Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

On an old Mac with Alchemy editing software you can
transfer via midi or scsi, edit , and create new keygroups
with full control of where the samples get assigned. I
really wish there was a modern day equivalent but for
old-school sampler management it's the bomb. 

I'll usually create my keygroups and programs with Alchemy,
then have the Akai save the completed programs on a zip.
Once on Zip you can make a disk image of it a burn it to an
Akai formated CD which you can then import into a
softsampler or have Translator or CDxtract convert to any
format.
