APPENDIX E /
As you can see, there is a conflict with some output assignments which will need some intervention
(in this case, maybe assign Parts 1, 6 and 8 to outputs 9/10 or maybe give each of those parts their
own outputs now that you have more to play with!).
Something similar would happen with a program:

As you can see, the kick, snares and hi-hats all appear at the correct outputs when loaded into the
S6000. The two cymbals, however, have no individual output routing on the original and so, on the
S6000, these will be assigned “AS MULTI”. What this means is that if the program is not yet
assigned to a multi part, the cymbals will appear at the default outputs 1/2 (thereby conflicting with
the kick and snares). However, if the program is assigned to a part which is routed to, say, outputs
3/4, the cymbals will appear at outputs 3/4 (conflicting with the hi-hats!). Some manual intervention
would required in this case.
However, as it happens, this situation is likely to be rare. Because it is not possible to remove
individual keygroups from the stereo mix outputs on previous generation Akai samplers, the
combination of output assignments shown above is a bit meaningless. For example, if the original
program was setup in this way with some sounds routed to the individual outputs for external
processing and mixing with others intended to be heard via the stereo outs, not only would the
cymbals be appearing at the main stereo outputs but so would the kick, snares, hi-hats and any
other keygroups routed to individual outputs which sort of defeats the object of assigning them to
individual outs in the first place! In most cases, all the keygroups will either come out of their own
individual outs or will not be assigned at all, appearing instead only at the stereo outs. Therefore,
a more likely scenario is as follows:

This translates perfectly when loaded into an S5/6000. Likewise, a multi where each and every
part has its own individual output assignment is going to translate perfectly - it’s only when some
sounds are routed to individual outputs and others are not are you likely to have conflicts. Once
you’ve fixed those on the S6000, save the results.
