Common AKAI S700 Questions
How do I sync the S700 to an external sequencer or drum machine via MIDI?
Set the S700's MIDI Clock parameter to 'External' and configure the external device to send MIDI Clock. Ensure the S700's MIDI receive channel matches the transmit channel of the external device.
How do I save my edited sounds (presets) on the Akai S700?
You must save your sound settings to a Quick Disk using the 'Save' function in the S700's menu; edited sounds are not automatically saved and will be lost when powered off without saving to a disk.
How do I trigger a sample on the S700?
Connect a MIDI keyboard or controller to the S700's MIDI IN port, select the desired sample slot, and play the corresponding MIDI note; the sample will then play (adjust the root note for the correct pitch).
My S700 is displaying a 'Disk Error' message. What should I do?
Try using a different Quick Disk, ensure the disk is formatted correctly for the S700, or clean the disk drive heads with a head cleaning kit; a faulty drive might require repair.
How does the S700's auto-loop function work, and how do I best use it for creating seamless loops?
The auto-loop function automatically attempts to create a loop point within your sample; carefully adjust the loop start and end points after the auto-loop to minimize clicks and ensure a smooth transition.
