bah I went to glue myself .... I give notice now, but I already have an S6000 for some time.
polyphnoie standart expandable to 64 channels with the card has vox64 128 (highly recommended)
effects are also an option with the card EB20, very frankly, but criticized for the way I use it myself very adequate, 4 bus assignable.
connectivity of dream, Dual Port noon (with MIDI menu Supp.), 8 analog out (out to 16) SPDIF / ADAT, ADAT / SPDIF / word clock, it&#39;s heavy, very complete, with analog input front of knob gain.
the convertos seems very good, I have a lot of hard samplers including e-mu, yamaha, roland and clarity at the top is all that is sampled spring nickel pechu little or no staining.
memory expandable to 256 MB (more than enough)
Aksys utility that allows management of a super sampler added to extreme sample converter and you can transfer the sound of your kind vst kontakt / SampleTank above ....
similar to the format soundfont can also put directly into the ram wav with Aksys.


UTILIZATION

the config is very simple and it works very quickly in the sampler has a point that I never used except for Aksys to transfer samples I prefer working on the front of the sampler.
the manual? ch&#39;jsais not I ever ouarfff!
edition of the sounds is either nickel in sample / program or multi.je got matrices per family so I have more than to put the samples in the bike still with the same name then I renamed by akasys the fact that I&#39;m more of its keygroup to put himself in place, I sampled all of my bank into a newt weekend and the combined total and programs.
it&#39;s really a nice machine just below my ultra E4XT it is even more flexible with the Eos, but cons are little delirious and make presets barge with the multiplayer mode, stack programs with different layers, pan , fx, out, and that up to 128, I got an egg with 5 piano sounds multiroutés in all directions and crushed many vst without problem, however I used these for various soft sampled.
we could talk for hours on the debate hard / soft I came back the very hard and have a blast, bye bland soft sounds hard to their success is the fact that they are hackable on the net, nevertheless they are a source of sound consistent basis so .....


SOUNDS

small addition on the option EB20 (FX). I just equip my S5000 I had with the S6000, never really used the internal FX processor running with the release and effects on adat cubase as insert, following a afien a question I decided to really pushed a multitimbral song on using the akai eb20, I must confess that after a somewhat difficult start to the ear I finally set a muti with all the sends it sure is less typical cave (ouarf) that the effects of regular rack program but once it&#39;s not bad at all, has had 4 buses whose first two are composed of several fx1/fx2 combined effects, reverb / modulation / EQ / delay in series on the two buses .. and only rev3/rev4 reverbs.le all easily assignable in the multis there are lots of adjustments between the send level of dry or not and presets are there to do little things made all but once it does it well settled that parsimonious and rings must be vigilant bien.il most often distorted by his progs loudness to settle mode prog / output, especially cd akai Oldest Elsewhere I remake my favorite sounds .. The problem with these bikes is that it&#39;s all pros must therefore settle / set but after its sounds really ...


OVERALL OPINION

I have these bikes for a long time, I have a z8 (recently acquired), an S6000 and a 5000 I bought them because everybody&#39;s selling off and if I loose its worth it, give it to her taf to make a sound bank and transferred all or do not give her terrible I much prefer me to program it myself and slap her but now there are more users want to sound designer from the loop construction kit has the motive, assemblers loop that allows them to make zik a mouse.
Well not I stay with my bikes, my ex WAVESTATION my jd800, my triton rack E4XT ultra emu, Z8, S6000, S5000, alesis s4 addition, korg o1w r, no sounds of the piano for just 1gb Note the crack behind the brooms from the concierge of the conservatory ouarfff! piano sounds I have 8 megabytes of hell and are much better.
Finally I just want to add that very recently I sound files decompiler vst which shall remain nameless to perceive the deception of white 24-bit file that is just the file to swell and the inaudible and layer after transplanting the samples actually weighed about its use 41mo of 526 instead of the soft version, mouarararararfff.
