Published on 07/27/11 at 02:44Mine I bought it with all options imaginable, he has 128 voice polyphony, 256 MB RAM, 16 separate outputs, 26 filter types with resonance, LFO, each consisting of two forms of 9 waves, a multi-effects offer a range of effects all the more cool than others, and an interface Adat. 4 years and it is equipped with an internal hard drive. It also has a USB interface, and through this jack is connected directly to my computer. It operates and all the sounds that are stored together with all the sounds and programs that are stored on their hard drive.
I agree, it's a little "gas plant" but it works perfectly, also thank you to the maintenance technicians at Music-vitamins have on the way my S 5000.
UTILIZATION
Using this sample is very user friendly and simple, in fact, I'm a big fan of their product and their samplers in particular. I worked on other brands: Yamaha, the Roland, and E-mu and many models from Akai are (by far) the most convenient to use. All important functions fall immediately to hand. They are designed as instruments of music unlike some virtual sampler designed by computer probably very talented in their field, but that probably answers that await clarification by a luminous flux and purifying their minds oh so distressed by obscure questions must haunt their nights: what is a musician? And what can it serve?
To be more serious (but I mean it), that S 5000 is a device tremendously creative and full hyper-easy to use and takes yet another dimension when you know read and write music.
SOUNDS
It's a sampler, then the qualities or defects will be more by you or sound samples used. If they are not successful this sample, it will unfortunately no miracle.
OVERALL OPINION
I still remember the head that the seller did when I walked into his shop one morning in July 1999, and I told him "Hello .. .. I come to buy a sampler Akai S 5000 with all the options that come with it .. "It was probably not used one hand to a young girl like me come into his store, and also to come across a client as determined as I am. Well yes, you may have noticed, even if I told you not said, (and to shorten the speech materially useless and finally back to the fact) it is really always the super sampler! Simple practice, no laborious step only comes between you and your ideas. Since he was joined by his little brother, the XL 3000 S it a useful supplement.
Of course virtual samplers are more complete and more powerful, but adequate to work in a simple and above all a way as serene? Are you more sensitive to the essential gadgets, which is the music? Or if like me, you blithely mix a bunch of old keyboards and acoustic pianos, computers are there you can return their work without the latency delay of one worthy of the SNCF train entering a station? It's up to you.
Today it is no longer the center of my installation as it could be old and when he sat proudly in my tiny Paris studio. But it always brings me much pleasure and satisfaction. And all the sounds that I have worked and shaped it, only he is able to reproduce exactly.
