Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

OK then that'll be the problem. The disks will be
formatted for DOS so your akai won't understand
how to read them. You'll need to format them on
the akai but I no longer have an S1000 and don't
remember the procedure. Format will no doubt be
found by pressing the disk button. Sorry I can't
be of more help but have a look through the
manual as it describes how to do it there. Rob
