Overview
The Akai S5000 represents the evolution of a new species of sampler. The unique user interface and its intuitive use of icons, graphics, pop-up windows, and drag-down menus makes navigation quick and easy.
Evolution of a New Species
Extensive filtering functions offer 26 types of resonant 4-pole and 2-pole lowpass, bandpass, and highpass filters, and many more.
18-bit A-D converters with 64 x oversampling 5th order Delta Sigma.
20-bit D-A converters with 128 x oversampling Delta Sigma on all outputs.
Stereo, phase coherent time-stretch algorithms from Akai's own powerful DD1500 DAW allow pitch shifting and tempo matching.
3-band digital off-line EQ with variable gain, frequency, and Q for each band.
'Quickload' allows you to load sounds directly into parts for quick and easy assembly of complex multitimbral setups.
'Virtual Sampling' functions allows playback of long samples direct from disk.
64- or 128-voice polyphony allows complex multi-timbral operation and layering.
The DOS disk format and .wav sample format allows you to hook your sampler's disk drive directly to a PC for easy access to unlimited sounds.
The outputs can be configured as stereo pairs, individual mono outputs, or any combination.
