The underrated King of sampler
so true!
😂😂😂
Last time I was this early, it was prom night. 🤓 Thanks for droppin’ floppy knowledge on us Johan
BROSKIS!! 🤣🤣 feelin' floppy indeed.
Yes, I have this thing, before I had the S612 and then the S01.
Both were a pain in the ass to edit because they were rack modules and always having the panel in front was uncomfortable to edit.
But with this S-20 things were more comfortable and much more in the style of an MPC drum machine. In fact, it is a very interesting mini MPC, it has a very good engine for sampling and although it is scary at first, it is really intuitive to edit.
I love this machine, it is a small wonder from the past where it greatly solved the space problem in the studio.
I still use it with great enthusiasm, and the truth is that for down tempo, trip-hop, it's great.
Great video thankxx
agree 100% ! very advanced little box for it's time, and still does certain stuff better than any MPC I've owned 〰〰〰
Very interesting to see, thanks for sharing!
my pleasure 🍵
Just snagged one. Thanks for the awesome primer. Respect to the aliasing gods
Nice! s20 Definitely a contender in the alias wars 🛠
Both on a hardware and software level the digitakt feels like a reissue of this
agreed.. i feel like the OG akai stuff set the bar for all the newer companies
Have one since today. Played with it for 2 hours. Feels great to play around with this wonderful machine. Love it, even with just the basic features. Will do upgrades soon. Got a gotek card. Have to look around for the simm memory as well. Thanks for the step by step explanation
oh nice! gotta have that extra ram if you have the gotek! happy sampling
@@100PercentBOOTLEG Perfect 🤩
I have to test it very well on my Akai-S20 right away. Mine had all the upgrades.
awesome have fun!
Oh 'the tedious fun of editing this' - That's the joy of sampling! All the best old skool tracks were made this way
100% agree! I do love the time spent on older machines, kind of meditative.
Man I was already going in on a MPC 3000, by the time this came out... Now if I had one of these when I couldn't afford a SP 1200, I would of been a beast on this MF... I was making Pause Beats on Tape & re-recording vocals on em like a 4-8 track!!!🥳🤩🥳 #GreatVidBro...🎥🎬🎥
exactly! the s20 flew under the radar way ahead of it's time 💯💯
i have found this sampler in a dumpster today lol im gonna have fun with this
nice score! gotta love a plentiful dumpster dive -- have fun
In a DUMPSTER?! What a sin. Whoever threw an s20 away better start repenting to the akai gods asap
Recently, I listened to a song I made by the end of the 90's. It had lush orchestral strings on it. They sounded really great, like a big studio soundstage recording , but somehow altered by the passing of time , and it gave the track a very nostalgic feel...And I just couldn't remember how the Hell I had done these strings at the time.
Now I do !
I used my S20, sampled a bunch of string ensemble one-note unisons off some record , and played the strings chromatically on a keyboard, like chords. Then added a lot of reverb :-)
Lord I wish I could use these strings samples again . But then I moved to bigger samplers, more "pro", and I sold the S20 and lost the associated disks.
grrr.
nice! yeah the s20 definitely come alive when paired with a midi keyboard or sequencer. ^^Nice technique btw, I bet it sounded awesome!
Great tutorial man. Thank you
💯〰〰
I saw Akai S20 Sampler How To Basic and I briefly thought this would be a very different kind of video
thanks for watching
2:41 I remember that sound for my ASR 10
I hear that! Love the ASR 10, punchy beast 4 sure
Thanks for this video, I’ve brought this gear about 15 years ago used from eBay and didn’t really know how to use it until now.
oh nice! happy music making 〰〰
hey man, would you have any tips on why my pad 1 is permanently stuck hold mode, and pads 6-8 won’t make a sound unless in edit mode? appreciate your help 🫡
hmm sounds like something internal. are you using the correct power supply? also, if you have a floppy saved that pad 1 was not in hold mode, try loading that up and see if it clears the problem..
I have the Remix88 (blacked S20) but it is screwed up on floppy drive no matter if I switch it out with another one, it consistently displays an ERRD message. I have tried all my floppies in count of 20 disks and tired of this crap, and decided to upgrade it with floppy emulator. Second problem I faced after emulator came in - it was incompatible with my sampler so I had to flash it with custom firmware (which is free and not HxC) and created a hundreds of virtual floppy disks on USB stick. After all of this I finally managed to save and load my projects. This machine is a treasure.
It's always a gamble with these older machines -- congrats for bringing yours back to life!happy beat making!
How do you make beats loop? It seems to loop but then stop on its own. Meaning the sequencer
hmm I honestly don't know off the top, I'd have to try it out -- don't really use the sequencer on the s20
Hey bro! There is no way, unfortunately. This sequencer is more like a sketch midi notepad, almost unusable. You can sequence the machine with any DAW or groovebox (a-la Korg Electribe) tho. Good luck! It's a dope little box!
Ahhh...the look of Elektron Model: series was inspired by.
Akai inspired all the other gear companies that followed!
Where is that vocal sample at 6:52-6:55 from?
I can't recall off the top!
Even though the Akai s20 screen says “r 16” for the 16mb upgrade, it’s actually 17mb. The 16mb upgrade RAM is added to the 1mb standard that it came with factory, making the s20 17mb. 🤓
correct! 🤠
Ever tried saving 17mb to floppy?!
@@annother3350 floppy(s)***😭🙃
@@100PercentBOOTLEG It was like that when I expanded my E-MU ESI-32 -- just before I got a SCSI drive it was 7 floppies per bank!!
@@annother3350 😅 oh the disciplines of yesteryear!
Wish I’d not sold mine! 👊
After many regrets, I've had a rule for the past 10 years or so: NEVER SELL ANYTHING THAT SAMPLES!
