Akai S612 Front Panel Animator (FPA) Info

There were around 12 of the prototypes of the Front Panel Animator for the Akai S612 designed and built by Dan Wilson at Hideaway Studios; we had a few to sell and the rest are out in the studios of a handful of early adopters including several heavy-weight names from the world of electronic music (modesty prevents us from naming names…).

 

 

We’ll add more info about the mod to this page at some point. For now there are some sound samples below, and some useful links here:
