Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

HI all.

I have been a lucky owner of this monster keyboard S1000KB.
Photos vill follow...
Until now I've only worked with emu samplers.

Can anyone help me how to find the CD ROM drive on the sampler and load banks from Akai CD ROM s?

friendly AKAI greetings.

      If you need a drive I may still have a couple laying around. Ever since I started using Reason a few years ago
My S1000 has been collecting dust.

The Akai S-1xxx series samplers are picky on CD-ROMs.

Try to find a used SCSI CD-ROM w/ 2x or 4x speed.

Old Apple and TEAC work.



I´ve just set up an old 19" Synthax Syndrive and a Kronauer Pro Rack
Series 19" drive w/ CD-ROM & 1GB harddrive formatted to 520meg.

Both work like a charme now.

In the Kronauer I used a old Apple drive w/ a caddy.



I hope to get my Fujitsu MOD, which uses 230 and 640meg media, to run
w/ my Akai S-1000/1100 too.

Thank You all for responding.

I have the CD ROM drive, but can not quite navigate the AKAI's menu.
Should I be able to see more hard drives in the disc menu?
Is there a similar function as on emu samplers called  "mount" drives?
Has been successfully format two hard drives. But every time I turn off the AKAI, can not remember the external hard disk ID.
Therefore it must have a floppy in the tail.

Sincerely, Laszlo

Hi Peter

I have the S1000 manual but are unsure whether it is 100% accurate to keyboard version.
I do not think that that says something about how to connect a CD ROM drive.
Just started to clean the sampler inside. Checking the version number afterwards but I think that it is 4.3.

Regards Laszlo

Hello again

Yes it is expanded with SCSI and digital I O module.
Dnfortunately can not find the AKAI IB-103 SCSI interface board manual.
Is there anyone who is in with it?

My CD ROM is from toshiba model:5301B, and it works with all my other samplers.

Unfortunately, work calls so I can only continue my AKAI story later tonight.
