Akai Sampler

Hi,

After many years I am looking to reconnect with around 200 akai floppy disks and have questions if you can advise please.

is there a viable route to connect them  to iMac either with a sampler( sold years ago)?

Floppy disks:what is needed to read them and transfer to the iMac? Or what is needed for Sampler to iMac ?

cheers

Akai MPK 249 Toggle switch wont engage

Hi, I'm new here and new to Pro Tools so I don't know much. I am using the Ueberschall Elastik 3 player to assign drum loops to my midi keyboard. The problem is, the loops only run as long as I hold the key down. I need them to run when I engage the key and turn off when I depress it a second time. I read the Akai manual and I think they refer to this as setting keys to toggle.

Akai Pro — MPC X Overview & Demo

Akai go standalone with the brand new MPC Live. the control layout is exactly the same as last year’s MPC Touch controller/interface, with a seven-inch full-colour multi-touch display, 16 backlit pads, four rotary encoders and a master encoder knob. The big difference is stand-alone operation, with 2GB of sampling RAM and 16GB of on-board storage.

Akai S3000 floppy format ?

I am fighting an old Akai S3000. It seems to be working fine but I can't figure out how to format a 3.5" floppy. I have the instruction manual which shows a screen that you get when you push the FORM soft key, but I can't find how to make the FORM label come up.

btw, existing floppies load just fine so the drive is ok. and yes, I have checked the write protect.

Akai MPC Renaissance

Right on, I've Been waiting 9 months for an MPC Renaissance. Its finally available so I just ordered it. Here is an excellent introduction video on it. Looks like they kept it pretty close to the classic design and added great new features. My MPC 60 died so this is like heaven again.

Check it out!
