I am in front of my computer, Windows XP, that is connected to my MPC4000. Typing on another laptop.
Let me know if I am talking about something different than you.
When I open ak.sys I have the directory on the left.
On the top there are these tabs:
File GO View Sample Edit Help

When I click on Sample Edit:
Delete Sample Cache
Choose Sample Editor

If you click Choose sample editor:
Select a sample editor screen appears.
My computer defaults to Audacity

On my machine it's in the C:\Program Files\Audacity\audacity.exe
Files of type: Executables(*.exe)

So, back to the directory on the left side.
If I click Samples
Then all of the samples loaded in my memory show up on the right side.
If I right click on a sample
then choose EDIT
Audacity opens up with that sample loaded and in wave form ready for editing.

I wish I was able to take pictures for you.
Let me know if this helps.

Cheers,
Ian


Well that's also my procedure,.. like I said I did try this with 3 editors,
I can audition the sample and edit it and all in aksys, yet when I press >edit< as in open up in sample editor) I get:

Aksys ERROR sample not found (name of sample)

:?

So this suck the dogs balls ... am I the only one in the world that cant get this to work,.. everyone else just running it smooth .. :hmmm:

No one here with some apple IQ to chime in, thinking this must be the installation problem at this point ... going to do a complete mac format and OS update if I dont get this running correct in the next few days..

a.k.a can someone pinpoint the source of the problem based on my scenario ..

this may or may not be of any assistance but i just hot-swap a thumb drive when i need to move samples back and forth between my mac (which doesn't support aksys) and my 4k. easy peasy.
