Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi

It seems like not compatible CD-ROM/drive.

I think this is a CD-ROM drive SPEED/READING problem. Akai S1000 is no longer reading CD's with more than 4x speed. I have personally checked it. 

I have a Toshiba CD-ROM 32x for my Kurzweil K2661,when I was trying to use it with S1000 I had exactly the same problems. 
Yes, You can save samples on HD, but with those copied errors (as seen by S1000 with errors).

Akai S3000 is a newer sampler, which supports faster CD-ROM drives, that's why there is no problem with using faster CD-ROM drive on this machine. So that's why You can read samples from S1000s external hd (samples written using faster, more than 4x, not fully supported CD-ROM drive on S1000) on Your S3000 - they all are understood by S3000, because of more than 4x reading/writting speed support.

I suggest You to buy supported CD-ROM drive - best are those from Toshiba, but remember not faster than 4x!!! 

Personally I use SCSI CD-ROM TOSHIBA XM-5401B - this device is fully working with my S1000HD, I have bought it used in mint condition just for 14 euro here in Europe.

I hope this will help You.

regards

Raphael
