[image file]
Just a quick little question about h/w.
I have plans to buy the Multi Interface Board for 8 outputs to the Akai S2000 (tired of crappy mixes only with the main stereo out).
And I guess that the outputs on the expansion board are in mono (but I'm not sure).
If so.. Is there a way to send stereo samples through them. So that the 8 mono outputs becomes 4 stereo outputs or something like that?
'caus i've hard to believe that there are eight stereo outputs on this expansion board (it would be just to good to be true).

if you leave it panned center then its stereo (if its truly stereo, that is )

cool bit of gear, worked out how to high-pass on it yet?

It's a nice low budget sampler from scratch but with powerful expansion options. When fully upgraded It can do all the things like the 3000XL etc can do (it's from the same time period as S2000). But the s2k has limits such as 32 voice polyphony and a tiny 2x16 LCD-screen.

basically make an exact copy of your loop or sample and invert that (i use SF for that)- put the original and the inverted copy on the same keygroup (so they trigger at exactly the same time)- you should hear nothing when you press a key as they are cancelling each other out....
put the filter cutoff of the first all the way up and on the second all the way down ( to -50)- you should hear the sample now, you can now use the mod wheel to control the cutoff to get a pseudo high pass effect- works quite well

I've got an S2000 with 8outs and FX board. Its a well sturdy bit of kit, just shame it is so un-user friendly. And also.... transfering to and from a PC using its SCSI is a nightmare. Anyone found anything better than MESA?

or maybe nicewave- but know nothing about that one- http://www.nicey.com/technology/nicewave/
i have loads of s5/s6k programs which i have been converting to mesa files but mesa won't read em- bloody annoying really- mesa is a nice idea but about as stable as a matchstick-eiffel tower...
the s2k great sampler if your willing to get your hands dirty- still will eventually sell for a 5k me thinks......

Seriously, the S6k is so much better than my S2000 I don't know why I didn't switch sooner.
