The Version V2.10 of the S5000/6000 Operating System introduces some new functions and
improvements as well as fixing some bugs reported.

O/S UPDATE
NOTE 1: V2.10 is required to successfully use ak.Sys V1.50.
NOTE 2: ak.Sys V1.00 should not be used with V2.10 of the S5000/6000 Operating System. If
you have ak.Sys, you should upgrade it to V1.50 when you upgrade your sampler to V2.10.
IMPROVEMENTS TO DATA SORTING
Data in the sampler can now be sorted/viewed alphabetically.
Prior to V2.10, data appeared in the order it existed in memory . However, in V2.10, you can optionally
select that data is sorted (shown) alphabetically using the LIST SORTING function available in
UTILITIES/PREFERENCES/F12:
With this switched ON, data in the sampler’s memory and MULTI/PROGRAM/SAMPLE lists are
automatically sorted in alphabetical order whenever items are created/copied/renamed.
One big benefit of this is that when using off-line sample editing process and selecting OVERWRITE,
the processed version will remain in the same position in memory (otherwise, the new processed
sample would be added to the end of the data list).
*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
If you start off with LIST SORTING disabled (i.e. switched OFF) and then you enable LIST
SORTING (i.e. you switch it on), it is not possible to then disable LIST SORTING and have the
data revert to its previous sorting status.
Also, should you disable LIST SORTING after having enabled it and then record/load/create
new items, they will be added to the end of data/lists. However, the data will be sorted
alphabetically, when you re-enable LIST SORTING after this.
IMPROVEMENTS TO ROLAND SOUND LIBRARY COMPATIBILITY
It is now possible to display/load individual patches (i.e. S5000/6000 programs) in a Roland folder .
NOTE: It is not possible to see the samples associated with the programs but if you load a
patch/program with its samples and save it back in the S5000/6000’s ‘native’ format, the samples
will then be shown.
IMPROVEMENTS TO EMU SOUND LIBRARY COMPATIBILITY
EMU “Soundsprint” folders can now be seen in version 2.10.

IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SMF PLAYER
The T empo Mode and Manual T empo are now stored for each song. This means that you can have
songs at different manual tempos, and different songs in MANUAL or FILE tempo mode, and the
settings will change as each song is selected.
Also, SETLISTS can now be deleted in the SONG LIST page on F12.
BUG FIXES
Some bugs have also been fixed in V2.10. These include (amongst others):
• Fixed bug where the last 1 second of a sample would not be affected by modulation controllers
(LFO, modwheel, etc.) in the program.
• Fixed the SCSI problem that disabled the access to the hard drives, after installing the V2.0
update, when there is another Akai sampler S3000 V2.00 running at the end of the SCSI chain.
• Fixed the problem when Standard MIDI files with long filename are used.
• Fixed the problem of phase coherency getting lost between zones when pitchbend or modulation
is used. For example, when using older Akai -L/-R in separate zones or when layering stereo
.wavs in separate zones, whilst phase coherency is ok at note-on, it is lost if pitchbend and/or
other modulation is used.
• Fixed the problem of KEYGROUP CROSSF ADE in certain programs being ignored when loading
sounds using LOAD FOLDER (this does not happen when loading programs individually).
• If a virtual sample is assigned to a program with a long release in the AMP ENV and either the
Play mode in EDIT SAMPLE was set to “Play -> Retrig” or the Playback type in the keygroup
zone was set to “Ply->Rtrg”, the sample playback would skip in the release phase when the
second note-on was received. This is fixed in V2.10.
OTHER CHANGES
Many other changes have taken place to enhance and improve the performance and functionality
of ak.Sys with the S5000/6000.
