BTW thx ROBOT.....but cdextract only converts in akai s5/6000 and mpc format...not the s1000 and s3000 akai format.
Click to expand...

CDextract will do Akai S1000 / S3000 all the way up to S6000

Info here on formats.

On the CDextract website look at the TAB that says Formats

oh man i didnt push the button a third or fourth times so akai s appear on last place...damn...thx the robot for clearing....

so cdextract seems the shit

wasgedn · Oct 10, 2018

seem i also can convert batches but look here , no akai s3000 in convert wizzard

forgive me if i just should read manual and if you convert akai iso's to s3000 all the time with cdextract...it can handle it...its mentioned in help manual..

wasgedn · Oct 10, 2018

may it be that open iso in cdextract are akai format allready ?? and so you come into problems
---------------
EDIT
but how is it...when you make an iso...are the source files altered into iso or are the sourcefiles still there in the iso file ??

i think cdextract is read only for akai s1000 s3000 format....sames as awave,same as extreme sample converter which seem like reversed cdextract...

Last edited: Oct 10, 2018

wasgedn · Oct 10, 2018

i have the guess that translator 6 for 125 is burning cdextract for $139..
are guys here who kno both programms and can bring light...
in question of convert into akai s3000 translator rules clearly....or is here anyone who used cdextract to convert into akai s3000 format...
i also guess translator6 does batch converting.......so...

@wasgedn I take it you want to use AKAI CD’s in your S3000?, if I am correct reading your question then the old way that has stood the test of time is to import them all via a SCSI CD ROM.
You will find it quicker more reliable and no conversion is needed.

If your current setup doesn’t have the optional SCSI Board installed they are available via EBay etc etc.

Some handy info for you (Saves me typing and trying to recall how I did things back in 1990) is to go to this link and look on the far right under specifications.

WeRAllFosterChildren · Oct 11, 2018

What people need to keep in mind is that the issue with Akai discs doesn't depend on what ISO utility you use. The content is a different type of file system - like FAT, NTFS, HFS, EXT4, etc. Most CDs use some version of the ISO9660 file system, but some proprietary stuff like Akai discs do not. They use their own weird scheme, so your computer/OS have no way to read it.

That's why you NEED TO use some special sample translator like CDxtract or Chicken Systems, they access the proprietary file system directly, so your OS isn't involved. But that means that you can't just open a folder and drag the samples out.

wasgedn · Oct 15, 2018

thx for replys....

i this case i wanted e.g. read a akai floppydisk with omniflop or take a iso and convert it back to AKAI so i can dump it to hfe format for usb emu....and all mentioned instead of translator only read and convert into another format from AKAI format..no writing into akai format

but to do that in batches and not sample for sample s the thing...so i give up for the first and thought fck preserve fck archive collecting stupid fck..just hear samples in cdextract ...the ones i like i will dump through scsi
to sampler and use it in projects...similar to sinevibe...but it would be cool to have easy option to do this without scsi and sampler on pc...
but i guess there is no easy at all...there are some guys out there having og AKAI libarys in hfe foppy format or on sd card...
i mean even if you have a cd3000 there is no option to load iso cd's into it at all...because you would need to convert the cd in its og file structure to akai.......
ok you can do the job with translator but even in version 6 i dont think its easy job to convert a whole aka cd iso back to file structured akai format cd...
would it be otherwise we would have a lot of releases for that and a lot of ppl would dl...
i believe herr roboter, if you would found a pile of old akai format disks or cd's ,completly new never used in top condition , you would love to use them in youre sampler...maybe.....or not..?

i waiting for scsi card too...but thats another story...

here is qoute on topic AKAI FORMAT for guys searching forums

how to get problematic bin files to work..thx rasputin

Rasputin said: ↑

That said, even though they really are bad rips, it's actually possible to fix them if you know what you're doing, so I guess I technically misspoke to a degree when I said, "never will work." But they're definitely non-working in their normal state. It shouldn't be necessary to go through this very unusual method to use an Akai CD, but... this is an entirely unique circumstance.

How? (Remember, not all PHOTONE releases are bad, so this should only be done on the invalid ones listed earlier in the thread)

Use WinBin2Iso to convert an original PHOTONE xyz.bin to xyz-fixed.bin. Yes, that's right--you're converting a bin to a bin instead of an ISO which is totally nonsensical, but do it anyway. WinBin2Iso lets you supply the output file name, so just change the *.iso to *.bin and choose convert.

Use WinBin2Iso again on xyz-fixed.bin and convert it to xyz.iso, just as you'd normally expect to use the program.

That's it. And yes, the ISO will be much smaller than the original bin/cue, but it is the correct method, nonetheless.

do someone kno if s3000 format can be read by s1100 ? i think yes but if someone can bring clarification , its highly appreciated

The-RoBoT · Oct 15, 2018

Yes but it depends on developer, S1000 is the standard they are all meant to conform too, but some for reasons only known to them stray away from the recommended standard employed by AKAI.

SineWave · Nov 11, 2018

@wasgedn I just burn the AKAI image onto a CD, then load it into S3200, and save what I like on a SD card. Simple.

Regarding samples that I make on PC, I rarely bother with SCSI and SoundForge these days, just sample the output from my audio card into S3200, through the mixer and often compressor. It sounds nice. Nice dirt.

wasgedn · Nov 11, 2018

thx sinewave...you did say that in another post but it dont hurt to say again...thx
----------------------------
Nice dirt.i kno what you mean...thats were the s3200 points

SineWave · Nov 12, 2018

I forgot to mention that I also use the optical digital input on S3200, at times when I feel the sound should be preserved as much as possible. Sometimes doing the AD conversion can be just a tad too much.

wasgedn · Nov 12, 2018

very interesting to sample in digital... i get an optical wire
i ve read in manual that digital out provides best possible record...

the smpte board is just for syncing with other devices or ? will i ever need it i ask myself

Last edited: Nov 12, 2018

SineWave · Nov 12, 2018

Sampling digitally should be pretty much like sending it over SCSI. If you use the same sampling frequency and bit depth on both sides. It's a really nice and fast solution. I use Voxengo R8Brain to prepare samples for 44100/16-bit Akai uses.

SMPTE board is for syncing to video mixers and shit, yes. You will never need it, and neither will I.

wasgedn · Nov 12, 2018

wasgedn · Nov 21, 2018

Honestly, Translator 6 is totally worth the money. Way stable compared to older versions I've used in the past. You can "translate" pretty much anything into anything. I've converted, Kontakt and Soundfonts into S5000 patches. Along with my entire EMU Ultra library (.e4b). Ensoniq CD's, you name it. Now I just have to go thru and listen to it all
