Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

My solution  to all this was to borrow the akai floppies, load into S1100, save to zip 100, then load these into the S5000, saving to another differently formatted zip. After they're in wav format you don't need the old format.I think the S3200 reads the S1000 and S900 but I did this a few years ago and I'm no longer 100% sure.The old files sound rough to my ears, hopefully that's what you want them for.I originally started samplers when the EII was starting out, and don't have the developed taste for grungy sampling.

Good luck anyway.

Hi, unless the firmware is rewritten [like it has been done for the Amiga], then it will not work in anything that does not work with PC format 1.44MB disk format, of which the AKAI S series is not. They WILL work in the MPC2000/XL and the S5000 as these use standard format. There is a 720k variant will work with the AKAI MPC60 and MPC3000/LE but I'm afraid that is all they will work on. But you have to buy the specific 720k version, the 1.44MB standard type cannot be modified to work as a 720k version as it has a different sized cache ram chip installed. Some say a jumper can be used to select density, but this does not work. tried and tested.
