Some akai setups use different programs in a single patch -- like 
violins with oboe.  In such cases "merge programs" would merge the 
violins and oboes into a single EXS instrument.  Without "merge" you 
would get one violins instrument and one oboe instrument.  AFAIK 
there's no easy way to 'see' (e.g. from the akai import window) if 
'merge' should be on or not -- it depends on what an akai sampler 
would do with those programs.   If one folder contains e.g. 4 
different violin programs, you can be pretty sure that those should 
_not_ be merged. if a folder called 'tutti' contains 5 instruments 
though, you probably should switch 'merge' on.  It's mainly a matter 
of experimentation -- or loading the disk into an akai sampler and 
see what it does.
