CDXtract works w/ AKAI, EMU, Kurzweil,
GIGA CD-ROMs and converts these across these formats and to NI
Kontakt and Steinberg Halion.
In addition it converts to SF2 IIRC.
I\ufffdm not sure if the application supports USB and when SCSI support ended during all the upgrade cycles.
I doubt it deals w/ floppy disks, never tried out,- but maybe I should ...
I have a SCSI Zip drive, but no sample data on zip disks, so I didn\ufffdt try that too.
The only sample editor I own dealing w/ a Adaptec SCSI PCI-card in a PC is Steinberg Wavelab 4.01b, which supports EMU E64 via SCSI,- but not the S-1000/3000 samplers.
It deals w/ these over MIDI sample dump standard only which is unusable slow.
Eventually, Extreme Sample Converter (for PC) deals w/ USB and for sure it deals w/ AKAI S-1K / 3K / 5K formats for the import.
Not sure about the export ... google please ...
But it might not deal w/ SCSI.
The old ATARI apps like Soundesigner Universal 1.5 (deals w/ 16Bit samplers format) and probably Sounddesigner 2,- might use SCSI w/ some of the supported samplers but also mainly work w/ MIDI sample dump standard because SCSI interfaces for the ATARI were rare at that time.
Propellerhead Reload loads AKAI disks (also floppys) and WAV into Reason and ReCycle,- but no way back then.
So, for PC, Omniflop might do the trick for AKAI floppy disk format and/or EMXP which deals w/ EMU, DPX-1, Prophet 2K and Ensoniq Mirage and was promised to deal w/ AKAI S-1000 too one day,- so maybe it does now.
I myself, I went the cumbersome way, using old PPC Macs and SCSI drives, doing 1:1 SCSI copys to CD from all kind of SCSI media then used that CD media w/ CDXtract to have a "All EMU" library on larger SCSI drives and converted EMU & AKAI to Kontakt and Halion and did images from AKAI CDs
That worked.

\ufffdI think there was a program called AKAIDISK at one time that allowed the PC to read them.\ufffdYou will probably have to dig for that one. There is another called PC program CDXtract that mightalso work. \ufffdIt reads AKAI CDs.\ufffd

Subject: [akaiS1000S1100Samplers] USB zip drive to create akai s1000 zip disks?
\ufffdIf anyone can offer advice I would really appreciate it!
If I have an SCSI zip drive for my sampler and a USB zip drive for my computer, is there a way to create zip disks for my sampler?
I have the program that can convert wavs and map them out for s1000 use but I don't see how to actually transfer this information to the sampler.
Thanks for any help!
