Using a mixed mode Akai CD on a mac?

Using a mixed mode Akai CD on a mac?

2002-02-28 by thirdspacemusic

Hi 
I've searched the database about this, but all answers seem to point to 
extracting the Akai bit to a disc imge using a Windows utility in 
Virtual PC. There must be an easier way on the Mac???

Thanks

Mike

Well try this :
1. remove the VstPlugIns folder of the Logic folder
2. then launch Logic and load the Akai CD/CD-Rom in EXS

It should work , simply.
Maybe this tip can be put in the FAQ , no ?

The simple solution for me was to use my CD burner to read the CD-ROM part
of the Akai disc - seems to work most of the time

cheers

This carbon lib 1.39 does definitely work, and it can be found in the files
section of the lug site.
