Akai S2000 glitch??
Jeff Gruen
I bought an S2000 yesterday, and I'm having a minor glitch I think.
First of all, I have never been able to get the 'test tone' to work. It's
always just dead air.
Secondly, when I load the sounds on the supplied sample library, I can't
get program #'s 5,6,9 & 10 to sound from single mode. In sample mode, I
can hear all the samples OK, it's just that the above program slots won't
sound from single mode. I have no problems with the other program #'s as
near as I can tell.
When I was working on loading the S2000 up with samples of my own
yesterday, I found that programs 5 & 6 wouldn't work for me then either (I
haven't got to 9 & 10 yet).
Does this sound @ all familiar to anyone?
My system software is version 1.3. My guess is that I'm having some sort
of software glitch. If your S2000 works, what is your system software
version?
Thank you very much for your time.

problem my guess is there is a bug in version 1.3. When I got mine it
was shipped with v1.02 or something and I got 1.3 from the guy in the
shop. Loading these samples in v1.3 it has the same problems you
describe. 1.02 is fine!! It's a bit of a pain really because v1.02
does not handle the FX board which I'm about to get.!!

Those patches dont work because they came from the S3000
library, and contain effect information that you can't
access without the optional 16bit effect card
(not available yet). So, don't sweat it, they are
not really "supposed" to work.
Although, you can kinda hear a couple of them
(organ) if you play a note on your midi controller
while in that patch and hold the note down while you
progress up to the next bank.
Not very usefull, however.......

Excellent. I'm so glad that my suspicions are confirmed. Now I don't
have to go through the hassle of returning it via UPS mail. I'm going to
email AKAI about this today. I wonder what the chances are of Akai
sending me version 1.02 while I wait for a fix.
I hope they read their email & fix it before you pick up your FX board.
Good luck.

user. It might help someone else if they happen to be having trouble with
system 1.3.
Good luck.

I haven't run into this yet on my system, and nobody else has mensioned it
to me either. I checked all the SINGLE-mode parameters for the offensive
programs, and there seems to be nothing that would force them to be
silent.
I did try loading the troublesom programs individually and then RENUM'ing
them so that the were not 5, 6, 9, or 10, and I was able to hear them.
Thanks for that suggestion. I can always use this as a way around the
bug.
>My system is v 1.3 too,
I've gotten feedback from about 5 other users, and you and I are the only
ones having trouble with programs 5, 6, 9, & 10. They all are using
System V1.3 as well. They all say that it's a good idea to use the RENUM
command liberally- it seems to solve just about everybody's problems.
Unfortunatly, it has has not solved my problem. When I load the supplied
sample disk and immediatly do a RENUM, nothing seems to change.

... I've got exactly the same problem with the programs 5,6,9, and 10. They
don't sound from single mode, but they do from multi mode, don't they?

Problems with my own singles occured too, but I didn't thought of looking if it
was related to the program number.
|> Does this sound @ all familiar to anyone?

The answer is now obvious... I've got another problem : when I load an entire
volume from my syquest, some global parameters are changed : output level is
set to -18db and master tune is set to -9 semi -50 cent. If I load separately
all the content of the volume, no trouble occurs.
Did somebody encounter the same bug ?

Resampling : you specify any bandwidth you want (<Fs/2) and your sound is
resampled at the corresponding frequency. Useful if you lack memory. I don't
(18Mo).
I don't think previous versions features this.
Apart from resampling and many bugs, I don't know.

well, i know - fiddle with the parameters and you hear 'em.
but that doesn't really answer my question you are quoting...

Minor glitch? You're a fucking idiot. Why don't you fucking throw the
piece of shit in the trash. We don't need fucking trash like you
clogging up our arteries.
Fuck off.

You're "glitch" is that you bought an S2000.

As I understand it, the effects card for the S2000 / S3000XL / S3200XL
is different from the original S3000 effects. I don't think they are
compatible. Therefore, the new machines won't be able to use effect
info from S3000 sound libraries.
But I'm not 100% sure here.

Jeff Gruen
you're just joking- but you should consider that you've really hurt my
feelings here. It's scary enough for me to post inqueries to public
newsgroups without people like you intimidating me. You are a mean
person, and I hope I never hear from you again.
You make me want to write a really negative-sounding song.

No, this would appear to be a rude & unpleasant type with an attitude
problem,
Now,where were we.....?
Yes the s2000 has a small lcd readout, somewhat annoying operating
system etc & the ahem, *free* software isn't all it could be,but hey
how much did it cost?
& how does it sound?
compare.

I've just purchased an S2000 and have run into the same problem that
you report. I have OS v1.3 too.
I have found that if I RENUM just program 5 to be program 16 or higher and
leave program 5 empty then programs 6, 9 and 10 magically reappear.
This is certainly an OS bug. Here's hoping we get an update soon.

You meant, "Fuck You!"
In regards to all the fucking Joshua has mentioned (or implied):
As far as I'm concearned, you can both fuck in any illumionation level,
wherever, however, and with whomever you like, assuming the concent of all
parties involved. But your personal lives are of no interest to me. Nor is
this purile spat.
**Jeff; First of all (I'm sure you were unaware, and therefore absolved or
this misdemenor) keep personal discussions like this OFF the newsgroup;
"reply to author" rather than "reply". You're right; this person is an
asshole, unworthy of the air he breathes and thusly fouls. People like
this are ignorant, unevolved, worthless, and hopeless. He's beyond
redemption or reform. You may be a bit naieve, but you're better natured.
In my opinion, you are his superior regarding character. . .
**Josua; I admit it. This person has some learning to do--though it is
insignifigant when compared to what you must learn. I don't like your kind
of people. You form fanatic religious groups, militias, terrorist
organisartions, and hate groups. I think you are worthless. You aren't
worthy of the time I'm spending to write this. Jeff, however, is. He is
willing to learn. He's open. He's also probably intrinsically more
considersate than most people on the 'net. He also happens to be
inexperienced. Oh well. People like him are tolerated. Fucked up fascist
hypocrites like yourself, who do not understand or practice patience in
any facet of their lives, are only detrimental to this world and
ultimately themselves. I hope you insult someone more powerful than
yourself and get hurt badly. I'd feel safer after knowing you to be
neutralised, or neutered. Either way.
P.S. Why should fuck be derrogitory? Shit I can understand. And I know
the threat of STD's is serious, but that isn't relevant to the word's
deffinition. I mean, people usually consider a fuck a _good_ thing,
providing it doesn't endenger a medical, interpersonal, or social problem.
I'm tired of hearing people telling each other they mutually hope other
people fuck them--does "fuck you" seem as meaningless to anyone else out
there as it does to me? Equally meaningless, "fuck off" fosters a
question; "fuck off what?" How does one "fuck off" anything, except for
whatever happens to be beneath a given group (usually couple, but hey,
there's no accounting for some people's tastes or libidos) at the time. By
the way, love is not sex, and this isn't rude. This may be inappropriate,
ridiculous, maybe even irritating, but it's not rude. I've hurt no one,
asside from someone who asked for such treatment; he demanded it, and
therefore is responsible for it. And it is sincere. Why do people fuss
over inconsiquential shit?
Just think. . . or let this time be squandered. It is your option
***Q: What's up?***
***A: Damned if I know.***

Nothing excuses your post.
I'm not above using colorful language when it's clear that its the
best word for the job; and flaming is permissible, if it's obvious
the person deserved it, you're making a point with your flame,
and you don't get anywhere near the crudeness you displayed.
Cripes man, just read the other hundreds of posts flying by in this
group -- you see anyone else reacting like you, to anyone, for
any reason?
