Hi everyone.
I got a chance to get the S3000 (not the XL). Been thinking bout that for a while since I lack some sound shaping options in my MPC 3000. Mostly the FX section.
Never had an oportunity to put my hands on the S3000 but believe me: I've went through A LOT of google and forum searches to get just one simple answer for a simple question:
Does S3000 actually have plenty of assignable effects?
I got kind of confused, because
1) on vintygesynth the description says: 50 effects which are already built in.
http://www.vintagesynth.com/akai/s3000.php
2) and on the website below it says: ECHO/CHORUS/PITCH SHIFT/DELAY
http://akai.brothelowner.com/jules/S3000/info.html
I know the sampler has 2 LFO's and 2 envelopes if I understood it correctly. But my main concern is the effects section. What about FLANGER/DISTORTION/REVERB for instance?
Tons of threads and info concern S3200XL or S3000XL. But not many information about S3000. Beasides: I wonder why is that so?
I'd be very very grateful for your feedback. I really couldn't find one and only answer for that and I don't know anybody who uses S3000.
And a bonus question: any of using MPC3000 + S3000 combo? Is it worth a dime?
Cheers!
