Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

hello everyone,

am happy to find the group. i'm an audio-video practitioner.
recently got gifted an S1000KB.
i have approximately zero sounds for it.
got an internal 1/2gig scsi drive working with it.
recorded a few sounds.

i'm interested in acquiring some S1000 formatted material and actually being able to copy these to the machine.
i've got a scsi CD writer. I'd also like to figure out how to dump sounds via scsi onto the instrument...
...and, if possible, figure out how to convert existing sampler patches to an s1000 format (i'm guessing that 
translator is the only thing for that?)

with greetings,
Brian McKenna

translator is the best way to get sample's on your akai hardrive,format and connect your scsi hd into a pc,
or just stick it in the scsi chain somewhere,

then use the translator software to copy the sample's strait on to
your drive,job done.


but another way I have found, make sure you have a later o.s loaded,
I have the s1000 and my o.s is 4.3,
I have connected it by scsi to my pc to an adaptec card,
make sure your scsi bios see's the sampler,'it won't have a name,on mine it just shows a small list of characters'.you might have to fiddle with the scsi settings on you scsi cardto get it to see it.

So set the scsi to look for ID 5(default) or whatever its set ,and try a few different settings.If its not working(this whole thing counts on the fact you have your scsi bios set up right),if you are having problems you might want to isolate just the sampler and computer until you've sussed it.


Now I only found this out to work recently because i didn't think s1000 worked with scsi sample dump standard, but i have got it to work using recycle 2.0,
i just set it to send to an s3200 and set the ID.

Then load a wav sound in(it could be a drum set in one file,then you can get recycle to split the sounds and send to the sampler,it even creates the program, i was well pleased when i got this to work:)

The only software I have this working in is recycle,so you would have to find a copy, I think it would also not work on any newer version,i couldnt send with soundforge etc. dont know why?, has anyone else got scsi sample dump working into an s1000 on pc?,if so ,how did you get it working?.


good luck, it is possible....

you bought a sampler.

so sample and build your own library?

1. Set the SCSI ID if the SCSI Zipdrive to 5 (with jumpers), so the S1100 will find the zipdrive automatically when powering up.

2. Set termination of the zipdrive to "off", so you can use the external SCSI connection at the same time.

3. Put the SCSI connector of the SCSI flat cable "the wrong way around" in the SCSI socket of the Akai SCSI card. (at least with my SCSI card, there are several version, also without an internal SCSI socket) . Maybe you have to remove the "bulb" on the SCSI cable.

Cheers

Also if you want a new LCD backlight, this is the guy to go to: Matthew White, email backlights@...
He makes all the Akai backlights and will custom make for most other gear too.

Hello people!
I'm a proud new owner of 2 s1100 samplers.
One of them is fully loaded with working floppy drive.
The other has 4mb, a faulty drive and a dimmed el panel.
I have the intention to restore the latter and chage both floppy drives for 2 scsi zip units I have.
Hope I can find some guidance in this group, as it seems to be.
Cheers!
