Analogue individual outputs and Digital I/O (Option)
INDIVIDUAL OUTPUTS You may fit the optional output expansion board to give you
eight assignable individual outputs. Programs (or groups of
programs) may be assigned to these outputs for mixing on a
mixing console. Furthermore, individual keygroups may be
assigned to these outputs so that, for example, individual
drums could have a separate channel on the mixer for EQ’ing,
adding effects, etc..
DIGITAL I/O As part of the same option as the individual outputs is the
digital input and output (i/o). This can be used to record
digitally from CD or DAT or any other digital audio source. The
digital output also carries a digital clone of the main stereo
outputs so you may also mixdown digitally from the S2000 to
any digital audio recorder such as DAT or a hard disk
recorder/editor such as the Akai DR4 or DR8 thereby
ensuring the highest quality audio during mixdown. The
digital i/o is also used to back data up to a normal DAT tape.
MAIN STEREO OUTPUT These two jack sockets produce the analogue stereo output.
If you only use the L/MONO output, the output will be in mono
(useful when stereo is not important and you are short of
mixer/amp channels).
NOTE: If you only connect to the “L/MONO” output, the
S2000 will only output the left channel signal whereas earlier
Akai samplers provided a mix of the L/R output at this socket.
SCSI This 25-way connector is used to attach hard disks, CD-ROMs, Magneto Optical (MO)
disks and removable cartridges to the S2000 for data storage
and retrieval. You may also connect the S2000 to a
Macintosh™ computer for use with the editing software that is
bundled with the S2000.
MIDI Your MIDI controller (keyboard, drum pads, EWI, etc.) should be connected to the MIDI
IN. The THRU socket carries a duplicate of the MIDI signal
‘thru’ to other modules or MIDI devices that may be
connected. The OUT is normally only used to transmit MIDI
System Exclusive data to another Akai sampler or to a
computer.
POWER CONNECTION This should be connected to an AC power source.
