HI - I am new here - SCSI and PC question

HI - I am new here - SCSI and PC question

2009-01-11 by the_emulatorii

Hey guys, i have an AKAI S1000 with SCSI installed.
all i need to do is transfer wave samples to the S1000 and then save
them to a floppy.

unfortunately there is no tool to do this.
i have wavelab, but it seems that it can only transfer via MIDI...

i found this fmjsoft.com Awave software in the forum, but the trial
version does not let me test this and i dont wanna spend 100$ not
knowing if it will.

so: is there any free PC software that will run on WinXP that will do
this?

thanx

The only program which promises to convert and transfer any sample-format into AKAI S-3000 format ( can be read/loaded into S-1xxx w/ highest OS also) is Chickensys Constructor.
Constructor creates a diskimage of a AKAI CD-ROM at least, the transfer is by the CD-ROM then.

The program is relatively new and I don´t have it up to now because it isn´t available in europe actually,- I plan to buy it but have no experience up today.
It´s not free.

All the other programs read AKAI format only and convert to other formats, but not vice versa.

AKAI samplers don´t read wav format.

Hi and thanks for you answer....
i can not believe it???
no software fore such a widely spread sampler?
what i wanted to do is just transfer, nothing else.
i also have a S2000 and i am working with wavelab:
you just load a wav sample, then go to "send to sampler" and it is transfered to the S2000 via SCSI - easy!!!!
in the list of supported samplers there is also the S1000 but it is only listed via MIDI transfer.
but i just cant believe that there is no sollution to transfer via SCSI to the S1000 ?????
there must be something???
no?

It´s an old Sampler which WAS widely spread.
I have 4 b.t.w. and I have Wavelab 4.01b too.
I never used it for the S 1000 / S 1100,- it can be used w/ it but I have no SCSI board in my computer.
If it works w/ S-2000, it probably works w/ the S 1xxx series too,- don´t know.

For me, it´s not interesting to transfer samples via MIDI or SCSI because it´s too slow for larger amounts of content.

SCSI is very outdated and I´ve not seen any SCSI PCIe card for any computers mainboard.
There are PCI cards but they will dissappear soon uór being unusable as soon you´ll find no PCI slots anymore on mainboards.

You asked for a free program and you have Wavelab already.
I said there is no free program and Wavelab is also not free.

Wavelab deals w/ the samples only but not w/ the Akai S series program structure, that´s the point.

Constructor allows to import any programs and samples from vintage and todays samplers and uses these files in it´s own format as long as you work in the program on your machine.
You create new setups and programs and than, you can transfer this to any sampler again and it´s playable form a keyboard or sequencer.
This way you could use the same library in any of your available samplers, even virtual ones like Kontakt, Halion, Independence, EXS, EMU X and such,- as also in your hardware samplers.

Constructor seems to be the only program which can do this and it´s not expensive, there was a X-mas special for $99.-

It´s only a question how good it can do it actually and if it´s not so good, what the updates bring in near future.

I´ll buy it any way and as sonn there are distrubutors in europe as also support and my probs are solved I hope.

Wavelab deals w/ the raw samples only and if you export samples from Wavlelab in Akai mode these aren´t WAV anymore.

AKAI doesn´t read wav.

Forget everything is for free in the world and there´s definitely nothing which "MUST" exsist.
It´s hard work to code a really universal program and it´s worth the money if it works correctly.

I can't believe it either!
I have the s1100 and I finally got a PC (Windows = YUCK!) and a ton of SCSI stuff (PCI card) 
but I'm actually thinking about going back to the MPC 1000 just because it's so easy to 
transfer samples between it and my mac! (USB port and card reader)

Unfortunately, http://scsiforsamplers.com/ is out of business,
I was going to buy an external SCSI Card Reader box for my s1100..
