the Z series would not be possible because the computer would be unable
to recognize the AKAI format. If your soft sampler will read AKAI files,
it would be possible to load the files into the computer, then transfer
them to the sampler (as .wav files).

anyway This software would let me do that
http://www.cdxtract.com/. In your case, at least the Usb way would work for wav., alot of people are editing in Sound Forge then dumping into the sampler via USb

Influx - I'm playing with a band in a rehersal space (ok, it's a crakhouse, but) away from the rest of my studio. I'd love to be able to drage the sampler, a CD-ROM drive, and my CD library without having to have a PC around.

The S6000 arrived yesterday. It's soooo much easier to get around on than the S2000, yet very familiar if you've had an Akai before. The large, detachable screen is the bomb - I can drag it anywhere in the studio and work. 16 outs standard is the bomb. The FX processor is OK - usable for sure. PC floppy/hard disk and .wav compatibility is the bomb. Adding the USB card will probably just make me shit myself with glee

I just thought of something...doesnt it take IDE hard drives? why not just drop like an 8 gig in there for $40?

Regardless, it's a fucking beast of a sampler

You will see you can "see" Akai disks on your PC. It does the conversion and what I've gathered seems to be the one people use. With the usb card you could then transfer over to your Akais internal HD. The popular way now is to use software to edit and add FX especially if your are not happy with the Akai effects. Anyway you'll decide how you want to do it. I am thinking about jumping on the deal at MF myself and would probably approach the Sample handling and storage as I have described

I never got any CDs from Nobody.
I don't really see how you can beat it.. 16 outs, 128 voices, s/pdif and aes/ebu i/o, SCSI, and that detachable panel all for $1200.. It's a steal fer sure. And anyone whose had an Akai before will find this thing easy as all hell to work with - even without Ak.Sys.
