Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

As I recall there were a number of floppies that were quite poor with the S900, then there was a similar scenario with the S1000.
I wandered past the studio where they were making the programmes. Abbey Road? Air? One of the two. 

It was a small room and the noises weren't that good.
The earlier floppies all became available later on the CDROMs. 

I'm a little unclear what series was what as I took my eye off the ball, going for emu.
I have s1000 Vol 1 and I think that was it until later. It was all the floppies they had done as far as I remember.
It's not that good. I had the floppies and went through them for a few days, there's not that much stuff that stands up now.

Your S1000 may play other libraries, (the 3000 series does,) which gives you Roland and EIII, both much wider choice and better sonic quality in my opinion.

I have Vol 3 which was purely drums, I don't know what 2 was.
Volume 6 I have may be for the S3000.
Most of the good Akai samples I have were done by engineers on the spot or CD libraries by third parties.

Better is subjective I know, but ................

Subject: [akaiS1000S1100Samplers] Does anyone have the factory sound programs for the S1000?
 

  
I am looking to get a hold of the original factory programs so I can load the stock sounds onto my S1000. Does anyone have these or know where I can get them?

Thanks!
