascII keyboard into the front panel which would allow easy naming of the thousands of drum hits you intend to use.If you were looking for the sampler for drum purposes only I would consider an MPC 2000XL this would give you some pads(16) to beat on.really every machine akai makes is top quality so get the one you like the best.S2000 has a tiny screen which i guess is ok if you don't need to edit the waveform w/o a computer.Even if you buy commercially available samples you still need to process them in your machine for them to sound like the real deal.

hi all,
i bought my s5k when it first came out and as i was upgrading from my trusty s1k it was great.
two years down the line and we have os.2.
this is such blinding software and coupled with the new ak.sys (which all akai s5/6k owners simply MUST have) the creative possibilities are now endless.
i knew akai would come up with the goods in the end.
don't let anyone tell you differently!!
