SETTING UP THE S2000
This short section tells you how to get ‘up and running’ fast. For full details of operation, please
refer to the appropriate section in this manual.
GETTING STARTED - CONNECTIONS
Don’t switch the S2000 on for the moment.
AKAI
MIDI IN
MIDI OUT
L/R OUTPUTS
SCSI
HARD DISK,
CD-ROM,
MO DRIVE, etc..
Connect the MIDI output of your MIDI controller (in this example, an Akai MX1000 master
keyboard) to the MIDI input of the S2000. Connect the L/R audio output to a stereo amplifier
(or use the L/MONO output of the sampler if you only have a mono amp) or to two channels of a
mixer (remembering to pan each channel hard left and right accordingly to take full advantage
of the S2000’s stereo outputs).
Before turning on the sampler, it’s a good idea to turn its volume down or to turn the volume
down on the amplifier or the mixer channels as the power up ‘thump’ could damage sensitive
speakers, especially if the amp is turned up loud.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The S2000 does not have operating system software on EPROM and
the operating system is ‘booted’ from floppy disk when you switch the sampler on. The
OPERATING SYSTEM floppy disk must be in the S2000 when you power up for this.
See APPENDIX 4 for details on the operating system.
With the OPERATING SYSTEM floppy disk in the floppy disk drive, turn on the S2000. You will
see some activity - the disk drive will be whirring away and its LED will be flickering as it boots up
the operating system into the sampler. You will also see a message in the LCD informing you of
what is going on.
After 30 seconds or so, your S2000 is ready for use. Turn the volume up on the sampler,
amplifier or mixer.
Making sure that the MIDI controller is sending data on MIDI channel 1, play a few notes. You
will hear the oh so impressive test tone! Hardly inspiring is it? We want something a bit more
interesting than that.
