AKAI Z4...vise nego odlican sampler!

[DinO74]

Evo nakon prve svirke sa ovom spravicom da kazem i svoje utiske ...(raja nema pojma odakle dolazi zvuk i sta se desava u svirci..sj**ali se svi ) prije par dana postao sam vlasnik ovog Akai samplera. Prvu pomoc oko njega a u vezi MIDI spajanja sa Korg Trinity nisam uspio dobiti nigdje ali eto savladao sam i to i nije neko mudro slovo, mogu vam reci da je ovo i vise od samog samplera jer ima i program i multi (kombinacija programa) kao sto ima vecina workstationa od Korga, Rolanda, Yamahe....ima cak i song play , uglavnom, ovo je masina za nekoga ko ima solidan sint kao sto je Korg Trinity i zeli unjeti puno vise kreativnosti u svoju svirku (mnogo vise nego sto moze LE i TR) ili da ga poveze sa svojim aranzerom. Moj prvi i jedini dojam u vezi Akai Z4 je...ODUSEVLJEN! Moj Z4 ima u sebi HDD od 160 GB i 512 MB RAM-a i takodje svoj efx board (cekam iz USA opciju za 8 OUT).Bez problema cita semplove, programe i kombinacije sa USB stick-a ili externog HDD. Sa njime upravljam iz COMBI modusa na Trinity i mogu istovremeno da korsitim i Korgove i AKAI programe u punoj komociji kako zamislim a i terce koje su napravljene u Trinity...istovremeno da povlacim boje ili sa Akai ili sa Trinity, svejedno (na AKAI mjenjam njegov MULTI koji ima 32 part!).Odusevila me obrada LOOP-a...njegov tempo i pitch mijenja ko od sale bez ikakvog izoblicenja i proces od sjeckanja LOOP-a u Wavelab do gotovog programa ide jako brzo isto tako vazi i za jedan ili vise samplova, Akai ima odlican PC editor i sve je u real-time i jako brzo jer se veze sa PC preko USB.Ovo moje je ukratko sta sve moze da se uradi na ovom sampleru...Evo i njegovih fabrickih karakteristika:
