Kamuela Kid and the Naksinator Getting Funky with it

Posted By Peter on May 27, 2010

YouTube Preview ImageI have the Korg Microsampler synced to the rhythm section of the Akai Mini-Ak here.  Naksinator is filling in drums on the MPC2500 as well.  The samples you hear are actually on the Korg, but the keys on the Mini-Ak are a lot more fun to play so I’m triggering them from the Mini-Ak.  The drum sound you hear triggered with the samples are a sequenced drum from the Akai Mini-Ak.  Each time I trigger the sample it replays the sequence, and it is synced from the tempo on the MicroSampler.  It sounds sick when you do that!  The Mini-Ak normally sells in the store for $499, but there is a $100 end-user rebate  coming up in June.  We will make sure to have some extra Mini-Ak in the store on hand.  The Mini-Ak is the perfect sound companion to an Akai MPC or something like the Korg Microsampler.  I love sampling vinyl, but sometimes you need to fill in the gaps of sound with something else.  You can download the rebate form now: Akai Pro _MiniAK Rebate 6_10.  The rebate starts June 1st.
