Desperately need help with my akais s5000

I have sd-card reader in my S5000... it works great, it saves samples, plays back samples - this isn't my issue... my issue is this... when I take out the sd card and put in my pc to transfer wave files (samples). I put the sd card back into the s5000... and it plays the samples back very distorted, fast and high pitched? I've tried to find a solution for this but cannot... does the s5000 read a certain format of wav... I've tried 16bit 44 and 48 sample rates which thte manual says it's compatable with... any help would be great

Sounds like an issue with the frequency of the samples. I would check that you are using the right sample rate or not accidentally changing the sample rate.

I'm thinking they might be 24 bit I need 16 bit... I'm not a computer guy and simple way to change the bit rate?\

If you've got a Mac... Fission by rogue amoeba is pretty solid for this purpose.

The reason I like it is that you can use it as a pretty simple audio editor (stop/start position, normalize, etc...), convert a file to a different format pretty easily...

Or... for what I think you want to do, bulk import/exports are pretty manageable to setup a template to load content in any format, and export it out to a specific mono/stereo, frequency, bit depth, etc...

i dont think s5000 uses Wav files. its been a while so i may be mistaken tbh though.


the pitching sounds like a difference in SAMPLNG RATEs though. bit rate wouldnt matter as that correlates to DYNAMICS and not SAMPLING RATE.

i had a similar issue back int he day when taking sample disks from the remix 16 which was I believe a 32k SAMPLE RATE and trying to use them on an mpc2000/xl. played back way too fast iirc.

@fobedafied - the S5000/S6000 read wav files naively.

The S5000/S6000 cannot read 24 bit wav files, he needs to down sample them to 16 bit 44.1khz.
