Common AKAI S3200 Questions
How do I sync the S3200's sequencer to an external MIDI device?
Set the S3200's MIDI Clock to 'External' in the MIDI menu and ensure your external device is sending MIDI Clock data. You may also need to adjust MIDI ports and channels.
How do I save my current drum kit or multi-sample setup on the S3200?
Press the 'DISK' button, then select 'Save Program' to save the current program (kit/preset) to a floppy disk; remember to name your program.
How do I loop a sample loaded into the S3200?
Go to the 'Sample Edit' page for the desired sample, then adjust the 'Loop Start' and 'Loop End' points; experiment with crossfade looping for smoother transitions.
My S3200 is displaying a 'Memory Full' error, even though I don't think I have that many samples loaded. What can I do?
The 'Memory Full' error can sometimes be caused by fragmented memory; try optimizing by saving all your programs, then re-loading them to consolidate available RAM.
What is Timestretch and Pitchshift on the S3200, and how do I use it?
Timestretch and Pitchshift allow you to independently adjust the duration and pitch of a sample; access these functions in the 'Sample Edit' page and use the data wheel to adjust the parameters (careful with extreme settings, as they affect audio quality).
