Eh, the Akai sample format and VSTi are totally different things and concepts… One is a sample format and the other one is a VST software instrument/engine. Granted, some VSTi’s are samplers, but, most are instruments and have got nothing to do with eachother. So, it would be interesting to know EXACTLY what you mean… This reminds me of people asking about the difference between midi and audio/apples and pears/shit and gold.
it’s only a sampler , you load sond and yo meke it like a sound module , but don’t hare an sequencer in it , you cand find old sampler cheap on ebay … (sorry for my english 🙂 )
@castratedcanine its not the sampler. the only sound from them is if there is a SCSI drive reading its a high pitch whine but barely audible. i like how hes sampling duh duh duh dh
You must be kidding right??? I very much doubt he was going to try and write a smash hit with this you tube example. Imagine how boring it would be for us all to sit through him sampling himself 10 times.
did you know you can convert all your VSTi’s to akai format…and use them, instead of relying on your laptop live?? I just bought 1 on ebay for this purpose…even after converting from 24 bit to 16 bit…no loss in quality!!! I used Sound Forge for the dithering…amazing!!
i remember that the akai don’t have fans , or if it had , they must be quite …. the sound in the backgroun its from the computer , and the camera it’s cheap [sorry for my english]
Omit the scsi-drive and have a scsi to USB lead going straight into your computer. No need for noisy sampler-outboard stuff anymore or setting up a chain with a hierarchy… transfer straight from your computer and do all your management there too… and voila… gone is the “noise” of the scsi drives.
I have a Akai S5000 sampler. it can record in up to 16 channels (With upgrade and sufficent memory), it can also play 18 diffrent channels back, it has 8 channel digital inputs or 16 with the digital card upgrade. It can also run from PC via the USB upgrade. It has full editing and mixing/mastering effects. it has 2 set of midi channels, which i use with my keyboard and sequencer (because this does not have built in sequencer(why i dont know). Its a good unit, but i prefer my S4000 and my PC.
no , you need a sampler
you need a audio interface with midi , and a midi keyboard (to play the
instruments from the sampler) ,
so, this is all it doo’s.
try ebay . com

I bet you can make an S5000 sound like a S950 but it wont work the other
way round.

yes , you can control the sampler from the groovebox , and you cand connect
a midi keyboard to play instruments
All that technology to go “Duh!”
i sold this sampler , and i put this video to show that it’s working fine
…
SUPER sampler, and a SUPER FX UNIT too!
so what is the current price of one these go for?
Piss off, tragic, dilettante needledick! Get your facts right,
wankerrrrrrrrrrrr…
OMG…..it’s a SAMPLER, one of the lasts of the Akai line. Try to find
S6000 on youtube, a little bit better machine.
it’s NOT the Akai… mine is as quiet as a mouse.

s5000?
