but that shit is not easy to use without a manual. so far i have recorded a sound and played it back with a midi controller.
anyone have experience with this stuff, what are my possibilites other than 12bit madness?

You can be boards of canada? 
This is most definitely a djugel or mlbot question.

unforunately there's not much else you can do.
but on the upside it's 12-bit!

the key to it is the page buissness .. jut scrolling down though each aspect of the sampler will give you everything ..
there is alot you can do though .. pads are jut where its at on this thing .. and with a few differnt samples mapped acro the keyboard on a few differnt programs you can do crazy stuff .. .
but . try under the program button to set a nice slow attak and release .. then you know ajust th filter down nnice and low .. then you have all sorts of options as to how it reacts to velocity ,
also .. for long pads, use the looping feature . it can reall mak some crazy synth sounds that with a bit of vibrato and filtering will be totaly unrecognisable compard to the original .. release of corse makes things smooth .
but beyond the key mapping mltiple samlpes, layering and things like that .. just scrolling down through the pages and adjusting the more snth like features will get you into some crzy sounds very quickly

thanks colin, thats helped a lot. i bought it for £60! bargain. only trouble is i don't have the right cable to amp it up, and connecting my headphones straight into the mix output doesn't give me much volume, and the monitor pot is either broken or isn't supposed to turn up the mixed output.

hmm .. it usualy has an aceptable volume out of the mix ..
try the looping though .. thats key ... and an and s950 .. time strech? .. it has some cool features beyond the s900 .. but yeah printout the maual
annnd take that shit to like kinkos or staples or office depot or whatever you have and have them bin it .. its good reading.. i used to take that shit to school all the time ... btw the creation of new programs is very strage something about copying sampls or soemthing

should be more seconds than that
my tx16w has 3mb and will do 41 seconds at 50khz
i guess the 2800 is 16bit so uses more memory
everyone says 12bit is good for fat drum sounds though ive never tried that with my tx16w

whats the purpose of a 'system disk', how do i record and load samples, all on the floppy? how would you do it. you want a synth sound to loop and fuck with, you just record in a chord of a pad from cubase or something, and then record back?
i am a true sampler novice

it probably needs the system disk to boot up- my yamaha does- no disk=no sampler

System disk needs to be in floppy drive when you turn on the machine
Then put in another floppy to load/save sounds.
If you have no sounds, then you gotta hook a synth up to your sampler, hit record, play a note, hit stop record.
Then make sure the root note is set up properly (if you played D#4, the sampler wont know this. The C3 key will play back the D#4 note you recorded.) set loops points if necessary.
Hint on sample start times: it might take you a few hundred msec inbetween the time you hit "record" and when you actually make some sound. To remove this dead space from your sample, don't try to set the sample start time while playing C3. Hit C1. That dead space will become detuned dead space (much longer and easier to spot the right sample start time... sesp. important for drum smaples!)
If you are running out of memory, try resampling your long samples up an octave. The actual sample time will decrease in half. Now detune that sample patch by -12. You are losing resolution, but gaining valuable sampler memory space.

thanks ml, that helps a lot. the disk i have might be the system disk but not sure. it reads it for a couple of seconds then lets me use built in tone as an instrument so i assume it is?
can i load .wav files onto a disk and load samples from there? any resources for akai samples on floppy other than ebay?
