Originally posted by ******** Hi, I may have just picked up an old YAMAHA A3000v2 sampler. Anyone that has comments that may help me use this other than RTFM, is appreciated, I won't be able to use it until perhaps the 10th or 11th of June, but I'm attempting to gather information and potential sample sources now, since I can.

lol, used to own one of these, before I discovered softsamplers.
2 useful tips:
get an internal harddisk for it (if you can still find one), be sure it is the right connection.
get a scsi connection with your computer so you can send samples from your computer to it, there was a useful program I used to do this, built for this purpose but I can't remember the name (something with tiny wave editor).

The rest is pretty self explaining if you're familiar with synthsamplers. Lots of menus but RTFM for that

Man, I don't want to be a **** or anything... but basically you're going to use this for about a day, then realise you can do 100x more in software in half the time and stop using it.

I wouldn't waste any money on it.

Remember there could be other reasons for using this, such as live performances..

The disk is indeed up to 8gb but you have to make sure it uses the right pins (scsi), and right power supply. I had a wrong one that I had to throw away first.

It connects via scsi to the computer, hotlink wasn't quite the standard back then .
Most adapters will do indeed, but dunno if usb 1.1 is a good idea, anyway they also exist as pci cards (that's what I had).

The beat munger is good on it. Kind of like recycle...
