## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I assign my own sounds to this?**
A: Yes you can if your tech savvy & look on YT how others have done it. One thing is recording sounds off the Akai XR20 unit & recording them in a DAW. But most people want to know if it's possible to install new samples into the Akai XR20 unit from some outside source. You need a computer, soundcard, & a DAW such as FL Studio. I found this video where it shows that it's possible for new samples to be programmed into the Akai & played on the pads.

**Q: What are the specs of the AC adapter? Thanks in advance.**
A: The specs are: Input 120V-60Hz 9W. Output 12V=500mA. Negative - Tip/Positive + Sleeve. Adapter model A31250. Brand Sino-American. Hope this helps.John

**Q: What does it comes with ?**
A: AKAI support here! The XR20 comes with a power adapter, quickstart manual, reference manual, and safety & warranty manual. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me directly at mvieira@inmusicbrands.com.

**Q: Will this work with the rc500 boss loopstation? Will it lay a drum pattern into my loops?**
A: Yes absolutely, I've actually had the Tascam SR-18 & Akai XR20 along with the Korg ESX Electribe hooked into the Boss 500 Loopstation. It's been a while but ALL those pieces of equipment should have midi inputs in/thru/out. By using the midi capability it's just another way of hooking things up to work in sync & tandem with each other so everything is tight with the rythm or BPM. Yes definitely works together with good results hope you have as much fun as I did.
