If the file is a S3000 CD *image* this will work - just pop the image into
your favourite CDR software and burn. The resultant CD will be readable by
EXS. This is in the same way that if you are saving your akai samples to a
HDD - if the HDD partition is < 650MB you can scsi image copy the HDD to a
CD and use that as any other akai CD. Very cool for burning your own created
sample sets to CD for archiving, sharing with mates or just clearing off
your HDD. Works with EMU and Roland samplers too...

Ack, getting knickers in a twist replying too hastily. To clarify ;
1) EXS _only_ likes converting akai format samples from CD. It _wont_
convert from floppies or other media.
2) If your archive has wav/aif and a definition it is NOT a proper akai
sample. Its probably aimed at being a downloadable archive to be converted
to akai floppy format. To do this you need to use AkaiDisk or Teledisk,
depending on which format the archive you downloaded is. For further info
check :
Teledisk : http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/cgi-bin/search?query=teledisk.zip
Akaidisk : http://www.abel.co.uk/~maxim/akai/index.htm
Akaidisk FAQ : http://www.abel.co.uk/~maxim/akai/akaifaqs.htm
None of this helps you if your archive is to create a floppy as EXS wont
read it


Solution :
  Best plan is to use the wav/aif files directly and create the EXS24
instruments yourself. Unless you have masses to do, creating instruments is
easy, and doesn't take much time.

Hope that maes a bit more sense ;-)

Hi all,

Some zip files containing only a *.TD0 file and some containing *.wav 
and *.s3p files like this one:

UD H 4.wav
UD G#4.wav
UD F 4.wav
UD D 4.wav
UD H 3.wav
UD G#3.wav
UD E 3.wav
UD C#3.wav
UD H 2.wav
UD E 2.wav
UD G 2.wav
UD.s3p
UD BASS.s3p

I've downloaded a few so defining them all myself in the instrument 
manager is a lot of work. But I understand I can't use the EXS 
converter for files on my harddrive. I should burn a cd-rom with 
these s3000 files.

Maarten

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
