Hi David,

The program ALLWAYS puts the converted samples into any "AKAI samples"
sub*structure* of your Logic program directory.
Now, why did I say *structure*?
Because this doesn't have to be a "true" folder but it could also be a
shortcut to whatever folder you like.
So, the principle is:
Conversion puts samples to => "AKAI Samples" => "AKAI Samples" is saying
"Hey, I'm not really a folder, I'm just a shortcut pointing to
G:\Whatever\EXS\AKAI\CoolSampleCD, lemme put the samples into that folder
for you" => the samples will all be at their final destination.
As I said, the target of the shortcut needs to be altered for each and every
AKAI CD, but I still find this to be the easiest way.

Oh, I almost forgot something; on Windows the shortcut target entry needs
some "'s in the beginning and the end, so it should actually look like
"G:\Whatever\EXS\AKAI\CoolSampleCD".

Regards,
Sascha
