ITS SO FULL OF FEATURES YOU ARE A RETARD IF YOU DON'T OWN ONE seriously everything's here, its only 128 megs but they are so cheap right now you can get a second one, I actually use one for drums and a second one for other instruments

$ 1000

UTILIZATION

Lots of folks say its too hard too learn but actually I found it was VERY easy and intuitive plus compared to previous Yamaha stuff its a picnic ... the only gripe i have is that Yamaha no longer supports it

I love this thing, Yamaha equipment is very well built, never had a problem with it

SOUNDS

SOUNDS

24 bit DA 20 bit AD, sound quality is the best I've heard in this kind of sampler, definitely smokes older akais. LOTS of headroom and a HOT output, ultra FAST envelopes, TIGHT timing, good enough EFX, RESAMPLING thru FX, etc. full of cool and useful features too many to list here, great sounding filters and you can even burn your own CD's only donwside ? slow loading times, install an internal hard drive and you get around that

OVERALL OPINION

I LOVE THE A5000 ... if you hate software bullshit the A5000 will deliver the goods, no doubt about that hope this review helps! yer pal MusickMan

Bases having the characteristics Adi t dcrites, I will focus on the main points of the machine.

USE

First of surroundings, be aware that if you intend to transfer many samples it is better to have a PC with a SCSI connection.
Ditto for the edition, the knobs on the bcannes ragissent wrong, and quickly become a hell for the edition, fortunately, an app like Bzone allows the Entire edition pc via connection, noon.
We can resample with this sampler, nammoins polyphony limits 4 sounds at this operation.
Loading instruments are rather slow, it just zip or an internal hard drive.
All the effects are insert (not in volume rglage send as a mixer, but there indpendants 6).

The A5000 supports akai samples, but not the programs in their totality.
the A5000 possde a sequencer to play .mid, on the other hand you can not edit the sequences as on an emu for example.
expect the buggs if you use load performance ...

Polyphony 32 voices.
4 outputs + 2 num.
36 meg base.
6 effect bus containing 96 effects all adjustable as standard.
We can install a DD, my config included a zip 250 in the purchase.
The only downside to read CDS Yamaha (9 in total with super sound), we must invest in a reader / writer external SCSI.

UTILIZATION

The manual is quite consquent and well done.
The config is the options are so vast (it's almost a complete prod tool) it takes a little time,
Although the menus are clear enough.
The edition is quite easy.

SOUNDS

Converters transparent.
Apart from the compression Yamaha which I'm not a fan, the effects and filters are effective trs, gaffe to pregnant ;-))

The dynamics is respected, each output is adjustable.

OVERALL OPINION

4 years and two albums, many people think I'm all into the studio when I made almost everything
with the A5000, with a small squence noon.
Be aware that filters can be activated by any of paramtre sequencer such as the volume for example.
J'apprcie neutrality sounds, dynamics, filters, spares ten outputs (only options purchased), the CD provided,
multi effect and the fact that it is a small studio alone.
I do not like faade in pots, but seems you can change them.
Excellent price quality ratio compared with the Akai version trslgres standards are.
I would do this choice, although today my musical direction does not require me to have more than a tool as powerful and complete.
