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!

RAA, THANKS, THAT HELPED ALOT, HOWEVER A DRY SIGNAL IS O/P VIA FX BUSS, DIRECT OUT, WET SIGANL IS VIA O/P 1+2. IF I CHOOSE TO SEND ONE KEYGROUP, OR ONE SOUND TO A EFX MODULE THEN THE SAMPLER IS WORKABLE, AND SOUNDS SUPERB. SO I AM LIMITED TO 4 SOUNDS, IF I WANT TO MAINTAIN SONIC INTEGRITY AT THE DIRECT OUTPUT`S, WHEN USING EFX`S WHICH IS ALL THE TIME, IS THAT CORRECT THINKING ? ALSO, IT SEEMS THAT DOUBLE MONITORING IS OCCURING ON THE EFX BUSS DIRECT OUT, WHEN SENDING ONLY ONE SOUND AND IS FIXED BY DROPPING LEVELS ON THE SEND, ZONE PAGE, AND MULTI, THIS IS AFFECTING SONIC INTEGRITY, OR IS THAT THE WAY THINGS ARE MEANT TO WORK.

K, AKAI IS REALLY A GOOD SAMPLER, WHEN YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT .I GUESS WHEN DEALING WITH TOP OF THE LINE SAMPLERS,IT AINT THE SAMPLER BUT THE ENGINERRING AND IMAGINATION OF THE PERSON USING IT. DIFFERENT FOLKS, DIFFERENT STROKES !!!

well, i heard it from one of the biggest akai dealers in the Uk.... firstly cos the new Akai's have bugs, second cos they say the facilities-to-cost ratio is superb and seriously squashes the akai's... thats all... but personally, i find E-mu's ALWAYS fatter & warmer....

Yeah, akai really should give you more memory and some decent sounds, not just 4 floppy dicks full of semi quality whatever. But the bugs are now pretty minor, & will eventually get worked out. Too bad for akai they did themselves this way though..

EVEN WITH ALL THE FUSTRATION FROM THESE BUGS, I STILL REGARD THE AKAI SOUND(S5K/S6K)TO BE SUPER...... KILLER PUNCH, CLARITY ETC....

Yes, its funny. Some call the warm sound of the Emus too muddy, and some call the bright clear sound of the Akais too cold or dry. Its just the way you look at it. Some prefer it that way, others the other way around.

I hope that the OS 1.3 will have these,,1- Option to Sort (Samples-Programs-Multis) Ascending or
Descending by Name or Date and Time. 2- Faster up/down, Select
-Scroll. (Too slow). 3- Option to turn off the LFO2 sync. (Stop the
flashing! still receives MIDI events). 4- Correct the MIDI clock LFO2
sync timing. (Still slightly off beat). 5- Option to select and view the
Loop (End<>Start) in the Main (Large) waveform display. 6- Ability to
load and play MIDI Files. (16 track sequencer would be helpful).
