NEW AKAI IB-S56USB Drop-in replacement

The excellent AKAI S5000 and S6000 samplers were sometimes purchased without the USB communication card. Although this did not hinder the use of these machines, with the recent arrival of several PC or MAC control solutions, it may be worthwhile to upgrade these machines so they can fully take advantage of the new features.

However, the IB-S56USB card has not been manufactured for years. Since then, no solution has been provided for this problem. Today, a new version of this card exists, directly compatible with the original IB-S56USB card. You simply need to insert this new card in its intended slot in the S5000 or S6000.

The card is supplied exactly as shown in these images. You will need to source 2 x 3mm screws/nuts to secure the card to the rear of the machine's rack. The inside of the S5000 / S6000 has sufficient space to fit the bottom screw without any difficulty.
