Akai Sample Archive

2003-02-03 by Tim Curtis

Hi -

Does anyone know if the archive at ftp://ftp.akaipro.co.jp is still 
around?  I'm having a bit problem accessing it it it's still there.

What's the story?  Is it gone, sometimes available/sometimes not, or 
just so busy that it's hard to get a connection?

Thanks,

Tim

Yes, it's hard to get a connection. It has probably gotten a lot more
popular over the last year. There are a limited number of access points.

Any possibility of getting these on a 3rd party computer? There's no
copyright issues with the raw samples is there? It would be fun to
compare notes on making our own 'power-user' patches for EXS with a
common source of raw waves.

Thanks for your response.

By "hard" what do you mean?  :-)

I've been trying for a few days now, repeatedly.  Is it something that 
you can usually get to after trying for a few minutes?

Thanks,

Tim

Probably more like every hour or so, or day. If 50/50 people are
downloading, you're waiting for just one to leave, while other people are
attempting the same thing you are. 50 connections is hypothetical. I have no
idea what the real number is...

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.
