What are you saving onto with the Akai S950?

So I read those Gotek emulators don't work with the S950. Are the only choices Lotharek, Stratos or an external scsi? Are there any issues to look for?

floppys

Yeah 2HD (1.44mb) type floppies are surprisingly reliable. But I never like to use two floppies for a single project. I think eventually I want to upgrade to the hxc floppy emulator.

Thanks, I'm trying to keep the floppy. I dont really want an external zip and lotharek will replace the floppy. That leaves me with one choice.

Until they're not.
I got sick of floppies going bad on me.. even supposedly new floppies.
I got an HxC emulator in mine but damn they are expensive

2HD.

Floppies are surprisingly solid and reliable. I had a big sample-disk lot of 60+ floppies for my old Mirage, that were made in the mid '80s by a 3rd party company. Only 2 out of all of them had a hard time loading or had probs. When comparing to newer modern technology - I've had several small keychain flash-drives and a few bigger desktop/laptop hard-drives taking a dump on me.

I was wondering, is there anyone who just doesn't save in the sampler? Just record the track (multitrack out) and leave it at that?

That' s more like old synths, where you can' t save the patch. Finish and record the track, or loose your patch.

i often dont save just track it, but I also lotharek it to SD cards when I really want to save.
