Andy,

It's STRICTLY AKAI format....S1000. It works with any
AKAI compatible software and I have personally used it
with Kontakt, EXS24, Gigasampler and Emu hardware
samplers. One trick that Kean doesn't mention on his
website, and one that is NOT so obvious if you have
never imported AKAI into softsamplers: Launch the
application BEFORE you put the disk in the drive.
Otherwise, your computer will have no clue at all what
to do with the files on the disk.

as previously stated in other replies, it's an AKAI
format CDROM [using their "partition" system].

there is a program called "cdxtract" that allows you
to read, preview, catalog and convert the samples.
you can even setup new programs for various samplers
using the "xtracted" data.

CD Extract is an excellent tool. I used it to pull AKAI files
into WAV format and then use in a software sampler. Doing this
you'll find that the Pinder (et al) samples work very well with
Sampletank, and any other soft-sampler that supports WAV.

Ehem, at the peril of stumbling into some kind of 'Watcher intro' minefield 
(if such be the case, in my defense I did actually search the list prior to 
posting this, and it came up blank on this subject), I hope I can get a 
straight answer to the following question: *What is that organ tape on 
Genesis's 'Seven Stones' (_Nursery Cryme_, 1971)*. It sounds nothing like 
any Hammond tape I've heard. But I'm sure it's Tron.

Thanks! That's been bothering me, especially since the voices in my head 
have been trying to convince me it's an Optigan (!)

Ach, you beat me to it. ;)

And yes, Nursery Cryme is a great album, though IMO no rival to the glory of 
Selling England .... Also, the latter is chock full of Tron, much more so 
than the former.

Regards,

Dagfinn

The track sheet shows Stereo "Mellatron". I wonder if they ever tried
putting it through a "Lezlie"
