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. https://youtu.be/9zHe0YtuVSA JayScott89(person who made vid) PL3-fast beat 5(Akai xr20 & FLstudio) **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. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/3452605-xr20-beat-production-station-drum-machine-with-12-trigger-pads](https://www.desertcart.us/products/3452605-xr20-beat-production-station-drum-machine-with-12-trigger-pads) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
