Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

I have some problems with s1000pb...

I get an a distorted sound from all outputs .

All kind of source( Floppy or HD ) i tried.


What is the problem?

this unit is not used for long time...

pls help

Hi,

Can you please describe the 'distorted sound' in detail?  

- is it a low frequence 'broom' sound ? (earth connection)
- is it a sound you just recorded? or is it a sample which played
undistorted before? (maybe something in recording?)
- is it a continue distortion, or does it change over time or when you
move the case / knobs (false contact)

Maybe you can send a sound clip so that we can getter a better idea?

Rgds,

Frank

Hi,

- Do you have the problem with all samples ? Try only with samples
from a sample cd , not with samples you recorded yourself!
If its only with your own samples, its a recording problem.

- As far as I know there is a D/A converter for every channel. If it
takes a different sample rate to convert back to analog, it must be a
processor error but that is very unlikely, or perhaps a problem with a
central synchronization circuit.

- The sound as you describe may also be a too high level which cannot
be handled by the input of the output amplifiers for every output.

If you want to have this solved from a distance, its better to provide
this information + plus record what you hear through the outputs. If
none of the members knows a solution, you can send all this info to
akai technical support.

Regards,

Frank

So :

Thats like : Raw wave file loaded with not correct settings in sound
forge.
Signed / Unsigned...

In all outputs, in sample playing method.


its not a bad contact i think, probably analog/digital converting or
something else

can you help?
