VOICE main core based on a 16-bits CPU NEC D-70236 manages 32 voices polyphony. The stereophonic sampling engine works at 16 bits resolution
DAC is a PCM69AP Burr-Brown and ADC is an ASAHI KASEI AK5359 with 2 fixed recording frequencies: 22,05 kHz | 44,1 kHz
A single sample into the S2000 can be modified with various edit functions:
- trim sample length
- tune sample pitch
- normalize amplitude
- reverse sample
- amplitude fade IN or OUT
- resample bandwidth
- timestretch from 25% to 2000% with two analyze modes: cyclic or intelligent
- loop mode (crossmode, hold and loop tuning)
S2000 SAMPLE HIERARCHY a single or more samples must be placed in a keygroup and once mapped they make a program.
S2000 Performance system handles 16 parts each with individual functions:
- Midi channel assigment
- stereo panning position
- analog out assign (of IB-208P board is fitted)
- semitones transpose
- keyboard zone assign
- note polyphony priority
- monophonic legato triggering and portamento with rate and time modes
- Midi song import (up to 300 kb).
Simple 2-poles resonant digital dynamic low-pass filter. Keyboard track filter at 1 octave range.
2 delayed modulators with variable depth, 4 shapes (triangle, sawtooth, square, random).
- LFO 1 generally acts as a standard vibrato or can be assigned to APM matrix
- LFO 2 is AUX and can be assigned to APM matrix.
2 EGs with available preset templates:
- EG1 amplitude with 4-segments ADSR + 1 Hold time
- EG2 filter ADSR + 4 times
Special KEY SCALING allows to control the amount by which the key position affects the decay and release rates.
APM MATRIX any S2000 modulation source may be routed to virtually any control input:
| SOURCES | DESTINATIONS |
|---|---|
| Modulation wheel CC#1

EG2 LFO 1 depth LFO 1 rate LFO 2 depth LFO 2 rate pitch panning filter cutoff |
MEMORY :
- 255 samples

- sampling 2 Mbytes factory, expandable to 32 Mb using standard 72 pins SIMMs (no parity).
(RIGHT) s2000 board is quite similar to 3000 board - Click for -motherboard Zoom In picture -
- floppy disk drive format 3.5 DD/HD 1440 /720 Kb capacity with auto-boot. Floppies formatted in Akai proprietary file system: S2000 is not directly Ms-DOS compatible.
- HD: It is possible to link a standard zip disk100 mb or some old SCSI HD (max partition 500mb) - too bad s2000 is often incompatible to most CD-ROM player models.
- USB: it is possible to replace old FD with more modern USB reader.
- edit interface
- SCSI compatibility
-limited storage
- cheap now
- flexible synthesis edit
rare flash memory
