In recent years Akai's reigning champ of hardware sampling, the MPC, has become increasingly reliant...
Studio stalwarts Akai have introduced two new Bluetooth wireless controllers designed for untethered performance and...
I have recently bought an Akai S5000 sampler and I am attempting to create samples of some synths I have...
I want to record eight tracks at once into my Akai DPS12 multitracker, which has six analogue inputs and a stereo S/PDIF...
I have some sampled drum patterns that I am trying to loop. I find that they are losing sync over the course of the track. What's going wrong and how do I fix it?

As we saw last month, sampling is really just a form of digital recording, but to use short recordings to emulate real instruments, you soon need to understand new concepts like multisampling, looping, and velocity switching. We explain all...
