NOTES REGARDING LOADING OTHER MANUFACTURERS’ SOUND LIBRARY
There are certain restrictions regarding the use of other manufacturer’s sound library.
NOTE: Although all references in this explanation refer to CD-ROM, hard disks that are used
with other manufacturers' samplers may also be used.
• Layered programs using several ‘presets’ or those made using several ‘patches will be
loaded as a single ‘preset’ or ‘patch’ into the S2000. In this case. load all the single
‘elements’ (i.e. presets or patches) and layer them in the MULTI mode.
• If there are more than 128 programs in the volume, the S2000 will ‘wrap’ around’ programs
129 and onwards so that #129 becomes #1, #130 becomes #2, etc.. You can renumber
these on the S2000 if you wish in SINGLE or MULTI using the RNUM or PNUM functions.
• Due to different sound parameter configurations amongst different samples, the S2000
will convert certain program parameters to make them compatible with Akai program
parameters (sample data is not affected). However, this may cause the sound to be slightly
different in the S2000 and may require some ‘tweaking’ to sound the same as the source
sampler .
• You may find with samples that have a short loop that there may be differences in the loop
length. Use FIND or adjust the loop length manually on the S2000.
• The S2000 can only read CD-ROMs/hard disk up to 512Mbytes. CD-ROMs or hard disks
larger than this can be used but any data stored above 512Mbytes will be ignored.
• The S2000 comes supplied with 2Mbytes of RAM as standard. However, some other
manufacturer's sounds require more than this (as do many Akai CD-ROMs, by the way) so
we recommend you expand your memory to allow for this.
• Once loaded into the S2000 and suitably ‘tweaked’ to perfection, it is a good idea to save
such sounds to an Akai formatted disk so that you may load them again as standard Akai
sound files without needing to re-edit them.
It must be said that whilst the S2000 can use sounds made for other manufacturers, the way
these samplers work is different and so you may find that some ‘tweaking’ will be necessary to
optimise the sound for your requirements. However, we hope that the added benefit of having
access to other manufacturers’ sound library outweighs this slight inconvenience. If it’s any
consolation, Akai programs and samples need tweaking when imported into other samplers!
