All user reviews for the Yamaha A3000 V2

64-note polyphony
Very good converter shows what goes ditto
The effects are the highlight of the sampler simply creatif
4 MB expandable to 128 bar by edo 72ns not too hard to find
The connection is complete, 10 analog outputs, an in / out SPDIF, trio noon, analog stereo input
there is software that allows a3kremote bzone and not to touch the sampler, to myself the names are filled up with a get calves

UTILIZATION

The config is simple, I do not get it the guy that the massacre on the forum they should not have the doc, it is possible to define default settings such as the coup adsr any sample load or record will play with these parameters it can be the filter effect of the release ect ... so we sample and direct plays for such a program akai often critical point while possessing a low s3000xl I guarantee the quality of reproduction.
The edition of sounds is a little harder because of sounds different interface but if done quickly, is still worth mieu bzone run at the same time for the name and placement
the manual is super clear and detailed for the person who opens

SOUNDS

Yes, ais the trick is that the most brilliant record and monitor mode on the final sound you hear I mean by that if you put on the frequency of 22khz recording you will hear the sounds in real time to change you listen therefore it seems that will be the 22khz mode beton.le lofi mieu is incredible that the 22khz and 44 is almost as crazy.
effects and filters are hell the person is not contradict me kontakt ouarff at the soft shit.
Demonte dynamics but do not abuse the normalization of samples

OVERALL OPINION

Its been a year and I think bought the A5000 has a double in 3000 is
all but the knob capricious
5 other brands that I have the yamaha does not have to blush for it's unbeatable create the drum kit in 5 / 5, by the way I vsti with the sample and has nothing to do.
I paid 350 euros with 64 MB of RAM then a super DD8 gigas
no problem I would do this purchase and I recommend it to all the creators of sounds

Okay so like that it brings down this machine?
CHARACTERISTICS Lers are excellent apart from the screen 2 lignes.perso I bought for it: it is super clear

UTILIZATION

Rather complex but foisq p ^ ris hand it is far from bon.on rm1x,

SOUNDS

It's going . Cependaznt a roland s 750 sounds better

OVERALL OPINION

For me one of the few sampler which gives a very good aesthetical dj.tres done for dj and other madmen of sound club.c is a pity all the same these bugs and the slow transfer.

LISTED BY MARK HARRIS

64 votes to 16 channels, it can stepfather a little short today, but I think for the intended use of the A3000 is intended is correct.
Remember, this sampler converts 16-bit x16 in A / D and 18-bit 4x D / A. I do not think that we can take the A3000 honntement in default on that. It is a professional machine. As always, this is a matter of personal apprciate.
The effects are especially numerous and Varis. The ingnieurs from Yamaha have managed dvellopper original effects that stick perfectly the spirit of the machine. Whether LO-FI, Beat the change or the combined effects (Wah + Overdrive) you can find anything to express in all directions. The classical effects are also correct in my trs. In the end, the 54 effects are not a poisoned chalice. In addition the default presets provide a good idea to select the effect.
The A3000 comes 2 MB, which should provide just over 11 seconds in Stereo 44.1 kHz. Can be mounted up to 128 MB (32x2, which cancels the 2 MB of factory). The strips are 72-pins/32bits SIMM.
Originally, we find that the triplet and two MIDI outputs Stereo (main + assignable) Jack in 6.35. Ambas a SCSI 50 pin is also proposed as standard.
AIEB1 with the card, life is more beautiful!
It includes:
I / OS / PDIF optical on TOS Link base
I / OS / PDIF coaxial (RCA)
6 assignable outputs desire in Stereo or mono.
There is an editor for gnial SERIES A3K, it is bZone. This shareware dveloppement being a dj trs indpendant is complete. Dveloppeur his wish to go even further will integrate into a single software publisher + transfer samples in SMDI (SCSI transfer), but the State, is bZone dj standard for anyone using the A3000 in home studio with a PC.

UTILIZATION

As often with Yamaha is a complete and really easy to use. It asks a little forcment trvail and patience to take in hand, but compared with the equivalent competition, it's really affordable. In addition, the manuals are clear and complete ... Perfect for all musicians typres! ...

SOUNDS

The converters are excellent!
The Systm triple modular multi-effects in all directions with a range of filters really complte ... FABULOUS!
The sound, as a whole, is really good ... respect and trs

OVERALL OPINION

I used this unit for four years to work alone first, "home studio" and then in a group (rock / electro / trip-hop ...) and especially scne. This is the IDAL! For what it cost me the era (and what it costs today !!!...), is really unbeatable in report / qualitprix. To find a reproach this device?? Heeeuuuuu ........ The Yamaha Service not efficient trs. In case of failure, you have to be patient ... Fortunately, ca never falls down! ... If you hsitez, n'hsitez addition, you will not be of your purchase you equipping of A3000 V2 ...

I save retailers, features of this machine are very complete, at this level nothing to say ....

UTILIZATION

After a certain period of adaptation, are operating is quite well thought ....( outside are more instructions that limit, you lose time with this kind of manual, eg I'm looking for info the time stretch and well you have to look at "P" as "Page", bin so it made sense, "page from time stretch, super index of the manual yamaha !!!!)

Unfortunately after years of road above qq very promptly because of the problems apparetre very disturbing ...

If there was only the slow storage and loading of the machine it would be nothing ... but the paramter memory full "stuck at half does not use the 128 MB machine .... alas ...
I met several times during the transfer scsi problem, program messed up, lost volume registered but can not ... after a day working on it is annoying ....( more SCSI cards and several pc with different OS were tested).
Then imcompatibilité very hard making it difficult to find another one ... especially the series of quantum fireball was not very strong at the time, the fact still hexiste brand or not, it would a sign .....
Several hours of lost jobs on this machine because the backup more than hasad ....
This brief sampler of stress is a super 220 volts .... ...

SOUNDS

The effects are not bad, they "puke" a little, but it goes ....

Heuu by recording 22 against the ring 22 khz khz and 44khz 44khz sounds like, so nothing extraordinnaires ... p

OVERALL OPINION

I have long, and I am increasingly disappointed with this machine since I could compare it to other models in the same period or even earlier ....
The sound is good, but that's all, the reliability of the buttons, and Part scsi make a real shit ... (the best solution for me was to load the sounds from a bank on an akai cd, if not c no point considering the number of bug generated).
I know it's not just my machine kidding, I have advised friends to buy it, I'm sorry for them, my experience was not enough to say whether there were better .... and the conclusion is the same, not reliable ....
Why y'en you it as a sell price and can also see these features, the answer is there ....

2 overall opinion, as are prices for same opportunity as save a little to make a sampler PROFFESSIONNEL TRUE! and reliable ...

For details see below

UTILIZATION

The grip is not obvious but once we understand the operation of the matrix and spotted the little features that make life easier (like the sample is known to be edited by playing the keyboard) it goes fast.
For data management, I use the trio in a3kremote/a3kdisky/wavelab scsi. The config is not necessarily obvious to someone who has never set hands dirty but it works very well once in place.

the manual is very clear, it may seem tedious at first, but it is very comprehensive. editing of sounds is endless ... which is the least we can do on a sampler

SOUNDS

Convertos correct, the effects are not bad too, though somewhat outdated now by the vst.
filters and the dynamics of this bike is so that I turn it on every time I compose sound ... the possibilities are large enough not to turn around in an hour

OVERALL OPINION

Most
- Filters
-Dynamics
The number of parameters-assignable controllers diverse and varied ... it can be quickly from all over the place and that's what good

The -

- Load times and transfer
- Unable to play several programs simultaneously
- Noise when you put into a SCSI disk inside
it'll be a year and a half that I use, I can not get enough, I found a lot of charm but when I have some I paid under a A5000
