Common AKAI X7000 Questions
How do I sync the Akai X7000 to other MIDI devices for sequencing or using an external clock?
Set the 'MIDI Mode' to 'External Clock' on the X7000's MIDI page. Connect a MIDI cable from the external clock source to the X7000's MIDI In port; adjust MIDI channel settings to match your setup.
How do I save my sampled sounds and sequencer patterns on the Akai X7000?
The X7000 saves data to floppy disks. Use the 'Disk' menu to format a disk, save the current memory as a 'Program,' and then save the sequencer pattern separately.
What are the basic steps to sample a sound into the Akai X7000?
Connect your audio source to the input, adjust the input gain using the level knob, select a sample number, and press the 'Record' button when you are ready to begin sampling. Use the record mode to adjust recording preferences like trigger level.
Why is my Akai X7000 not playing any sound, even though it seems to be sampling correctly?
Check the volume levels on both the front panel and the rear outputs, also verify the 'Keyboard Assign' is set correctly in the program settings so that the samples are mapped to the keyboard. Finally, make sure the 'Filter' and 'VCA' settings are not muting the output.
What are the key differences between the Akai X7000 and the Akai S700 (besides the keyboard)?
The X7000 features a built-in keyboard, where as the S700 is a rackmount sampler. Also, while both devices can read the same floppy disks with sounds, they use a different memory addressing scheme so they do not automatically load the same.
