Let’s Play Sounds From a Sampler Library
Now let’s try loading a sampler library (such as the optional L-CDX Series)
into the XV-5080 and playing some sounds.
Playing sampler libraries with the XV-5080 requires a SCSI-type CD-ROM
drive, and commercially available SIMMs (memory modules).
* At least 16 MB (32 MB or more recommended) of additional memory is required.
Installing the SIMM (Memory Module)
Loading commercial sampler libraries into the XV-5080 requires installation
of a SIMM memory module. The XV-5080 is equipped with two slots for
SIMMs, allowing you to expand memory capacity by 128 MB (with two 64-
megabyte SIMMs installed).
SIMMs for use with the XV-5080 must match the following
specifications.
Number of pins: 72
Access time: 60 ns or faster
Access protocol: FPM or EDO
Voltage: 5 V
Capacity: 64 MB/32 MB/16 MB (can be mixed)
* Both parity and non-parity are supported.
SIMM Hight: 36 mm or lower
Cautions When Installing SIMM
• To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be caused
by static electricity, please carefully observe the following whenever you
handle the board.
❍Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object (such as
a water pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity you might have
been carrying has been discharged.
❍When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching
any of the electronic components or connectors.
❍Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put the
board back into it whenever you need to store or transport it.
• Use a Philips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw. If an
unsuitable screwdriver is used, the head of the screw may be stripped.
• To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To tighten
the screws, rotate the screwdriver clockwise.

• Be careful not to cut your hands on the edges of the opening while
removing the cover.
• When adding SIMMs, remove only the specified screws.
The Akai S1000/3000 CD-
ROM sound libraries can
also be loaded. For more on

Each Type of Data” in the
