Spent a couple of hours trying to learn the Akai S5000. Getting the basics down. Lazily recorded live to stereo. A couple of edits in post.

Sounds to me you have a nice handle on that Akai. Nice simple track. A bit twee and melancholic at the same time with those synth lines.

Cheers! Going hard for a 1996 vibe on that track, hehe.

Received a ZuluSCSI drive for the S5000 in the mail yesterday, so now I will put it to proper use.
