YEK Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 how do files get loaded onto rack samplers from cdroms using scsi? is it easy to do? is it drag and drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psn Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 No drag&drop, I don't think a GUI comes into the picture here. Can you be more specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you be more specific? just wondering how you get samples from a cd into a sampler. i realize that different brands might have different ways...

psn Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The files on the CD will probably have to be a certain format that the sampler supports, etc. Then there is some sort of button pressing procedure to load samples from disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, looks like they're still releasing them - http://www.producerloops.com/Akai-S-3000-Sample-CD-Downloads/?skipcdn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entropi Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 how do files get loaded onto rack samplers from cdroms using scsi? is it easy to do? is it drag and drop? Well, you connect the CD-ROM-drive via SCSI, and then dive into your samplers "LOAD"-menu (if you happen to get the sampler to recognize the CD-drive, proper SCSI-communication and termination is a science of it's own). It takes a bit of luck, isn't drag & drop and you have to like old samplers to really see the joy of it all. There is a whole new way to get sounds into old stuff with the help och flashcard-readers but then you have to have your CD-ROM-sounds already in your computer to tranfer the sounds to the sampler... (I used to love my old 2MB Akai S2000 and used just floppies with it! My 5-6 softsamplers doesn't sound the same even with same sourcematerial, not that the S2000 has anything "special" about it's sound but different samplers treat sounds their own way... But I'm not going back to old hardware and their ancient transfermethods anyway...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
