S1000 SCSI Load problem

S1000 SCSI Load problem

2011-02-23 by neven_marinac

Hello to everyone this is my first post. Anyway i own an S1000, the 

S3000xl and an external SCSI Hard Disk/CD-ROM. My problem is this:

I'm able to load the samples from the external CD-ROM  

to the S1000. I'm able to save those samples back to the external 

hard disk, but when i load them from the hard disk back to the S1000

they're full of errors ( clicks, pops, wrong loop points and all 

sorts of glitches). 

Now for the strange part: My s3000xl loads up those saved files (That 

were saved from the s1000 to the Hard Disk) and plays them back 

correctly. 



I have no idea what's going on. Do I have a faulty cable a faulty 

SCSI card, something else? Please help me. 

Neven Marinac.

If it loads correctly from a CD-ROM and plays w/o issues but doesn´t after saving to a drive and re-load, it might not be the card and the cables as also not the memory cards because it loaded from CD-ROM and played correctly.
I assume CD-ROM drive and harddrive are in the same SCSI chain and you didn´t try loading/saving separately and only one of the drives connected ?
Can be data corrupts while saving.

SCSI ID settings o.k. ?
Termination plug o.k. ?
No double termination happening ? ( remove all termination jumpers from drives internaly and use a passive/active termination plug at the end of the SCSI chain only)
Active terminators have a LED,- so you see if these work or not.

Try the complete same process w/ your 2nd sampler but the same HD to sort out the harddrive being responsible for data corruption.

Try the saving process w/ both samplers and different harddrives in addition and see what happens.

If it happens again w/ the same sampler but different harddrives,- the sampler fails saving correctly.

I had the sam issue years ago w/ a faulty/worn out floppy drive as a storage device.

Hi

It seems like not compatible CD-ROM/drive.

I think this is a CD-ROM drive SPEED/READING problem. Akai S1000 is no longer reading CD's with more than 4x speed. I have personally checked it. 

I have a Toshiba CD-ROM 32x for my Kurzweil K2661,when I was trying to use it with S1000 I had exactly the same problems. 
Yes, You can save samples on HD, but with those copied errors (as seen by S1000 with errors).

Akai S3000 is a newer sampler, which supports faster CD-ROM drives, that's why there is no problem with using faster CD-ROM drive on this machine. So that's why You can read samples from S1000s external hd (samples written using faster, more than 4x, not fully supported CD-ROM drive on S1000) on Your S3000 - they all are understood by S3000, because of more than 4x reading/writting speed support.

I suggest You to buy supported CD-ROM drive - best are those from Toshiba, but remember not faster than 4x!!! 

Personally I use SCSI CD-ROM TOSHIBA XM-5401B - this device is fully working with my S1000HD, I have bought it used in mint condition just for 14 euro here in Europe.

I hope this will help You.

regards

Raphael
