Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi all.

I recently bought an S1000KB fully expanded with 32MB, digi in/out 
and SCSI.

I hooked it up to my old Apple CDROM drive and inserted one of my 
Akai CDROM's into it.

The Akai CAN read the content on the CDROM, but whenever I try to 
load anything it stops as soon as it tries to load a sample (it gives 
me a Hard Disk Error message). It seems to load the empty presets 
fine.

Am I setting it up wrong ? Am I supposed to do anything special in 
the OS ?

I have terminated the CDROM drive in the SCSI chain, and I've set the 
Hard Drive ID to the same as the CDROM drive.

HELP !! :-)

If you've got both the CDROM and the hard drive connected, this probably
isn't what you want.

Only the devices at the ends of the SCSI chain should be terminated, and
every device should have a different SCSI ID set.

Sometimes, leaving one end unterminated makes it work.  I don't know
why.  SCSI is a bit like that.

In that case yes, you do want to tell the sampler to use the SCSI ID of
the CDROM.

As a matter of interest, have you tried it with a SCSI hard disc?

Hi Gordon. 

 

No – I haven’t had the chance yet.

 

BUT ! Actually it helped removing my SCSI terminator … Weird world of SCSI.

I can’t remember all the times I’ve tried out different SCSI ID’s and terminator settings back in the day using my Emu samplers.

 

I had almost forgotten how troublesome it could be J

 

Thanks;

 

Kenneth
