If 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!

I think there was a program called AKAIDISK at one time that allowed the PC to read them. You will probably have to dig for that one. There is another called PC program CDXtract that might also work. It reads AKAI CDs. ________________________________

I agree zip disk are absolutely the way to go. I use them for My S1000 and my MPC60 II. If anyone needs blank disk email me at beats@... I have the Maxell 5pack for $12. ________________________________

Can 100% confirm that Zip disks are the way. I now operate about 1000 100MB zips across 6 platforms of sampler and computer and have never lost any data once a disk was formatted correctly on the machine you're going to use for the storage/retrieval cycle, and tested before critical use. I don't have experience of Akai (I know 5000 works well obviously, as does Kurzweil, they both use a PC format more or less) Emu or Roland with PC , but a thorough test is always a good plan before committing to a system. I would recommend writing on the plastic case what format you have used, and especially in the case of Akai S 1000 to 3000 how many partitions you decided on, that can really assist when hunting for that lost program. Also the various sub-formats of Emu can be a pain, "save as EIII" being a good work-round for them, as most samplers can read that. There is a limit to the number of files you can fit on a zip ( seems to be 100 files) that seems to be got round by making folders before you transfer files.

Hi, There is a tool called "akautil" which can be used to read/write/format/convert S1000 and S3000 media and image files: http://sourceforge.net/projects/akaiutil/ Hope this is helpful. --- In akaiS1000S1100Samplers@yahoogroups.com, Ben Clark Jr <benfclark@...> wrote:
