I want to buy an Akai S 2000 - How can I load samples?
Hey there, I want to get an S 2000. I know it's a pain to edit stuff on it but it's a really good deal and I just want to try it and I could really use an outboard sampler for a few simple tasks like playing back drum samples / loop slices and that would be the cheapest option so far.
My question is: how can you load samples into it? I know you can format floppies inside it - can I just get an easy inexpensive usb floppy drive, format a floppy drive in the Akai sampler, convert and zip some wave files with a program like ConvertWithMoss ( Link is here ) and then write the zipped package onto the Floppy to then load into the Sampler?
Or am I missing something? I know it also has a SCSI connection but my Computer has none so that would be much more complicated for me...
I would like to know if this can work like that before I finally bag the Akai and aren't able to use it in the end...
Is here someone who also has an Akai S 2000 and still uses it today, who can point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance! 😊👍🏻
