i have the .pdf manual found on the net if you want.
how you will use the s-900? with a midi keyboard or an SP(303,404,505,606)to trigger his samples?

the s900 uses floppy disks yeah, and the manual can be downloaded from the akai website.

I have found the the s950's manual is much easier to follow.
have fun with it.

thanx
i have one akai remix 16 (from 1996) it works on 16 bit, is still ok but a little ram, but it sounds good.
a little question: how much "time" exactly could you save in an 2hd floppy disc?
cheers

on a 2HD floppy, im guessing about 5 minutes? depends on the resolution and sample rate etc.
