Hi
I have a problem with my akai s950.
When i trigger it with my MPC i must push a pad two times quickly to hear a sound and when i push the P.B (Playback)-button on the s950 i got the"2 times problem"too.
For example:
I Trigger the s950 from my mpc with the remote-mode at 1/16 but i got 1/8

I switch it to 1/32 and i got 1/16

I think it's 3 options but only one is right:

1.The s950 is broken.

2.I can change it in the menue but i don't know how and need your help.

3.It is normally and i can't switch it( but i got doupt on this option)

Please i need your help or i got depressed in the next time.

Thank you very much.

Sorry for my bad english but i hope you understand what i mean...

i own an s950, but i havent come across this sort of problem before. also, i havent read the entire manual yet (which is only 85 pages). the english translation of this manual has so many typographical errors, that it may actually confuse some people who speak english as a second language.

do you have a manual?
if you do not, i will try to help you find one in deutsch. hopefully it's translated better than the english manual.

anyway, i will try my best to help you or guide you in the right direction.

since akai's U.S. website has changed, there is no more international links available.

incase you don't have a manual, here is the direct link to the english (very badly translated) manual...

i will keep searching for a manual translated to deutsch and i will watch this topic as i try to solve this problem.

Thanks for your help.
I have only the the english manual.
You are right it's not easy to understand for an not perfect speaking english person but i often read it with an translationbook on my side.
i have only found the english version in the net and i wrote the same question in other forums but i think this is the best possibility to get a good ansfer.

the problem with the translation to english is that alot of words are not only mis-spelled, but alot of words are completely translated wrong. this can even confuse people who only speak english.

i located the german website, but i can't find the manual there.

i'm not sure if it's there at all. i can only read a very limited amount of deutsch and i regret not learning it when i was in school where i could have learned it for free.

i'll keep reading what i can find in the manual and the internet. there are some german members here and i'll try to see if they can help with more information.

yeah, i definitly noticed the wording of the english manual. i remember one point just being like WTF, that doesn't make any sense.

Sounds like you got a bit of a strange problem there, never come across it myself with the S950. Sorry if this is patronising, but are you sure that your sample is chopped so that it is starting on (or near) 0? If not, it may be that your first hit is triggering it, but it is not until the second hit that it starts to play because their is silence in front of the sample. You probably would have noticed the double play when you heard the end of the sample twice as it cut off, but thats the only thing I could think of.

I push the P.B button direct after sampling a sound from my MPC to the s950 and I must do it ever twice
I thing its not the chopping problem besause it is the same when I trigger with the keyboard or pads and i have not do any settings in the s950 before I sample with it.

What you mean with WTF

it means what the **** which is an expression of confusion that we use way too much over here

the swear word blocker got in the way of your post.

Pokerface259 - WTF is an acronym for "What The F U C K".

pad-ophiliac - yeah, alot of those words make no sense at all. the s950 manual is the WORST translation i've ever seen. i own quite a bit of classic roland gear and i've come across alot of garbled translation, but this manual really takes the cake. I cant read the damn thing without laughing to myself.

i'm still on the case, trying to figure the problem out. i havent found anything yet, so i'm hoping someone form the dx army forums could help.
