AKAi MIDI DIGITAL
SAMPLER S612
The Akai MIDI Digital Sampler S612 is an amazingly sophisti-
cated electronic instrument which enables you to record
(sample)
any kind of sound, and reproduce it at any desired
pitch or pitches. The following are only a few examples of the
many sounds that the S612 can sample.
1.
Sounds of acoustic musical instruments (such as pianos,
strings or percussion instruments)
.
2. Sounds of nature (such as sounds made by animals, wind,
wild birds and rain)
.
3.
Human voices, radio, television, CDs, analogue records, me-
chanical noises,
etc.
With the S612, you are able to perform musically with ease
using a wide variety of sound sources (only a few of which are
l isted above). The acoustic instruments can be sampled and
reproduced as realistically as the original
sound.
Existing syn-
thesizers, up to now among the most advanced electronic musi-
cal instruments, are unable to sample and reproduce in this way
.
The S612 offers entirely new and unique ways to express your
musical
creativity.

Features
• Realization of super high quality sound by 12-bit sampling
technology.
• 6-vo ice polyphonic performance is possible in connection
with MIDI keyboards
,
synthesizers, sequencers and many
others.
• Realization of sampling time up to eight seconds.
• A short sampled sound can be continuously played with no
time restrictions and without sounding
awkward.
The S612
contains an advanced scanning mode system with
"looping"
and "alternating" modes.
• The best splicing point for "looping" can be selected instantly
by the automatic splicing system
.
• A splicing point can be selected at any time by switching to
the manual splice mode.
• Because the starting or ending point of the sample can be
selected at any time, it is possible to play the sound after elim-
ination of an undesired portion of the sample. It is also possi-
ble to reproduce the sample in reverse.
• It is possible to overdub samples and accumulate various
sounds
infinitely.
• The S612 is equipped with an L.F.O., which can add vibrato
effects with a delay.
• The S612 is also equipped with continuous variable low-pass
filters for adding a milder touch to
samples.
• 2.8 inch sample disks can be used for data files
.
"Save" and
"load" procedures are extremely
quick.
You can continuously
build your own tone sample library with the specially de-
signed Sampler Disk Drive MD280. (optional)
• Any type of sound can be tuned to a designated pitch by
transposing it by a half
step.
This can also be done by tuning
±100 cent. The sound can then be stored on a
disk.
• The S612 is rack mountable (EIA/2U type) for excellent oper-
ation in the studio as well as at live performances. It can be
handled with ease and offers astonishing performance.
