[exs] Extracting Midi files from AKAI sample disks

2001-11-19 by Nick Loe

I've successfully converted a few AKAI format CDs - the EXS appears to do an
excellent job. I have one problem, however, and have scoured the specs of
any AKAI conversion utilities I can find to no avail:

On converting Talvin Singh's Abracatabla CD, only the sample files and
programs are converted - none of the Akai format MIDI files, which can be
seen and read on my S2000, are converted successfully - they just appear as
non-functioning exs instrument files.

Can anyone help?

hummm,
with the CD/DVD extension ( in the system folder of the Mac, do a copy of
the extension manager first...)) u cannot have access to an Akai Cd ;o(
If u want to mount an akai Cd u will have to disable the Cd/DVD extension,
and probably to use Toast to mount the Cd and to open it...
I've never tried but maybe some users ???

I don't know if you can get there from here. I think maybe MESA is your 
only solution. Here's an overview.

There is the Akai S-100 and S-3000 format, which is proprietary. In other 
words, it cannot be seen natively by a Mac or PC. This CD apparently has 
songs and q-lists stored on the disk in S-1/3 format.

Any of the programs (EXS, Unity, some others) that can see and read off 
Akai S-1/3 formatted CD's just look at programs and samples, since their 
point is to load these.

We are working on Translator Mac, and your suggestion is well taken, and 
we'll try to implement a way to take these off CD and make a SMF file out 
of them.

But in the meantime, I think MESA could possibly do this?

Remember you can also convert SoundFonts using the EXS24 so check this link
out:

http://www.musicware.dial.pipex.com/SoundFonts.htm

Or doing a search in http://www.google.com/ for 'SoundFonts to download' or
similar. This came back with numerous links when I tried.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
