But maybe for Akai sampler initialiszing and arranging means somehting different.
Maybe, who knows and who cares ?
If it works, it works.
That´s true ...On the PC you need a format after partitioning to generate the filesystem.
Does the Akai make this step in arranging?
one step of the "arrange" process is, the user defines the size of the partition(s),- 30-60MB, AKAI looks for the max. size of the drive (510MB or less) and creates as many of these partitions as possible. In addition and for a harddrive incl. the Syquests, the partions will be created as 512 bytes per sector and I think this is the initializing.
The only experience I had with formatting a syquest 88M media was with a Roland S550 sampler. It tooks hours!
That´s why I fomat ext. drives w/ a lod Mac PPC OS 8.6
