AKAI Mailing List FAQ Ice-Cool Ice Cool is the King of SCSI connectivity. His document (FAQ) on this topic is highly regarded by all AKAI plebs. There's an article on this site which links to his page. Ice Cools Site Jan Jan has produced an excellent software application which allows us to control the sampler from the PC. It also lets you transfer WAV files between your PC and the Sampler. It is named "Millenium". I use it and It's GREAT! I couldn't be without it. Robert Nice Mr Nice has developed an application for transferring samples from PC to Sampler. It's named "NiceWave". Robert makes the program freely available. NiceWave Site ThE SaMpLisT ThE SaMpLisT runs a nicely presented and maintained AKAI site, which is worth checking out. ThE SaMpLisT Paul Kellett: Paul developed "AKAIDisk" and has released it for free. That's the spirit! AKAIDisk is a MS-DOS / Windows program which converts between AKAI sample disks and WAV format. It supports: S900,S950,S1000 and S3000 samplers. AkaiDisk Site Jim Purbrick What do all samplists require? Answer: Samples. S-Zero offers (free) AKAI samples for you to play with. Download them, have some fun...then upload some of your own sounds for others to use. Thanks Jim! S-Zero KenFen Kenfen has produced a sample CD-ROM entitled: Zip'o'Drumz, which I've reviewed on this site. However, Ken has been added to this list because he provided many free samples to Jims S-Zero site and also offered a sample CD to list members for only the cost of a CD, plus postage (I believe this offer has now expired). Your efforts are appreciated. KenFen Productions If you (or someone you know) deserves a mention in the AKAI Articles Hall of Fame, please let me know: TroyWoodfield@USA.NET
