Akai s2000 User Manual

INTRODUCTION
S2000 Operator’s Manual - Version 1.30 Page 13
If all this business with loading from hard disk and SCSI ID numbers, etc., sounds complicated,
don’t worry because it is all explained in much greater detail in the section that deals with
loading sounds - if you have already used an Akai sampler in the past, you shouldn’t find it too
difficult to get some sounds in from your hard disk or CD-ROM.
However you load sounds, whether it’s from floppy disk, hard disk, cartridge or CD-ROM, just
load them and enjoy playing with your new sampler. Although we suggest you read the
operator’s manual thoroughly, of course, at this stage, you don’t want be bothered with that so
just experiment and get a feel for the S2000. As long as you don’t press the SAVE key and
accidentally overwrite your floppy disk or hard disk volume, you can’t damage your sounds
permanently or come to any harm (you can’t damage a CD-ROM as it’s a read only device). If
you do start messing with the samples and programs and don’t like the results, simply re-load
the sounds in or load another bunch of sounds to play with.
